Recently, I had to announce the death of my mother to her community

Deaths in our society are  traditionally announced through an obituary.

 I just noticed that Wondercafe now has Facebook & Twitter pages.  Many discussions that appear on this website also appear on Facebook & Twitter in public pages.

Once information appears on Facebook, its near impossible to get rid of in the future, and they have control over it.

Personally, if I wanted to discuss on Facebook, I would prefer to choose to do so myself.

Any thoughts on this issue?

So, recently I've gotten into the whole facebook applications deal. I must say, there's some pretty impressive stuff. I've done the farmtown, the restaurant city, what are some of your favorites?

Hi Folks,
We've opened up a new WonderCafe fan page on Facebook. Please come by and become a fan!

This fan page joins the original WonderCafe group on Facebook (which is still going strong):

Let me tell you a quick story before I start the discussion.

I was online, on Facebook, at my church, sitting with a group of friends. I did the routine check for messages and notifications, and found that someone had sent me a friend request.

Amy Sullivan wants to be your friend. Confirm or Ignore. 

Who's Amy Sullivan? I didn't know her, so I messaged her asking how she knew me. Luckily enough, Amy was online and quickly messaged back, saying she knew Gabby, a friend of mine.

Gabby happened to be sitting next to me.

I've been reading about Christians who are giving up Facebook, Twitter, etc. for Lent. (for example: http://blog.christianitytoday.com/outofur/archives/2009/02/the_social_ne...).

I'm not sure I get this. Facebook is supposed to be all about connecting with others and I don't think there's anything inherently sinful about that. It could even be good. Why give it up? Or are people just conscious of the amount of time they are spending there and want a change? I thought Lent was about stopping bad habits?
