I keep hearing (from people who have never used social media) that they don’t tweet or use FB because “I just don’t CARE…” about whatever lame status report they feel is unimportant. Not only do I think they’re missing out, it makes me wonder just a little bit when being an uncaring person because a good thing. Like you, Facebook and Twitter have given me the opportunity to help out – or at least send good wishes – in situations I wouldn’t have even known about otherwise.

I value knowing the “stupid” things my friends post. (And when I recently had minor surgery, I also valued the good wishes I got through my social media sites.)
