A friend of mine recently posted an interesting comment on Facebook. It was a remark suggesting that maybe this wasn’t the best medium to take on serious issues (such as gun control). and that pithy comments  can do more to alienate people than to foster meaningful dialogue.

I’ll be taking a look at this in future posts. This is an issue that is probably one that we are all grappling with indirectly. When I think about how many people I know – but only because of my contact with them on Facebook, I am beginning to realize that the notion of the FB post is somewhat lossy and superficial and I wonder how well I really know anyone out there in the cyber world.

What is it I am looking for; what am I selling and who is buying?
