Social Networking

As I was already a member of MySpace and LinkedIn, I chose to also join Facebook, despite my previous avoidance. My daughter, age 23, has been a member of Facebook for quite a while, and despite the fact that I felt I would be invading her privacy to some degree if I were to join, I shrugged my shoulders and joined anyway. LinkedIn is more my style--not a lot of flash, just my name and background for friends and colleagues to find me and keep up with my whereabouts.

I'm appreciative of all the networking sites; I suspect they will be found to be a valuable tool in preventing/alleviating depression (yes, that's right, I really think so!) in those who are otherwise isolated.
