This post is for those of my friends and colleagues who are on Facebook most of the time — it’s my virtual lone intervention. I’m not talking about those of you who use it a couple times a week, or even once a day: I’m addressing those of you who keep it open at all times in your workspace (and playspace), updating what’s going on in your life minute-by-minute and using Facebook exclusively in lieu of actual conversation / encounters with friends and loved ones.
Read this 2/6/2012 post please: “Facebook With Care: Social Networking Site Can Hurt Self-Esteem,” by Stephanie Pappas at the LiveScience site. There’s some pretty interesting information about the psychological implications of Facebook use. I’m not suggesting (and neither is the article) that Facebook itself is bad for you, just that one’s use of it should be judicious.
Why not forego this minute’s status update and read this Forbes post instead?: “Facebook’s IPO . . . Like?” My interest in Facebook is suddenly keener.
More as it happens,
Cheryl
