observations

still been thinking about the ways we connect these days. obviously, i still love the blog format. i still LOVE the conversations that happen!! for instance - yesterday when ellen made her great comment about the muslim post, i absolutely had forgotten she was reading. it was so neat to see God had connected us through the missionaries i had mentioned!

it's the connection part. for me, blogging does that. i wonder how long i would blog - REALLY - if none of you commented? perhaps for awhile, but i bet it would dwindle considerably. don't you think?


then there is facebook, which i am a little warmer about than in the beginning, but which is a little frightening to me. have you noticed how the "suggestions" are getting a little more detailed? look at the top guy - i KNOW we have mutual friends! i KNOW who he is! crazy! also, i was a little sad to see kirsten's hubby's status. i know him, too, he seems fine with the amount of friends he has. :)

anyway, i still see this as a series of half-a**ed conversations. i do go on there daily, and comment quite abit, even offered to mentor a guy in mpls that is needing some design friends, last night. but not real live connection for me, somehow.


and of course there is twitter. i'm not trying to pick on the "dude" in this picture - too much - i hear he is a wonderful marketing person here in sf. however, the point of twitter is supposed to be that it's 140 words. quick read. don't you think this guy abused the whole point of the medium just a TINY bit? sheesh! there were at least 25 posts in a row from him when i last checked...come on! write a blog post and stop clogging the system, dude! see. not my form of connection at all. but we do get to pick and choose.

i choose you guys :)
