Social Networking

Since I was lucky enough to be in college and grad school during the beginning hype of Facebook I'm quite familiar with the site and unfortunately a bit of an addict. However, I'm trying to ween myself off a bit. I've also tried Myspace and found Facebook to be more user friendly, so haven't given much attention to the Myspace account. To try something new for this task, I decided to join bakespace.com - what a fun site! The emphasis is on baking and cooking, sharing recipes, and food mentors! I haven't had too much time to really engage in it yet, but I can see this as being a great place to learn new things in the future.

As for chatting softwares, I've been an avid user of AOL Instant Messenger since I was in highschool (way back when...ha!). Since moving away from my friends and family in Ohio, it has been a great way to keep in contact with loved ones on a daily basis.

I don't have too much interest in Twitter, because I already feel bogged down with all types of social networking devices and I know that I easily become obsessive in checking for updates - I think refraining from Twitter is a good personal choice ;0) Although, I have snooped around the site a bit and checked out people's Twitters.
