My Facebook use is up and therefore my Facebook "stock" is up. I first heard about the site a few years ago when its membership was restricted to college students. Not long after that, an acquaintance invited me to join. I had no intentions of ever being active, but I didn't see the harm, so I accepted. It took me months to fill out my portfolio, add pictures, and see what this virtual popularity contest could possibly have to do with me...
as soon as i started to show my "face" with any regularity, i was suddenly a prime target for "poking," "super poking," cyber frappuccinos, and membership in all sorts of socially conscious "groups."
"Aren't I a little old for this?" I wondered. I good-naturedly accepted invitations of friendship--even if I was only loosely acquainted with the person making the overture (or had know him or her so long ago and no vestige of actual friendship remained, even if it had been there once). I would occasionally marvel at how many people found me, but I had not yet thought of it as a leveraging agent...
Stay tuned.
