First Topic: What Motivates People To Chat On Facebook?

Facebook . We all have one. Those who haven't joined yet are considered by their online friends to be living in some sort of time distortion. There's no question about its wide spread usage, but let's get a little more specific. Let's talk about the chat feature. Recently I was chatting with a new friend of mine, Jen ( mythbusterbeauty .com ). While chatting, she suggested I write about what the motivation is for people to chat on Facebook . Now that's a tough topic. My first thoughts were about those friends that consistently initiate chats and don't have anything they really wanted to say to you. They're bored and you are their boredom scapegoat. Of course, the conversations are drawn out forever with replies that grow shorter and shorter until you end up with nothing but an " uhuh " or "oh" as a response. When you've finished the business you came online to do you find yourself thinking of a way to get out of the conversation and

Everyone's doing it.

It seems that everyone and their dogs have blogs today, so I thought "why not me?". So, here I am, starting a blog without a clue as of what to write. Perhaps I'll review bands, albums, movies and such here, maybe I'll just rant on occasion, but I hope to make this a place where thoughts can come and go, where people come to get something off their chest, or just a place where you can come to share something you like.  Send some suggestions my way of what you'd like to discuss. I'll give you my take on anything you'd like. Throw me lines about what pisses you off, what your passions are, what you wish would change, thoughts about a band you just saw, a quote you read, a movie you saw, whatever, otherwise I'm just going to write what's on my mind, and frankly, that might bore you. Just do it damnit!
