I've told friends I'd nevah do it.
I've posted on WWD! saying I'd nevah do it.
And like a true lolo....... I've gone and done it.
*standing up with my head down* Hi, my name is (Braddah) Lance... and I'm on Facebook.
I don't know if that's a good thing or not - yet -Â but I've signed up and it's a wait and see game now. My friends have always been on social networks and wen MySpace came out they were all like, "you gotta get a MySpace page."
Uh, no thanks.
Now dat MySpace is a considered "unsafe" to an extent (*see, told you so!*), FaceBook (FB) has become the site of choice and you could say FB has found a niche on networking where it could be better controlled and more suited for adults who truly want to just keep in touch.
I kept saying it was a cult and the more and more I heard my friends and others saying (even tita leerz said she's on FB from her last post) you gotta get on FaceBook the more I was reluctant to do so..... untill my friend said he just signed up and I told him I'd check out his "page".
Once I searched and found him on FB, I couldn't get into his page.... I had to be his "friend" first.
Hold up.... I'm already his friend! His real life friend!!
Wassap Wit Dat!
Then I understood why FaceBook was touted as being more "secure" because you could control who you want seeing your "personal" life. While at first glance, the site does display pictures, it's just your profile pic dat the host chose and it's also to help recogmanotice who've you searched for. It's helpful in the fact that you wouldn't want to mistakenly ask a complete stranger with da same name to be your friend.
Also if you see the "friends list" you can kinda connect da dots and figgah out dat dat's da person you was looking for. You could, even for nostalgic sake, find a long time friend you haven't seen since hana-battah dayz. Capiché?
Then I started to get a few "ask to be friends" invites - assuming dat they saw my name on our mutual friends page - and noticed dat FaceBook is pretty cleaver in that wen you do something/anything it posts straight on top so that anybody visiting your page would see who you recently added as friends and thus begins da networking game since you may see someone you've nevah seen in choke long time and noticed dat they're on now.
I've "determined" dat FB is actually an open "blog" of sorts between friends. A real open blog. You got some dat share every waking moment online and you got oddahs, like me, who just kinda chill and no even update their "page". I barely have enough time to keep up with WWD!
Although WWD! is an open blog between..... who knows?
Well, I've gotten to know some of you so we're not "strangers" anymore.
Then I got an "invite" from a friend I haven't seen since high school and I remembah spending nights sitting on da curb talking to her while my friend was trying to mack with her friend - or was it her, or was it both? - but being da dutiful wingman dat I was, I was there in full support.
Wats even more surprising, she says she reads WWD! all da time even though she now lives in da mainland!
But den I thought, how come she no post? I have no frickin' idea but just hearing dat she reads all da time - supposedly - kinda lifted my spirits about WWD! but posed a question in my spinning coconut shell.... while I may not know who reads and who posts..... how many people are out there that I DO know, dat read WWD! ? Cause I know for surah dat they aren't posting.
So I'm posing this experiment. If you're in FaceBook, let's be "friends". Shoot me an invite (Braddah Lance Kwon - for da blog or Hyung Lance Kwon - personal)Â and I'll gladly accept either or both.
Plus I like see how much people like come out if not on WWD!, but on FB. I jus' curious to see how many peeps stay reading cause our site doesn't keep track (or at least I'm not told about it unlike some ODDah blogs) - even if only get 27 people.
If you put in a note of "WWD!" in your "invite" I'll know dat you're from Da WWD! Hui and it be cool to put a face to da name..... and no worries, I not going share stuff between FB and WWD!.
Dat falls undah da WWD!/Kwonics/Lanceformers/Lurkahs confidentiality clause.
