I gave up. I surrendered. I joined Facebook.
I have managed to avoid all manner of social networking. I have never sent a text message, and studiously ignore any that I get. Don’t even get me started on Twitter.
All that may sound odd from someone who internets for a living (On a side note: I’m amusing myself this week by turning nouns into verbs whenever I can. So annoying! Anyone want to party?) but I just feel like I have to draw the line somewhere.
I just hate being instantly available to any fool who can surface my screen name or peck out my phone number. The first person who “pokes” me is going to get punched in the face.
I was steadfast. But my boss started asking me a bunch of questions about Facebook and then the writing was on the wall.
Now that I’ve finished griping, I will admit to you that parts of it are kind of fun. Anyone want to play Scramble?

It doesn’t sound odd, that you avoid social networking. I have a cell phone–well, spouse and I share one–for emergencies (read: friend had an extra phone and a lot of minutes and gave it to us). No texting. I don’t want to make that ever blurry line between Work and Life any fuzzier.
That said, I bet I end up with a blackberry or an iPhone within the year.

I agree completely about the blurry line! With rare exception, I don’t allow it. My coworkers don’t need to see the real me, for goodness sake.

I have two scrabulous games going. No poking, though.
