Not so FriendBook

So over the last few months I've become weary with Facebook. Not Facebook itself because ultimately its a great communication tool. In saying that it's the lack of communication on it that bothers me. That and the communication that is on it and it's overall use is either self gloating, self publication, voyeuristic and of course pure rubbish that people feel the need to share. I myself can be found guilty of all of the above. 

So over the last few months I've started deleting people I'm "Friends" with on Facebook. Some because I feel if I don't talk to the person outside of Facebook well then we weren't really friends in the first place. Some because I wanted to see if they would make the effort to keep in touch if I felt the ball was more in their court for them to make the effort. So far none of those people have contacted in any shape or form. 

So with that it leaves me feeling like I only want to be friends with people on Facebook if they are true friends. Friends that you'll talk to on and off Facebook. 

So the next time you are on Facebook and it prompts you to "Friends you may know" or the "Find Friends" screen ask yourself before adding anyone else are you really friends with the people you have added already and are you really friends with the person you want to add.

Steve Jobs takes medical leave of absence. Get well soon !!!

Apple supremo Steve Jobs has announced that he is taking a medical leave of absence, casting doubt over his future at the company.

Jobs, who overcame pancreatic cancer in 2004, told staff in an email that he was stepping aside so that "I can focus on my health."

The announcement was made during a non-trading day on the US market, but the shares fell 9% in trade on European markets overnight. His temporary 2004 departure caused a 10% dip in Apple's share price.

Forget the company, the shares, the money as someones HEALTH is THEIR WEALTH
