Suddenly I feel very, very old.

My attempt to join the hip, happening Web 2.0, interconnected world seems to be floundering and it’s all due to my age.

Hardly anyone I know is on Facebook and my attempts to discover people fell at the first hurdle when I scanned the alumni of my old college. As Jayne (one of the few I know on Facebook) said:

“i have noticed that the other alumni for QMC are very very young. I mean stupidly young. Does that mean we are very hip and trendy and are communing with the happening generation in the new social media thang. Or we are sad old gits who haven’t got a proper life in the grown up world.”

I’m even more depressed after reading her profile. Self-employed as a “Copy and feature writer, podcast producer, media trainer”. What on earth is a media trainer ? Are my MP3s too slothful ? She even has a podcast player on her profile !

Lets hope that the impending court case against Facebook by rival site ConnectU doesn’t stop us all trying to find people from our past (and present) or prevent Jayne enjoying the Scrotum Artists group …..
