I fired a couple of female relatives recently because they were posting wackadoodle conspiracy theory updates daily and sometimes hourly. A few brief skirmishes on their Walls convinced me they were entirely too serious and since ignoring them isn't really in my job description it was either mortal combat in the traditions of old-time Calgarypuck Off-Topic Board discussions or simply making them disappear.
The lesson is that you can get in touch and maintain contact with far-flung relatives and friends you might not normally stay close with BUT you might find out some things about them you'd rather not know.
Facebook was an integral part in saving the 103rd Annual Priddis & Millarville Fair coming up this Saturday.
Initially, the Ag Society board cancelled the Fair in April but within two days of the decision a young lady had stepped up with a "Save The Millarville Fair" Facebook page and had over 800 people signed up in virtual moments, providing the catalyst to overturn not only the decision but also the board that made it. Now the Fair has set a record for entries and is expecting a big crowd (barring poopy weather) on Saturday. That's the power of the new world of social networking in a nutshell.
