Today’s tip is from Roger Anderson, Yorba Linda consultant and author of “Maps for Modern Magellans.”
“I got an e-mail from Facebook. It seems a friend posted a question. The e-mail did not say what the question was, but since it was from a friend, it would be rude not to answer. Thanks to Facebook’s format everyone would know if I did not answer.
“So, I visited, answered the unimportant question, and was left to think: Is there anything in my life that is a bigger waste of time than Facebook?
“Now that Google will be opening the social media standard rush so that people no longer have to create a new identity for every site, I can sign up to waste more time on more sites! Wasn’t the Microsoft/MSN “Wallet/Passport/LiveID” supposed to do this?”

Facebook originally started as a social networking site for Ivy League college students to post pictures of drunken soirées. I don’t understand why working professionals would join Facebook in the first place. It really doesn’t serve them in any way.
