I do like facebook, I think it is a great concept, it's just getting time. I also find it difficult to keep my facebook profile up to date.

Worse is "noisy, I don't really know you friends." You just have to remove them.... Totally agree with the noisy friend comment.

Yes, I think you are right, there is a medium for every web user and I think Facebook will fit some people a lot better than blogs :) Ah, with you.

I guess I was trying to think about the people who don't find it quite as amazing as I do... and challenging myself to think that maybe facebook is more their thing. So the reason for me investing time there isn't for my benefit, but for the potential to connect with a different set of customers, supporters and clients For example it may be that blogging is a great medium for me because I love writing and words. Facebook on the other hand doesn't exactly leave room for self-expression... but maybe that allows some people more room to network and connect without having to struggle to find the right words?

Early days yet and I'm still not sure which ones I'll stick with and which ones I'll drop. First time I went to try Facebook I didn't like it - couldn't work out how best to use it and I worry about inadvertently sending out additional e-mail alerts to friends. However, I'm going to keep on experimenting and partly/mainly for business use - perhaps there are people on facebook who'd be interested in what I do who won't find me via my blog, or who would feel more comfortable leaving a comment or asking a question there. As someone pointed out to me blogs can seem a bit cliquey esp as it tends to be other bloggers who leave comments, make interesting points etc. Now I know there's a lot of people who have blogs - but there's also a lot who don't... so I'm going to give it a try. Having to log on and check for messages in multiple places is my main bug-bear just now though. Joanna Chris, I’m experimenting with various sites and networks as so many people swear by them.

And that's after I turned off most of their notifications. I understand the site is very popular with some prominent folks so I generally keep my frustrations with Facebook to myself.
