A nine-pound maul is great for splitting hickory logs but stinks for hanging a picture. Nor would I want to drive a wedge with a tack hammer.

Where's the Like button on this thing...Dammit. Where's the Like button on this thing?<br /><br />"The result? A resounding "meh"..."<br /><br />That's the infuriating thing about FB. It's really just, "meh" almost all the time (there are stellar exceptions). But it's a damnable addiction, once you start. It's something about that instant gratification that comes from posting just about anything, no matter how banal... and knowing that someone out there is paying attention to what you had to say. <br /><br />I like to blame it for my reduced blogging volume, but I'm not sure if it's because I exhaust myself on FB (and have nothing left for the blog), or if it's because I don't have the gumption to keep writing extended posts just for the sake of putting words in the ether... especially when I can publish two or three sentences on FB and get a dozen "Likes" within moments. <br /><br />I still refuse to do Twitter. I have no need for self-promotion, and no time for that level of self-absorption.

Now some people say that blogging is dead, but I think what has happened is that people with focused blogs who like (or need) to write are still blogging, while the ones who just want to post where they went for lunch are on FB or Instagram, etc.. Then again, some do both (cough cough Tamara Keel).Chas S.

I've avoided all such under the auspices of "I don't care what any of these people had for lunch today or what their vacation was like", but in truth I don't know anything about any of the social media and am probably afraid of it. So maybe it's not that way at all. Or...?
