I have to admit it. It usually takes me a while to go with the flow. Whether it is a new electronic gadget, a new restaurant, or whatever, I am definitely not the first person out of the gate to try it. However, I'm not the last person either. I do use email, have a blog, etc., which proves I am not in the dark ages. This week I finally gave in to one of the latest crazes (okay, I don't know how recent it is, but it seems that way to me).
After being invited to be "friends" by numerous people, I capitulated and created a Facebook page. For those of you who are even more behind the times than I, a Facebook page is a way to reconnect with old friends and to communicate with new and current friends. You can leave messages for one another, chat with them on line, post photos and a million other things of which I am not even aware.
You hip cats out there might ask: why did you take so long to join? Well, I guess I am wary of anything that is so attractive to people who are younger than twenty. Also, quite frankly, I don't have a lot of time to devote to something like this. However, I now see the value of Facebook. It is a great way to network with people, and that's important in the business world. Actually, it is a lot of fun, too.
So, if you haven't joined the latest craze, get on board. And, after creating your Facebook page, check out the Bowling Green Chamber Orchestra's group page (just like a normal page, but for people who have similar interests).
