And I am enjoying facebook, although I am still exercising a degree of discretion as to what i follow up.<BR/><BR/>Emails are imperfect, in part because of their immediacy. It is just too easy to write and then hit send. As I have found to my cost.Jim Belshawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10075614280789984767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24338064.post-76743255169142054522007-10-29T17:51:00.000+11:002007-10-29T17:51:00.000+11:00Hi Jim,I'm actually really enjoying having my pare...Hi Jim,<BR/><BR/>I'm actually really enjoying having my parents on there and being able to share photos, given that we live on the opposite side of the world to one another.<BR/><BR/>What does bother me is how nuance is often lost in email communication. An innocent comment from one party can be taken completely the wrong way by another!Korenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10494206636888879860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24338064.post-1029190745947583692007-10-25T18:28:00.000+10:002007-10-25T18:28:00.000+10:00BC, that was a quite inadequate response on my par...BC, that was a quite inadequate response on my part. I was rushing because I had just got back from the airport after picking Dee up.<BR/><BR/>Your comment re your parents. In reverse, I was flattered that my girls nominated me as friends. Really very open of them. Then, I thought, won't I cramp their style?<BR/><BR/>In the end, it was access to their photo collections that was the key. I don't have a camera, I will buy one at some point, so I have been downloading and saving. But I also get lots of material for my own blog posts.Jim Belshawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10075614280789984767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24338064.post-61002026887567176062007-10-25T17:58:00.000+10:002007-10-25T17:58:00.000+10:00Hi BC.Yes, I am sure that there will be studies.

My parents, who live in the US, have joined as well and are now listed as 'my friends'. <BR/><BR/>It's a great way for us to show photos and the like, but it did give me some pause - did I want my parents to see what some of my friends would write/were up to/implied? For that matter, did I want people whom I've not spoken to in years knowing my marital status, place of employment, weekday activities?<BR/><BR/>I've a feeling there'll be many sociological studies devoted to Facebook and the like...Korenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10494206636888879860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24338064.post-70407096802037218902007-10-24T13:42:00.000+10:002007-10-24T13:42:00.000+10:00Lexcen, I fear that I am into baggy pants.
