Like a lot of folks who’ve been around for quite some time, I’ve had several different lives, each with its own group of friends. Many were lost to me over the years, but Facebook has renewed a lot of friendships and put me in touch with people whom I was happy to reach out to again. Yeah, there have been some clunkers as well, but it’s easy enough to end bad relationships on Facebook. And since I’m in the communication biz, I need it for work as well. A lot of my clients and potential clients use Facebook for marketing and communication. All good things, but I’ll have to give some thought to this Pentax group. Not sure I want to go there. I get my fill of photography on the list, and I do currently have some photographer friends on Facebook. 1200 more? Hmmm.
