Meet me online

Do you have an account on one of the many social networking sites?

I missed My Space. I know it's still there and bigger than ever but I didn't jump in when it first started and never quite got around to it.

I have a profile on Facebook and love it for keeping up with friends and especially some of my younger relatives and former students from my mentor group.

I also set up a page for KitsapImages.com on Facebook and I check in almost daily. This blog is automatically updated on the Facebook profile so others keep up with me - all in one place.

LinkedIn is the site I'm finding most interesting these days. I opened an account a couple months ago and have reconnected with people I have worked with over the last 30 years going back to working in Washington DC. LinkedIn is more of a professional networking site without all the whistles and bells and games and such of My Space or Facebook.

My brother wanted us all to meet in Second Life. I have an identity there, but I haven't been back since the first couple times looking around.

This is hardly a review of the many social networking sites online and I didn't even mention the dating sites; Match.com, etc where some of my friends have found "true love" and/or had some rather entertaining experiences.

This is more a gentle reminder to people of all ages that there is a site for you out there, a way to stay in touch with friends and find some of those you have lost touch with.

There is a link to the right to my LinkedIn profile and you can easily go to Facebook and look me up. Try it - check out both of my profiles and leave me a message on those sites. You might decided to stay and create your own profile.
