It's not only the first time it has happened to me but is it normal to see that your grown up children are suddenly far away( like overseas) without telling you? And you only find out when they post it in Facebook? It kinda hurts...
I so agree with you on that. I do have actual friends on facebook, some that I know in person, and some that I have been communicating with for nearly 20 years via computer...and of those, I feel comfortable saying that they have shown the same "face" over time...a lot of time. I prefer Twitter's terminology...you have "followers" rather than "friends." A bit more accurate. However, I don't tweet. It just seems...no one can possibly be that interested in my minute to minute life.
I hear people brag about how many 'friends' they have on facebook. I just don't get calling someone that you have never met, that you only know as a computer persona, a 'friend'. Someone can be whoever they want to be on the computer.
