Two contrasting views on having most of one’s friendships online, through blogging or Facebook.
First, Dilbert’s view from a “glass half empty” perspective (follow the link – I can’t easily display an image as wide as this, and anyway I don’t think I am supposed to). I think Dilbert needs to take up blogging, or join Facebook or something, then he might find some real friends who are interested in what he is.
Then, a more positive, “glass half full” outlook from a Facebook greeting card which Sam sent me and which I can echo:
That’s a harder question to answer when you’re family is spread across the country or world.
Dilbert does blog – at least Scott Adams does. It’s one of the best things on my reader!
Yes, Scott Adams does. So, for that matter, does Dilbert’s boss. Adams even uses Dilbert’s name for his blog, but the “I” is not Dilbert but Adams. I don’t read this blog, but perhaps I should, for gems like this I just found:
– also his post Scientists Disprove Evolution (although they haven’t really).
Just wanted to say I have been enjoying your site, Peter. You have named it perfectly.
