I joined the dark side.

That thing could eat up the entire rest of my life. Fortunately, I tend to lose interest in between clicking on something and seeing the results.* This allows me to continue to do homework.

Now I think I need the basic two-minute tutorial. Rob's been over the initial setup with me, which is good, or my e-mail inbox would be dead. But I don't really know how to use anything yet.

- When somebody does a "wall-to-wall" at you, how do you reply to their comment?
- What in blazes do you do with "gifts" (not!) of "things" (virtual) that want you to enable some app and donate even more of your time? Is ignoring these considered rude?
- When someone you do not recognize at all asks to friend you, what is the socially acceptable way to say "I haven't the foggiest who you are"?

I don't even get emails for the application requests. I stopped them. I get emailed if someone friends me, or someone wants me to come to an event or a group. Otherwise, nope, not a peep. I have to remember to go through and officially "ignore" a bunch of stuffs.

And I'm on there, if you want to friend me. I don't do much there, save um, occasionally remember to upload pics. Go on, giggle a the pics of me (and thus my parents) from 30+ years ago...

Have I friended him yet? I've got Miles on mine! Glen's on there but I don't know if I've got him added yet. I've got Glen/Jeff/Dan on twitter but Jeff and Dan never say a word...

Why haven't I used that feature yet? *goes off to do Just That*
