social networking confusion

I am behind the times and for the past couple months have been trying to catch up, at least with social networking. I signed up for a facebook account, found my friends at least some of them, then some others found me. Now I have contact information for more individuals than I have for decades and I am really not sure what to do about it.



I look at the things people are writing and it seems nonsensical. I stare at the screen and after a time of reading what others have written and leave. I ether need to practice my "social networking" jargon, which seems more like yap yap or I need to figure out what the heck this whole thing is about. Is there any rhyme or reason to what is posted? If not who thought up this thing maybe we should change the name to "social ramblings".
