I think in the end it's a generational thing. I continue to be convinced that FB is, for the most part, a colossal waste of time. But this generation seems to have grown up with an attachment to this kind of wholly mundane exchange of information via the internet. Call me old fashioned. I'd rather meet my friends in the pub for a drink than tweet or FB with them.
The stijners and facebookers have a lot in common. I definitely think that they would not share beer at my table unless I paid for it. Definitely a younger crowd. More hip than I am. Sometimes it takes a comment like mine to draw them out of their men caves. I have baited the hook. We will see what happens!
