CAMELOT FANTASIES

Owen, your response got lost in quotes but more importantly, I am trying to figure out if this is a genuine response from you or if this is another famous sarcasm of yours. I am serious.

It's serious.  Facebook has it's uses - i.e. I share pictures of the kids to their grandparents and aunties back in the UK, but most people seem to use it as a vehicle to drone on about how crap they feel and it's usually related to something relatively minor in the great scheme of things.  I can't say I'm much of a fan. 

I like Twitter though - get loads of news and info from that.

I don't have a FB account so I wouldn't know anything about it, really. My sister is a FB junkie and at times she does try to show me pictures posted by other friends or family members, but I very rarely show any interest. I am only interested in my brothers' families and their children, so I don't mind seeing those.

I can see though why you would want to have a FB account given that you are away from your country and the kids do need to stay in touch with the grandparents, aunties etc. but can those not be done via email as well? Just curious. You know, there was a time when we didn't have FB, Twitter etc. In fact, the Twitter stuff makes me laugh especially when you realize its birth is so recent. I remember Dmas first talked about it either in 2008 or 2009 at Tennis4You and now it has taken the world by storm. I agree though that Twitter contains a lot of current information so it can be useful in that way.
