“I thought I should probably lay claim to some kind of recognizable URL, and so I dug through my old notes and tried to dredge up my old Facebook account information.

Things didn’t go so well for me:”

and

“I still won’t likely be spending much time on Facebook: I have Twitter for “quick” updates, and this blog for my larger thoughts, so I’m not sure what that leaves for Facebook”

It’s not so much about the quantity of time or if it was a waste… but as opposed to work, for which you get paid, your experiments with twitter to examine something truly new,or your tinkering with your clocks, from which you clearly derive great pleasure, even by your own descriptions, the face book thing seemed to be something you felt you *had* to do, rather than something you wanted to do with your free time.

After all, I asked how much time you spent – you are the one that replied calling it “wasted” time 😉

We all end up in situations like that, (it’s just easier to spot in our best friends blog than in ourselves *lol*), it seems an essential part of human nature and a powerful motivator. I find it interesting, and I find it puzzling that as a society we can use this motivator to sell things but we don’t seem to use it to further the “greater good” as it were. I wonder why? Is it because we won’t use it that way, or because to won’t work that way.
