I've recently used Facebook covers to show places we will soon be visiting on our upcoming trip to the Near East. The idea has been successful. In fact, it has prompted a future reunion with a family member I've not seen for over forty years! I used to feel like a weird fanatic for social networking sites. (Okay, Orkut wasn't much of a smash success, after all.) I first joined Facebook in the summer of 2006 but I think it was only open for academic members at the time. I used to beg and cajole friends to participate, but finally much of the world caught up.
I still get blank stares when I mention my accounts on Twitter, Pinterest, Flickr, and Flipboard. Yet, if you're reading this message directly via the blogger site, you can choose from the tabs which are directly under the title, my eJournal and images.
