So those of you who know me pretty well have heard me say how much I dislike Facebook. My reasons being:1. You intend to login and check one thing, and next thing ya know it's two hours later. I think it's a time waster. I believe in spending that "free" time with your family or playing with your kids or doing something productive. Maybe some of you don't have that problem, but it seems that I do.
2. I feel like it's a popularity contest on who has the "hottest" pictures, or who just had the best vacation or did the next best thing. It might just be me because I tend to be a little insecure, especially right now(post baby, haha).
Those are the only two reasons I can think of... I thought I had more. Haha. WELL... so having said that, I am a little more bothered with myself for signing up for an account last night... HA! Retarded, I know. These are my justifying reason for signing up...
1. I have started couponing, and a lot of the deals you can get involve saying you "like" something on Facebook. So I was bummed to be missing out on those deals.
2. I realized I was missing out on connecting with people from my past that I haven't seen in a very long time.
3. Also, I made a New Years Resolution to get more serious about my love for Photography. So I thought that maybe I could get some more customers by having a Facebook account.
So there you have it! You can now find me on Facebook. :)
Haha, that was too funny! I totally understand your reasons for and for not wanting to be a part of Facebook. I will look you up! I have loved finding old friends though and love that anyone can contact me anytime they need to without having to update my info every time I move.
ReplyDeleteI keep meaning to come on here and tell you too that I love your photography!! We need to chat! What kind of camera do you have? What lenses? Have you ever bought any actions from anyone? I am currently working on a Facebook photography page and a website, but both are still a work in progress....
I agree on the good and bad of facebook!!! Hope your photography kicks off!!! AND...couponing is AWESOME!!!
ReplyDeleteYay! I knew you would come around. :) But honestly I completely agree with you and your reasons but truly I never look unless I'm notified about a message or new friend...so as long as you don't get sucked in, it is wonderful and now you can talk to me more!! :)
ReplyDeleteWe find out TODAY where we are going, and I need you with me this summer, talk Aaron into it. I need friends. :)
