"It's the (Social) Network"

A friend joined myspace today. I joined facebook. I'm really not sure why, but my wife has a facebook, so I thought I should have one too.

This whole social networking thing is a bit odd for me. Granted, millions of people all around the world are connecting in ways that seemed impossible a few years ago. It is all still a little too "out there" for me.

On an unrelated note, I began reading the "Left Behind" series this week. I know. I am probably the only person on the planet who hasn't read them... but back to my original point.

I wonder how the rapture would be seen by the world via myspace and other social networking pages. Would those that were left behind post things on their myspace page to let others know they were OK?

Of course, those left behind are not "OK" - after all, they missed the rapture.

I now see why millions of people have bought and read the books is this series. It is truly a fascinating read. I have taken a break from my nonfiction reading to delve into this series.

Note to self (and others) - Reading business and/or personal growth books at bedtime can cause insomnia. During my reading of "Good to Great" I would like awake for hours mulling over the insights I took in before turning out the light.

That's enough of my book review... who knows? I may get as popular as Oprah with these... probably not.
