Facebook is all the rage, but is it here to stay or just another passing fad? Recently my daughter set up a Facebook page for me to network with friends and business associates. In just a few short months I have reconnected with old high school friends, a realtor that sold me a house 17 years ago and relatives I only used to talk to once every 4 years when someone either died or got married. I am also able to see photos of their kids, vacations, and get status updates as to their day to day activities. But come on…I don’t really want to know if someone is finally catching up on 7 years of back taxes, although I am sure the IRS would be interested and I really do not want to be poked or prodded, take any ridiculous trivia quizs (particular the IQ test) and invited to join the mafia….even if my nickname is Baby Face Nelson. Kidding aside, it’s a great way to stay in touch and share ideas, hopes and dreams. Recently one of our Keller Williams associates lost a son and he received over 700 messages on facebook from those wanting to send their condolences. He was overwhelmed and touched.
