Just a reminder to send in your posts (http://blogcarnival.com/bc/submit_17508.html) to be included in the next Havel Havelim, thanks.
Some of you readers are facebook friends of mine, and some of you even clicked this post because I mentioned it on my facebook status. To be frank that's why I joined facebook, to promote my blogs, but as I got to know fb, I began to treasure the personal, family and friend-real friend aspect of it. Most of my children, along with cousins and their kids are facebook friends, and I quickly began to limit
the amount of people I agreed to "friend." Suddenly I put up barriers. If I didn't "know" someone either personally or their blog or want to know them as a person, I refused to accept their fb friendship.
Last night I was at a workshop (here in Shiloh) about using social media for
Hasbara, Israel's information campaign. Now, that is why I opened an account with facebook. The young man who spoke, from something called "
newmedia," if I got the name right, said that to make a splash, have your message get out to the maximum of people, you must have masses and masses of facebook friends. If I do that, I will offend my kids and confuse family. Of course I do post links to my blog posts, even the most extreme posts, or especially the most extreme posts. My political opinions are far from Center.
I have a lot to think about. Your opinions are welcome.
