This is my first blog so bare with me as I try to gather my thoughts into this.
Each day, thousands of people log onto facebook to do a variety of things that the website has to offer. I for one, don't use all of the things that facebook has to offer. I mainly check to see if there are any notifications, messages, friend requests, and comments made to things I have said. I also like to see what my friends' status say as it is sometimes very entertaining to read. Every now and then there will be an event listed to which I can go to or decline for some reason. Besides using facebook the way I currently use it for, I'm starting to realize a conundrum in the way I only use it.
Facebook is a great social networking site because it helps keep friends together even after years of not hanging out in person. However, I find myself actually never asking the majority of friends on my facebook to hangout. It almost defeats the purpose of using facebook because like I said previously, the purpose of facebook is to stay connected to friends but in order to truly do that, friends should hangout in person every now and then. Merely commenting what they say on facebook feels like a weak attempt to hold onto a friendship that is dying unless of course, you do hangout with this person every now and then.
