Thing 18

Now Facebook is something I do every day. I have my security set so only friends can see anything. I have my daughter’s senior prom picture as my cover picture and a picture of her as my picture also. I changed them shortly after her passing and have not changed them since and I will never change them to anything but another picture of her. It is just something I do to keep her in my present and it makes me feel like she is with me every step I take in my life. Facebook is great for keeping up with friends. I have three friends in Australia, two friends in Ohio, a friend in Indiana, Pennsylvania, Oregon, and Illinois that we have a constant message going that we all post on most days. We all met on the internet at a different site and quickly became friends and now 8 years later we are still friends. Until the internet and social sites like Facebook that would not have been possible.

Here is my home page from Facebook.

I have not been on Twitter since I set up my account. I am following four Fox New, Tennessee Titans, The University of Kentucky, and Austin Peay State University. I have not even sent a Tweet. I just really don’t get Twitter. To me it seems like a nosey site. I am not that interested in what everyone is doing at all times. If it is something important it will be on the news.

Facebook started at a university for students and then quickly spread to the world so, I think if every school started a website like Facebook just for their students it would be a great way for the students to collaborate with each other.  In the high school setting, juniors and seniors could help freshmen and sophomores. Teacher could organize school wide projects. Sports, art, music, and organization programs could organize fundraising. I think something like Facebook would be a positive thing for schools to look into starting.
