Facebook: Not just for young'uns anymore
Fine. I’d figure it out on my own.
It’s not like I’m stupid (not a word from any of you).
I learned to reset my password, then quickly “confirmed” my new friends by clicking some buttons.
Done with that, I looked around my homepage, trying to figure out the purpose of this social networking business.
That’s when I was poked.
I kid you not.
Someone I did not know just up and poked me.
I didn’t even know that was legal. If I’m going to be poked, I’d like to know who’s doing the poking and a little warning might be nice.
I was beginning to rethink going public when someone messaged me she had written on my wall.
Of all the nerve! A quick look around my living room, though, told me all was well. My walls were clean.
So, seeing’s how I’m not stupid, I began to figure out that poking and wall writing are things that occur on a regular basis on Facebook and, get this, they are all VIRTUAL.
Yep. You can even send a virtual “gift” of a $1 graphic sold by the Facebook people, who, I think, are themselves virtual.
Look, I can’t afford a real gift, much less one that’s not even there. My new friends will have to settle for being poked.
And then I discovered that people on Facebook just loves them some quizzes.
One of my new friends discovered if she were a color she would be yellow, which means she is outgoing and fun.
