Well I did not have the whole metaphor worked out but the idea of leaving FB, and asking myself if I could leave, wondering who and what I would be leaving behind....I have tried in the past and failed yet I am really not a FB junkie. It's just nice to know I can connect with people that live far away or who I know from 30 years ago!! <br /><br />I have to spend some time thinking about this whole thing. I hate the way FB takes advantage of us as a captive audience. How dare they dictate to us how things will be?? Really? You don't care how I feel about it, FB? You're just gonna do it and minimize the impact saying "most people did not use this feature anyway?" What does that even mean? <br /><br />I just wish we could all go on strike against FB and demand our rights...I am a fairly moderate person and do not post my entire life on FB...just some pets or trips now and then and I have resisted the temptation to post personal information or engage in any kind of socio political conversations (I think these things are very personal). <br /><br />I like how many have turned their FB pages into professional pages and I try to have mainly professional content too....Thank you very much for the food for thought!<br />Sue Levinehttp://www.staffdevjnkie.net/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4128908838311784462.post-60815599083311277302013-07-04T18:25:45.067-04:002013-07-04T18:25:45.067-04:00Dear Tom,

It seems like every time I turn around, Facebook has changed something that lets out more information than what I want!

At the very least I contemplated splitting my worlds before they collided and destroyed one another. Surprisingly, after floating that idea I heard from both universes that they LIKED hearing about and seeing a glimpse into my "other" life. So... Google+ comes along at an interesting time. Can I handle one more social media connection and make it valuable to me and others? I'd love to hear more about what it took to extract yourself from the FB grasp! Thanks for a very entertaining post -- can't wait to see you in NC in October.Kelly Brannockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07963420311126618220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4128908838311784462.post-8707976665436691242011-08-03T20:32:16.201-04:002011-08-03T20:32:16.201-04:00Thank you so much for your comment, Bobbi!

So many of my family & friends are on FB I can't see leaving it and I don't have any room in my life right now for ANOTHER social network.

I still need to figure out Google+, but I like the concept of being able to differentiate categories of people I communicate with with the circles. I did give in and joined the crowd on Facebook a while back, and use that mostly for personal postings, but am still careful about what I post. I love Twitter, and use that for professional postings. I'm going to look into how I can weave Google+ and Twitter together.Jane Loftonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03220406251710676077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4128908838311784462.post-78267345975536779472011-08-02T17:36:31.776-04:002011-08-02T17:36:31.776-04:00Thanks dear Matthew! That's a great compromise...Thanks dear Matthew! That's a great compromise & I admire and respect your decision. If you must needs unfriend me on FB I'll totally understand. You are def in my Geek Tribe G+ circle, my friend. <br /><br />For myself....I've just resolved (since I'm child-free by choice) to not use ANY social networking for my social life. As an intensely busy career girl I don't have much of one anyway! LOL It's just too potentially sticky. I don't allow myself to be photographed sipping champagne (or any kind of adult beverage) singing Karaoke カラオケ, or dancing the Can Can! <br /><br />Frankly, I think cameras & smart phones should be banned at all teacher parties - too easy for people to look unprofessional & risk their careers. What happens outside school - should stay outside school. But that's me. I'm draconian! ;-) So my friends when we're hanging out & you whip out your camera don't be surprised when I put up my hand Paparazzi style, or dive under the table or behind a potted plant!

I said it... HERE is the love, MWA ha!)<br /><br />I recently struggled with the same professional/personal collision in which I responded by pushing back hard on FB. Colleagues pressuring me to friend them, asking why I didn't when we met face to face. This is all a little too weird. There's absolutely no reason for the privacy issues faced weekly with FB or the ignorance its users demonstrate toward the privacy of others (family... please read between the lines!).<br /><br />I've resolved to maintain an FB profile so that family/friends can watch my little one grow up. I've embraced Google+ for the power professional connector that it is and I'm loving all of the ways my colleagues are sharing such great content through G+. (That includes you, my dear). <br /><br />Thanks for keeping it real.<br /><br />- MatthewMatthew C.
