It’s an overcast Good Friday here in New Jersey.
It still amazes me to this day that we have a thing called social media.
Coming out of college in 2001, I could not have imagined such a thing could have existed. I had my circle of friends and acquaintances but as I got older and people’s priorities shifted, my circle grew smaller. Add on changes in career, location, etc. I was down to only a handful of friends going into my mid thirties.
My social circle lasted a lot longer because of networks like MySpace, Friendster and other blogging platforms -and of course, Facebook. Those sites were great but what I really liked were the instant messaging applications and the blogging applications. I came to WordPress in 2013. My favorite instant messaging app was LINE but unfortunately, not a lot of people were interested in using it. I had 5 friends there and we had a blast sending each other those funny bear and bunny stickers.
Nowadays, I use X (formerly known as Twitter) as my primary source of news and other business I need to conduct. Apple’s iMessage is my texting application. I am social in an extended sense on WordPress where I can read about other people’s interesting lives.
It’s nice to have the world literally at your fingertips.
