I remember when Facebook was a college social networking website. It used to be only open to college students...then it expanded and expanded. Now, I know of 12 and 13 year olds that are on it!! I don't agree with that! The internet can be abused and misused, especially at such a young, difficult age!
Anyways, I had been on Facebook since 2005 when I was a freshman attending Tarleton State University. That's crazy to me! So of course...I had a good time in college and definitely lived the college life and got every bit of life's lessons while in college.
Well, now Facebook has launched a mandatory app called Timeline. Eeeeeek! Okay folks...there are things that date back to 2006 and 2007 that aren't my finest moments. I didn't want all that mess coming back to haunt me!
Yes, it's time to move on from Facebook and probably has been for a while. But, I love catching up with old friends and having a glimpse of old friend's lives.
So it came down to my profession. Do I want my employer taking a peek at my crazy college escapades...NO! So I did it. I deleted my page. I'm sure I'm not the only person out there beginning to worry.
Yahoo posted an article about the new Social Timeline and how many would probably be upset, considering it originated as a COLLEGE networking sight.
I've been meaning to devote more time to blogging...so I feel like this was the way OUT with Facebook and IN with Blogger. It kinda feels good...bittersweet anyways...
