But I've noticed the first rush of Facebook excitement also fading. I'm not getting poked, sent flowers, and so at the same rate as at the beginning of the summer and less people are finding me to be friends. And when facebook comes up in conversations there is a resistance that suggests that much of it's audience has already signed up and the rest are resisting. I thought that facebook had revolutionary potential, but now I wonder if it's going to be another fad like CB radios. Maybe some people just don't want to move their social life on-line.

I'm doing grand as well! But I take your point, we still use blogs for those philosophical thoughts but the social and more immediate thoughts we're taking elsewhere and so the "flavour" of blogging is changing.. And that personal "flavour" mixed with fact was one of the original factors that made blogs interesting to read. The flavour is drying out to some extent Thanks for the note Henriette.

I don't have the urge to blog at the moment - yes and it has mainly to do with facebook and twiitter - I think though that you will use the blog for deep philosophical thoughts - still it's not as interesting as it used to be, mainly because your community is on facebook =) hope you're doing well =) we're grand I agree and I don’t agree…
