Quick Thought, Super Challenge

Geez, I go away for two weeks and EVERYTHING HAPPENS while I'm away. Crickey ...

But before we get back to things, here's another episode of:

Facebook Sure Has Quirky Things That Sometimes Happen On It, Man


Before he was led away to be crucified, Jesus Christ told his disciples, "You will each deny me on Facebook three times." They said that they wouldn't but they ended up doing so (yet each and every one of them had added Pontius Pilot as a 'friend'). It's all in the Bible; look it up. I think it's in Ezekialias 11:38.

But that's not what this post is about, this is about the 'Facebooking Standoff'. That's when neither you nor another acquaintance -- typically people you sort of knew years ago in another life -- will add one another to your friends list even though you've added freakin' Rick Mercer and Giante Envelopz and someone who accidentally added you because they were confused and thought you were someone else.

Do you encounter that? Is there a long list of people you feel like you should add but just can't get motivated to push the damn button? And if they can't get motivated, why should you? In theory, you shouldn't care but in practice, not having those links could keep you from making a valuable connection in the future.

So here's what I'm going to do, I'm going to issue a challenge to all of you (even thought I doubt that the last two readers, Maria & Eva, are even here anymore). Here's the challenge for you: add one of those borderline people to your friend list and then write on their wall: OMG, I MISSED YOU SO MUCH! Make sure it's in all caps. If three people can demonstrate that they've done this, I'll do the same.

God bless us, every one.
