Facebook is a wonderful thing, don’t ya think? It has allowed most of us average, everyday people to connect around the world with people we’ve lost touch with, admired from afar, and with whom we may or may not be related.
Since being on Facebook, I’ve found there are many ways to “connect”. You can make someone your friend (with their approval, of course) with a simple click of the mouse. You may find, via this “friend”, that THEY have friends you may know. In turn, that person can now become YOUR friend. You can peek at the friends of others and longingly gaze at how many friends your friend has and wonder why they, too, are not your friend.
Friends, friends everywhere! How exciting is that? Reach out and (virtually) touch has a new meaning. It’s so simple to collect friends!
Facebook also has business pages, where you can “like” (the old thumbs up) a business and thus become a form of advertisement for said business. I think it’s a very clever marketing idea for small businesses. A lot of large, big name businesses have pages, also. Some of these businesses try to entice a following by offering a little something in exchange for your upwardly pointing thumb.
Facebook also has some cool games, and if you’re lucky enough to not be worried about your “download/upload” percentages because of having satellite internet access, you can play those games, accumulate MORE friends, get cool prizes, etc. You can take weird quizzes about everything from your eye color to one that tells you who you were in a past life.
Celebrities have pages, too, and you can become a fan of just about any celebrity in the world. When you become a fan, you can “invite” others with whom you may be friends to become a fan of your favorite celebrity, too!
So, to the daddy of Selena Gomez … when you look at your daughter’s Facebook fan page and see that my 50-year old husband is a fan of your little girl, please understand this man has a little girl of his own who is a huge fan of your little girl and invited her daddy to become a fan, too, and - probably much like yourself - he just couldn’t say “no”.
