The most pressing issue of the day

[altariel]

A friend recently suggested that I join Facebook. I was on Facebook at one point, in fact, but it bewildered and slightly irritated me, so I deleted my account. I didn't want to play Scrabble, and I kept on getting things thrown at me, and while I'm working I try not to be online, so I don't have windows open with Twitter, IM, LJ, etc. etc. (Because I find them addictive and I'd play with them rather than work.) So I'm not clear how I'd integrate it into my working day or indeed my life.

But then I know that's just me being crusty and bad-tempered and reclusive, all my least attractive qualities. Not to mention indecisive, so I'm putting it to you, friends list:

Please feel free to tell me why or why not.

Twitter is out, though.

Unless someone can give me a really good reason.

If it irritates you, my answer is definitely no. There are plenty of places it's helpful for a writer to have a professional presence, and you can't keep up with all of them. Stick to the ones you can use effectively; anything else just saps the energy you need for writing. IMO.
