Oh goodness gracious, the social landmine infested landscape that is Facebook…

…let’s just say, for a moment, Mark Zuckerberg had decided to stay at Harvard and study medieval French history instead of dropping out and founding the social networking site we all love (or loathe) today. In an Internet-less world would you have kept up CBF after he got engaged, nevermind married? (Like call him, send him a holiday letter, etc.) If your answer is no, why? If your answer is yes, why? Take the technology out of this for a moment, and it might give you some insight as to what to do.

Not that you owe his new bride anything, but I would recommend taking a moment to step into her shoes and think about how you’d feel if an ex was reaching out to your spouse/significant other. I know I would be upset unless there was some really good reason (they share a child together for example). It wouldn’t even be out of jealousy per se, but more of a symbolic holding onto a past that should be released.

Hopefully I’m not out of line with what I said, but I’ve never understood why folks are “friends” with people on FB they wouldn’t be in contact with them in real life.

My two cents (or should I say given the technological nature of this thread, my two bitcoins). 🙂
