I am on Facebook but use it only for two reasons, reconnecting with long lost friends and promoting my music. Many of the social aspects and game nonsense turn me off bigtime. But, as I said, it's a tool.

I can also say that it is NOT for kids. Some kids are on there but mostly, it's an adult thing, by far. Read the FB story to be amazed... it's insane how fast it grew. Of course, in five years, it might be something else that's hot. But some reports I have read state that FB is the big dog, that it will become ubiquitous as Google. And that is a tall statement. For pro musicians, you pretty much cannot ignore this if revenue is a motive.

I'll consider joining SZ group.

You kill me Donny....lol you don't even chat anymore you respond to everything with either a Youtube link or a picture.

Too funny...

Thanks for the update Steve...I always wonder about the good guys that don't come here and participate any longer. It's a shame really. I know he did not like all the discourse

When are you coming down to Tampa for a visit? When it get's in the 20 degree range in CT/NY? lol

I have it... use it to keep friends, family and fans (yes I have a few) informed. Facebook seems to have replaced MySpace in the site du jour.

Scott makes another good point about privacy issues... the other thing that concerns me is that if you ready the user agreement... EVERYTHING that is posted there becomes FACEBOOK property?! So if I post an original song... ?!?

I use Facebook. Ditto SemiLiveMusic's sentiments.
Ciao,
Jerry

Al, looks like it will be sometime in May. We usually spend 7 nights at a home on Marco Island. Unfortuantely our plans to move to Ocala have been put on hold at least for the immediate future. Long story....... !

Fakebook is for suckers and for those whom have no problem with giving up all their personal/private info unto a unknown entity who can do whatever it pleases at a time down the road when all suddenly find themselves in very inconvienant circumstances..sure right now i 'seem' to appear to be the paranoid one with the tin foil hat,let's just see what's in store with the element of passed time. I wonder what fakebook will do when it is no longer a hot site with all that data of yesteryear.
