It's about the people not the platform - Featuring Facebook Timeline

Why do I want to share all of this with the world of online strangers?? I understand using these networks as business tools and occasionally to find lost friends (though personally most I'm out of touch with was and still is a choice, lol.) I still prefer to be voice to voice and face to face. I find this new timeline to be a potential time zapper for those who will choose to write their life story instead of living it.

@melissagalt You only share your timeline with the people you choose to share it with. One of hte great things about timeline is that with each individual post you can choose to make it public or only share it with a particular list. If I am not your "friend" on Facebook and you have set something to be shared only with your friends then I won't see it.

Of course I still caution everybody to realize that anything you ever put out there can potentially be accessed!

@melissagalt Also with all of the new sharing apps coming out that are so easy to use on your smart phones, I think that this is not so much going the route of "writing" anything as it is going the route of images and video. It is getting so easy now to shoot a short video and say "hey look I'm in Disneyland.." and post that to your timeline.

You sound pretty tired, this is a great video! The FB timeline has caused so much drama, it's good to have someone like you to explain things the right way.

Key words, instead of complaining.. find a solution :)!!

@annethomas11 Yep! That's MY motto!
