And I owe it all to Facebook.
Yes, after Eric McCool created a Season of Concern fan page on Facebook and then created an "event" to help us secure volunteers for tomorrow's mailing, I understood why people like Facebook. How helpful it can be to promote events or an organization's needs.
Now, I'm not in love with it yet, but I am getting there. I changed my profile picture on Facebook yesterday. And I even wrote a status message.
This of course means that, if you love Facebook, you should be frightened and if you dislike Facebook, you should be elated.
Because by the time I fully become a part of a social movement or trend, that trend's days are numbered.
I have a long history of this - - from 8-track tapes to Betamax, from parachute pants to Z Cavaricci's...
Headbands... Leg warmers... Hell, I didn't even listen to Olivia Newton-John with any regularity until she released Twist of Fate for God's sake...
I don't follow fads, I finish them.
That said, how much will you pay me to join Twitter?

You should join Twitter, your one liners would be highly amusing.
i have to admit that i saw your status update and i got nervous...
I resisted FB for quite a while too, but finally 'saw the light' and realized what you did: how easy it is to stay connected with friends and promote events. I'll look for you!
Honey, if your superpower truly includes being able to kill a fad, then to Hell with Twitter: let's get you watching Fox News.
Oh, twitter is just a matter of time now. "I'll bide my time, my pretty..."
Hey Bro (from different parents),
I just started getting into FB. Kinda fun. We need to link up. That being said, I LOLed when I saw ONJ. I had to do a little work, (VERY LITTLE WORK) to the photo and had to post it. Come visit Scootersville. :)

Ps. I twittered (or is that twutted) for a week, drove me nuts and I quit. Even with my ADD and OCD, I just couldn't do it!
