Well, I finally looked at my My Space account and set up a Facebook account and I admit to being baffled as to what to do next.
Part of me worries that trying to keep up on My Space and Facebook is going to take more time than I want. Part of me says: Get over it, this is the future!
It's a strange experience trying to sort it all out. Anyone have any suggestions for me?
