Terry Pithers says:Hi Dwight: Interesting that your sons have dropped Facebook. For business professionals Linkedin is definitely the way to go. And as for exposure, what you post on Facebook can come back to haunt you. BTW how good was that price on toilet paper?

Dwight Doering says:Hello Terry: I recently had another accountant ask me to be their friend on Facebook. I phoned him and told him that it would be a frosty day in Hades when I even look at Facebook. The whole thing just creeps me out and I really don’t care that your cat was sick this morning or that you got a great deal on toilet paper at Wally’s World. I guess I am old but I just don’t want that kind of Internet exposure nor can I see a reason to be involved in “social networking” as the youngsters call it. By the way both my sons (20 and 24 yrs) have dumped their Facebook accounts. If old folks are doing it it’s not cool anymore. I told him I would link with him on Linkedin which I guess is sort of Facebook for professionals. Isn’t it Twits that Tweet on Twitter?
