If an absentee blogger posts on the WWW, does anybody read?

The facebook phenomenon seems t be getting old.

It used to be when my wife and I posted pictures or updates it took minutes, maybe hours for there to be some comments surfacing, people were all over it. Lately I have noticed that this, much like myspace, or MSN messenger all seem to be fads that fade rather quickly.

I use facebook, not because I want to keep up on gossip or check in on friends, but to share pictures with my family. It is the easiest way for me to do that and since I basically ignore anyone who requests to be a "friend" that I haven't had a conversation with over the past 2 years it makes it a bit more personal than posting them here.

I wish there were simple free on-line photo albums that didn't require memberships or downloads that would allow only select people to share pictures. Blogger takes way to long to post, Facebook requires what seems like constnt downloads and updates and Kodak is, well, like subscribing to a K-Tel product newsletter.

If my daughters weren't so cute I might not bother sharing, but dang-it, they are by far the best looking kids I've ever seen... spoken like a true daddy!
