Riding that Facebook Wave…

12107988_1009079559137380_2294139988959761357_nWell, “The Homeless Guy” closed up shop and is now exclusively posting only to his newest Facebook page:  https://www.facebook.com/thehomelessguy.  He didn’t announce this – he just quietly closed his blogs and went about his business losing some 30,000 hits a month. His Facebook page is pretty quiet and maybe that’s how he wants it to be.

He is pretty right about blogs being dead and that Facebook is the wave of the future.  I feel like an old dinosaur still hanging onto my old blogging roots.  What is so appealing about Facebook is that you get instant gratification when you post something and have a modicum of friends. It is blogging for the “twitch crowd” as I call it. Eyes glaze over when you post more than just a few sentences, though.

Nearly every post on FB is a share of something the poster has found elsewhere. Seems they don't have a life of their own and have to rely on external stuff to post. Much prefer blogs, like yours, where the individual posts his/her own stuff.
