Digital Memories
I’m the worst when it comes to maintaining relationships. There may be only one thing that I do worse- deal with photos.
Lately I’ve found a way to take care of both- Facebook. I’ve met people on Facebook I haven’t seen in decades. I’ve starting singing with a bunch of my friends from High School (many of whom went into the Arts) and just got note from my old college RA. I started out just looking for a new way to connect with podcasters. I ended up resurecting the life I had ignored into submission.
What I’m loving most about Facebook is the Photo application. I can send my own photos there to share them. That’s very cool. The best part is not only can I see the photos I load but if they tag me, I can find other peoples photos of me.
Finally, a way to abdicate authority for my photos. I don’t have to put them in albums- just upload. I don’t have to find the pictures in my drawers- I just have to wait fir a friend to upload their photo and then tag them- they show up on MY page.
If that’s not a great reason to use Facebook, I don’t know of a better one.
