Comments on: Facebook, the new long-distance phone line http://joe.definitelynotsafe.com/facebook-the-new-long-distance-phone-line Missing the point since 1986 Tue, 13 Sep 2011 18:05:43 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.1 hourly 1 By: Jess http://joe.definitelynotsafe.com/facebook-the-new-long-distance-phone-line/comment-page-1#comment-1023 Jess Thu, 25 Sep 2008 08:51:48 +0000 http://joe.definitelynotsafe.com/?p=271#comment-1023 While my parents have not progressed to having a facebook account (thank god, and I hope they never will), a few members of my extended family (mostly those that work with young'uns like us) have facebooks. It gets slightly awkward. I worry a little more what I'm actually putting up as my status. I mean, it's mostly my father's side (the side that doesn't have a grapevine of communication that relays information in about a week to all members of the family) but it's still so weird! ...which is yet another reason why I limit what gets published in the newsfeed. And hooray for untagging things. >_>; I mean, I almost have to censor it (essentially) as much as I would if I were concerned about companies looking at my facebook for job apps. My parents text though. It's also kinda weird. Also seeing my mom on gtalk is very weird. But not as weird as seeing my dad text with chat speak. *shudder* It makes me want to cry a little inside every time he does that.

They get ahold of me for family gatherings and stuff using it occasionally. That and txting, my whole freaking extended family txts. My uncles txt more than I do even...
