So far I've resisted these things. I have as many friends as I can handle on the blog. But on the day I cave I'll send you a friendship...thingie.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Why? Why did you do that? ;_;

Am I one of the few left to have resisted this terrible menace?

Oh well. Maybe you'll get even MORE readership.

Hey, at least it wasn't Myspace . . . that's just too pervy to contemplate. Meg, in my defense, Steven Pressfield is on Facebook! I have to work up the courage to send him a friend request . . .

Heh, I resisted the urge until last year. I finally got one because it's easier to keep in touch with my friends from high school.

I'll send you friend request.

You should totally hit up Pressfield for a friend request. I bet he would love to have a fellow author on his friend's list. :)

I hope you will continue to post in your blog.

Because after the bad experience with Myspace spam, I'm not going to click any of those social sites ever again.

No worries on that score, Gabriele. The blog here is my home . . . my facebook page is just a colony on foreign soil. I draw the line at Myspace. and I promise never to spam those in my friends list. Spamming ain't cool.

I have ten friends, now, and I think they're all from here :)

The weird thing with the Myspace spam is that it comes from people I've never heard about who sent me pics (at least they would if I clicked the attachments instead of deleting the muck) or want me to join a group or come to a party or something, and I never did more than click on a Myspace site once. I don't know what illegal trackware they use on that place.

Facebook?? Facebook???? Do you know how many Scott Odens there are on Facebook already? People will be friending one, thinking it's you, and get the guy with the funky tattoo on his head, or the guy dressed in the gnome outfit, or worse yet, the guy with the picture of pasty thighs where his face should be...

Unless they are ALL you. *runs away to bleach her eyeballs*

Scott,

I've just joined you in Facebook land. It's nothing I wanted to happen. I didn't even do it - my publisher did. So now I have a sight and they claim they'll run it for me. I'm suspicious...
