My hubby is on Face Book and I have no idea if he has posted our blog site there or not. I don't go around telling people about it but it is there if they happen upon it. Nothing I'm ashamed of on it - but it is a nice safe place to do whatever we want without worrying what those we love think, etc. Speaking of blogs, we have given you an award today - so come on <A HREF="http://thebumblesblog.blogspot.com/2009/01/on-fun-now-featuring-lemonade.html" REL="nofollow">over</A> to pick it up.The Bumbleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08334162339045336577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14131376.post-41584781974748240452009-01-26T12:12:00.000+11:002009-01-26T12:12:00.000+11:00I'm battling the FB addiction, and asking those qu...I'm battling the FB addiction, and asking those questions, too. *some* of my family have my blog address, but I don't know that many have ever read much of it. I DO have my blog address on my FB page, but again, there's not much overlap...people on FB just don't take the time to check out blogs that much...at least in my realm of FB friends (how DID I get up to 357 so quickly there?!?). <BR/><BR/>I think the questions you've asked are good ones, and I can't even answer them for myself yet...good luck figuring it all out!!Laura Paxtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17140330952926169201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14131376.post-29616510536992438012009-01-25T22:42:00.000+11:002009-01-25T22:42:00.000+11:00Ah, summer, that's still so far away for us in the...Ah, summer, that's still so far away for us in the Northern Hemisphere...<BR/><BR/>And for Facebook - I guess I'm still in what you described as your early stage - I usually forget to check it... but yes, I keep that and my (anonymous) blog completely separate.<BR/><BR/>*ICLW#39*lostintranslationhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01028460277488788467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14131376.post-68334183293826067152009-01-25T14:33:00.000+11:002009-01-25T14:33:00.000+11:00So funny.

All are connected, FB, Myspace, blog etc. I didn't set out with that intention, but it all connects up. <BR/><BR/>I generally add anyone I know on FB. I am not sure where to draw lines. I am an inclusive person and I just don't believe anything online is a private space... which makes me inhibited all the time... it's a struggle for me to make a strong statement. Which is probably why my blog is so boring! I start off with a strong opinion and then the voices kick in... what if a student reads this... what if a parent reads this... what if my aunty/daughter/son/mum/friend/lady up the road... ah the dilema! :-)<BR/><BR/>Trying to model this to the kids at school though... they have no desire,skill or ability to remain anon, so have to teach them how to reveal selectively, while I am learning.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14131376.post-18511650686502657052009-01-24T09:57:00.000+11:002009-01-24T09:57:00.000+11:00Facebook is addictive lol - I do mis the two becau...Facebook is addictive lol - I do mis the two because I figure so many of my friends know about my blog anyway, and besides it is "public" in the sense that it is on the web, and anyone could virtually stumble across it!<BR/><BR/>would LOVE to have a secret blog that I could use to vent, but like you said, who would read it? wouldn't be able to tell anyone about it! and imagine the repercussions if it were ever discovered!!Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12100344594099646839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14131376.post-63676444182625429662009-01-24T09:09:00.000+11:002009-01-24T09:09:00.000+11:00Well, being part of each other's overlap, I think ...Well, being part of each other's overlap, I think you know I know exactly what you mean! (LOL...know what I mean?)<BR/><BR/>You're my only blogging "friend" on FB (so far). I don't choose to promote my blog on FB, and only a few of my off-line friends and family know I have a blog (and I don't know if any of them actually read it....they don't comment). Even so, I maintain a level of discretion on my blog (AND on FB, AND on my personal life). <BR/><BR/>I think my deepest darkest thoughts only by myself, or with a trusted person when I need to vent. <BR/><BR/>If I DO choose to vent online, it is usually through the medium of IM or chat, which is not public - I'm sure some tech-head is going to tell me how it is stored somewhere and accessible by...blah blah, but for now I feel that is the "safest" and most discreet method to maintain my privacy.<BR/><BR/>One of the many lessons I learned out of the last few years is the importance of being myself. FB, blog, real life etc are all ME, but represent different aspects of myself - eg. FB is fun, often a bit shallow and flippant, but almost always playful, whereas the blog tends to be more introspective, thoughtful, musing. So, the blog is not something I would want or expect casual acquaintances to read (though I'm okay with total strangers reading it...hmmm, still getting my head around that...lol!)ruddygoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15869876730239753027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14131376.post-50441118368946116072009-01-24T05:43:00.000+11:002009-01-24T05:43:00.000+11:00My blog is anonymous.

My blog is my place to be myself and not worry about judgement from the people that I actually see face to face.

I know I don't want to share my blog with my FB friends - bar a few of course... My blog is more 'my' private space which is who I really am - it is not something I wish to share with people I went to High School with! And somehow, I think I regard a lot of my blog friends more highly than my FB friends.Melodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05681227038111050561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14131376.post-71077643125615868452009-01-24T01:54:00.000+11:002009-01-24T01:54:00.000+11:00Well, these can be tricky questions.

I do have a facebook account to, but I have only friended folks I know in real life since I post pictures of my daughter on there.
