Facebook | Joe Philipson
If you look to the left under my blog roll you’ll notice that I put a spot for my facebook account. Facebook is a ‘social networking’ site. It keeps people in touch and help people communicate and stay close. No, this is not myspace.com I hate ‘my space’ and I actually was very hesitant to even go to this site much less set up an account. It is really clean and very secure. You can’t communicate with people unless you know them. Unlike ‘my space’ it is very classy and neat and does not allow you to customize your page in any way. It really acts more like a yellow pages of the world but does allow you to send messages and keep people up to date with where you are and what you’re doing.
If you do end up setting up an account by all means add me as a friend, I would love to get to know each and every one of my readers.
