Recently a friend running for public office confided that people were friending her on Facebook rather than liking her campaign page. “Not to worry”, I told her, “You are still reaching them from your personal page. Make sure to provide updates they have permission to see.” Today Facebook added the Subscribe button and she might not even need a campaign page. If you want people to be able to Subscribe to your public posts on Facebook, then [...] With Father’s Day on Sunday, I couldn’t stop thinking about my dad who died 23 years ago. In particular, I found myself thinking about his business, Community Service Station. His father had named the business “Community” and for decades it proved to be an extension of their friendships and involvement in our township. While helping businesses and organizations through my newly-founded company, Online and In Person, LLC, I often talk about creating an online community to [...]
Photo from ParMieux Adventures Three years ago the Silver Spring Zombie Walk was started by a few local bloggers who decided to invite the readers to show up as zombies. Since I wanted to see the turnout inspired by these blogs and I always enjoy a fun time, my husband and I doned some white powder and makeup and ventured back to our old Silver Spring neighborhood.

I blurted out a short description which had them laughing, “I didn’t need the Lane Bryant coupon and I’m not a lesbian.” “That’s not what you said on Facebook, but I have a much better picture now.” “Yeah,” I responded, “Lately I’ve been wishing I had a Secret Cindy account so I could be myself.” Over the past couple of years [...] Friends keep asking social etiquette questions about Facebook. For the most part, the interactions are unchartered. Although I advise the same good common sense as in real life, I’m now struggling with my own situation and how it will spill over. I’m not by any means a public figure in my city but because of a local community blog, people know me. A city staff member once wrote, “We haven’t met (and I’d like to remedy [...] One local fellow wrote that he was glad we are “friends” on facebook.com. We have met at public meetings and I would talk to him, but it is very true that we are not friends in real life. Since his profiIe was up on facebook, I sent a friend request. In “fake life” we are now “friends”. What kind of friends are these people? I see references to “online friends” and “cyber friends”. There are poems [...] Today I discovered a myspace account. It belongs to a friend who is married with a kid. It states that he is Single and a Leo. He used a different name “Hugh” but the correct hometown. I don’t think he’s THAT much younger than me but let’s not quibble about that claim. There’s no picture. For those women out there who have myspace accounts, you may know about the propositions. Often they are from men without [...] |
