Facebook

Someone asked me recently, why aren't you blogging. I only have one answer. Facebook.

Facebook satisfies the blogging impulse and entails minimal effort. For the lone freelancer with no colleagues to socialise with and only kiddie interaction to sustain her, Facebook offers a semblance of adult company. Status reports keep you connected - not just to anyone under the sun but to actual individuals you know. Facebook has the added buzz from eavesdropping - which facebookers can do legitimately, glancing at the wall-to-wall conversations between friends of friends. The beauty of Facebook is that you don't have to be alone with your voice. There is satisfying exchange. There is interaction and your writing? Well, now, your writing can be preserved for the projects that pay.

Why blog, when you can facebook? I recommend it highly and only wish I thought of it myself. Youngest millionaire in the world, indeed. He deserves it.
