I recently found out a bunch of little helpful things about Facebook…like how if you unfriend someone, they are notified. (You don't show up in their friends and they don't show up in yours, of course, but if they aren't *looking* they won't know it.)

You can also "hide" either people or applications. The people you hide are still in your list of friends and you can go to their wall or send them messages anytime you want, but you won't see, for instance, the off-color comments they post on their wall. You can also hide applications…like if you aren't into Farmville or whatever, you don't have to see everyone's goings on with that app. This has made FB sooooo much more enjoyable for me! [You've probably already seen how to "Hide," but just in case, you hover over the post and click the "Hide" box on the right. Then you are given the option of hiding the person, hiding the app (if it is one), or canceling.]

Best wishes on the move to WP!

Hi, Angie! I think a really interesting post would be to share how you are using your iPod Touch as a PDA. My teen daughter has one and LOVES it. I seriously thought about getting one just so I could poke Carl in the eye on a regular basis but couldn't justify it. But my birthday is coming up…and if I could actually USE it for practical purposes as well (besides listening to music etc.)…BTW, if you don't know who Talking Carl is, you must purchase the app – he's just too much fun.

The whole "friend" thing on FB is one reason I don't want to do it. I think I care WAY too much what people think…even what I "perceive" they think.

Good luck w/ your move to WP!

(ps-I cracked up over Conan b/c of the post you wrote a while back about him )

I unfriended a BUNCH of people on FB a couple of weeks ago and I actually *enjoy* FB now. I can stop by and catch with on people that I actually enjoy catching up with. I went from hating FB to enjoying it enough to visit most every day.

I went with the iPod Touch because I missed my PDA! I have two electronic calendars going right now – Franklin Covey and Google and this morning I decided that it was time to ditch the FC. I just have to figure out how to make Google work better for me. I use the FC for computer tasks like doing stuff for our finances. But, it's a project that will have to wait until I'm finished getting the vegetable garden ready for planting.

I seriously just unfriended a bunch of people today! Only because I never see them or communicate with them, even on FB. I don't feel bad at all! I put on my status update what I was doing and "if you're still my friend, you should feel special." Lol.
