Just reading down those for my friends makes me almost feel like I know what's going on in their lives. <BR/><BR/>And the contests are fun. What bugs me, is when they force you to send the contest to other people in order to get your results. That's what makes me feel like a spammer...<BR/><BR/>LOVE your book cover, by the way.Maureen McGowanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00494408580378817045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24994577.post-18346101294360538692008-02-16T09:29:00.000-05:002008-02-16T09:29:00.000-05:00oh my, facebook just keeps on sucking me in. its s...oh my, facebook just keeps on sucking me in. its so addictive. i heard it being called crackbook recently! i hate those stupid games and other stuff too though. i just like nosing at people's profiles!Joanne Rendellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13712130417571454604noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24994577.post-11393143589822929762008-02-16T08:21:00.000-05:002008-02-16T08:21:00.000-05:00I'm not on Facebook or Myspace, but I will say I'm...I'm not on Facebook or Myspace, but I will say I'm more likely to join Facebook in the future--Myspace totally skeeves me out. Every time I go there, I end up getting propositioned by a nasty old guy, or something.

I'm not opening up that contact list to just anyone (which is why I have a smokin' contact list as it is). <BR/><BR/>When I looked at these networks, I thought "hhhmmm... these are completely spam-worthy." Hack in here, leave a little something there, and voila, access to unlimited contact lists.Kimber Chinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13658012405712901099noreply@blogger.com
