Has it really been a week already?  Kind of interesting that I am hear now writing this post about the time I have been on Facebook when it was just a couple of weeks ago that I was still swearing I would never sign up.

I am not sure that I quite “get it” yet.  I know the point it just a social site for people connect, chat, and share videos/pictures.  What I don’t understand if the addiction that some seem to have for it.  I have found myself on it almost every night checking on what people posted and looking for new friends but I don’t feel the need to do so like I was going through with drawls from crack or something.  So far I have found the site to not be very user friendly.  A lot of the menus and options just aren’t very intuitive to me and it seems like there are links in several places for the same options but they do completely different things.

I am starting to find my way around more as time it going on and trying to get involved with comments and checking out what is going on with friends and family.  Still not ready to really give my website up as a place where I post pictures and videos though.

It almost pains me to say this… On 3/13/11 I finally signed up for a Facebook page.  I actually felt dirty this morning when I woke up even after I took a shower.  It will probably be a least a week before I will be able to get the stench off.

With that being said I am not going on in on this.  I have noticed a lot lately on ads mostly company aren’t pushing their websites, it is all about their Facebook page.  I wanted to finally take advantage of stuff like free food and other good stuff from restaurants.

Just not totally sure how much I will actually being using Facebook for sharing videos and pictures since I already do that here on my blog.  With that being said I am hoping that I can get a few more followers her with the help of Workbooker posts here will automatically show up on my Facebook page.  Who knows maybe if I get a lot of response there I will get into it a big more and actually do some more stuff there.

This video just makes me look forward to an Android phone so much more.  Angry Birds will probably be one of the first apps I down load when I get one.

After a Facebook campaign to have Betty White host Saturday Night Live, she had this to say about Facebook during her monolog.  Being someone that just things Facebook is one of the dumbest things on the Internet right next to Twitter I just had to post this..

This is just awesome that they were able to pull something like this off by even going to the lengths of starting a Pep Club at a school they don’t even attend.

Shortly after the official announchment of Google Chrome today they announce that Google will be providing DNS Servers. That they are saying will speed up your browsing. I don’t know if it will actually speed anything up but the first thing I did after seeing this was update the setting in my router.
