I continue to connect with friends and family on my social media sites. I can honestly say that I was hesitant to get on Facebook, MySpace, etc.
I thought these types of sites were a waste of time. After all, I keep in touch with my friends and family through phone and email and I don't have a lot of 'extra' time in my day to be playing on the internet.
But, I have a completely different opinion now. I am amazed at how many people I have reconnected with that I didn't even realize I missed. It is a lot of fun to see what is happening in everyone's lives.
There are plenty of people that I went to highschool or college with or even worked with in the past that I knew but not well enough to keep in touch on a more personal basis. These social media sites give me a way to know what is going on in their lives and reconnect with them.
It is also a great way to quickly update everyone on my life. I can post pictures of my kids or tell about a recent vacation without typing in everyone's email addresses and bogging down their email with a bunch of pictures.
Instead of being a time waster it is actually a time saver! Plus, when I have down time, like today at the dentist, I can check my Facebook page and see what everyone is up to-it helps to pass the time!
