Facebook-ers Unite!16 Aug
The Internet is a fun (but scary) place isn’t it?
Anyone can just google your name and find out what you’ve been up to, which restaurant you’ve just eaten at, who are your best friends, what kind of blog writer you are – and all this thanks to Facebook!
No one’s to blame for all this personal information out there. There is an undeniable a tinge of narcissism in all of us that delights in exhibiting ourselves & telling others how fantastic our lives are!
If you don’t believe me, let me just ask you this: What’s on your current profile picture? (I’m guessing it’s a fantabulous picture of yourself!)
There’s nothing wrong though – all of us are doing it anyway, hur hur!
I especially love reading peoples’ statuses. It’s so mish-meshed & personal that sometimes I cannot help but to read every one of them before erm, moving on to other serious stuff.
Also, one of the best features I feel, is the Events Pages. I mean, come on, aren’t you glad that you have so many options & places to go to every weekend? & not to mention the people you get to know who share the same interests as you! Building communities & cliques are easy too.
Especially for us planners! If you need people to come to your event – just invite! Need other sidekicks to help you out - send a message! If you need to tell others about what your event will have – share a picture! 
This is extremely useful for us tech-savvy people who are on the Net 24-7. Recently, even teachers have sought out Facebook to reconnect with their students. Which is so cool – I wished I had that when I was schooling!
Today, what I really love about Facebook is – we can get on the spot YOG updates! From everyone! If your friends are volunteers, then you’ll get their perspectives! If you have friends who are teachers, then you get to see live updates of what’s going on behind the scenes!
If you’re in the Singapore Youth Olympic Games 2010 Page, then you’ll get live updates of what games are starting & what else is happening around town for YOG! Super Exciting!
Hey, it’s not everyday that this little red dot is suddenly open to worldwide attention & it’s not everyday that there’s so many things happening during these 2 weeks! More fun for us!
& of course, if you want to find out what else is happening for YOG, you definitely know where you can go!
On that note, here’s to more live updates, great profile pictures, Fab Facebook moments and re-connecting with more faces!
Happy Monday!
