Facebook and Twitter

I have a love/hate relationship with Facebook. I use it for personal social networking and have reconnected with people I literally haven't seen in more than 25 years. I get a little frustrated by getting a notice every time a friend plays a game. I learned how to block them, but I still get frustrated by some of the things people deem post-worthy. I also feel a little uncomfortable with the blurring of my personal and professional life, especially with youth. I have honored two requests from high schoolers to allow them to be my friend on Facebook. I really don't post much, I am pretty private. I only respond to them with brief encouraging words. I am seeing their personal life, however. More than I wish to see.

I signed up by YS Department for Twitter and I am immediately drawn to the briefness of the tweets. I don't have a lot of time to read blogs and I don't have enough time to create a well written visually interesting blog for my Department. tweeting about upcoming events to remind people what they have signed up for and informing people about what's going on locally seems to be right up my alley. I just have to decide if it would be better to create a Facebook page for the YS Department, which are patrons seem to be using, or begin tweeting.
