Is it weird when your mom is more "with it" than you are?

My mother (who up until a year ago couldn't even turn a computer on) has just set up a Facebook account to get in touch with some high school friends of hers (so far, she's reconnected with 4). Mom, my sister, and my friends keep telling me to get on it. But I just don't see the appeal. Though I may have to jump on the bandwagon soon because many of my real life friends have taken on the habit of announcing big news via facebook only.

Now I kinda feel like an old lady for thinking "why doesn't this generation just TALK to each other anymore?"

Oh well. :-P

That's my main problem, too. When it comes to LJ and Facebook, I prefer LJ. I just don't think to check Facebook, and all the e-mail I ever get for it is just stupid spam. Fun..

Yeah. And the second I jump on the Facebook bandwagon, I just KNOW another site will take its place. Not too long ago, MySpace was all the rage with my friends and sisters. Now its all about Facebook! Its not worth keeping up with, in my opinion.

You speak truth. Every time something new comes up with Live Journal policy, a lot of people seem to panic and get ready to jump ship to yet another new blogging site. It frustrates me, really. Already I'm learning of newer networking sites like Twitter (GAG!) and now Linked-In, or whatever it's called. Everyone seems ready to create new communities to get a piece of the pie. ...I can only eat so much pie. XP
