This social revolution called "Facebook" et al, is an insidious, invidious beast of social collusion.
OK. I've only got 3 friends in the whole world apparently and i am NOT, NOT, NOT happy about this.
Obviously it has forced a major rethink of my friend finding strategy.
Should i have done better? (of course, else why would i be here with only 3 friends and whinging like crazy about it?)
But hang on.
My off line friend Ms. Justy, says sites like f-book are nasty for they encourage invasion of privacy. Someone posted a photo including Ms Justy on F-book - without her permission. Ms Justy isn't on facebook, she doesn't ever want to be on facebook and she certainly has the right to request that her photo isn't included.
There was a major kerchoo over this slight of courtesy and ignorance about privacy with the result that Ms J is now considered, by the pro f-book camp, to be "difficult".
I'm with her.
Opinionated, outspoken, injudicious with my comments and definitely that minnow against the overwelming tide.
Now; where was i in my cant on the 3 friend count????

Exactly what does Adoxography mean? Btw, Nice to see you hale and hearty once more. It's been a long time. Always on the lookout for blogs that make me smile. First time, however, I found one written by someone I actually know. So far so good :0))
hey david: ditto to long time. ditto to hale & hearty. a bit too h & h - but there are things that are worse. so i'm not complaining on that one.
adoxography means fine writing on trivial or base matters. the word was coined in the 19th c.
