Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for October 08, 2012

Facebook has its drawbacks, no doubt about it. But I have to say my experience has been very positive…I’ve reconnected with dozens of old friends from my past thanks to facebook, in Spain especially, where I lived as a teen, 30 years ago. I keep contact with faraway family members too (yes, I DO call them on the phone and even go to see them once in a while). The trick is to keep few friends on facebook (I’ve never had more than 50) and to be careful what you post. If you have something personal to say, email it or call the person…don’t post it! But I can honestly say that none of my friends are fake, or pretend, and I can also say that they DO care about me…
