But it has reconnected me with a lot of friends and is a great way to stay in touch.I'd love to find a way to add $ on the side - trouble is, I pour so much of myself into the news biz I've been at for 30 years (especially the TV station's Website) that I have precious little time for anything else. If nothing else, that's what social networking has done for me - find a way to stop WORKING on the PC and LIVING. A little. More than I used to. Heh;-) Wow, can’t top the family connections restored through FB.

I didn't recognize the name but my memory is horrible (I think that's the computers fault! haha) so I figured why not add her and see what she has to say?Her first message asks if the names she mentions are in fact my parents. Even more curios who this girl is and why she knows my parents name I reply and keep the conversation going. Very emotional times and very amazing times followed; In the end I discovered a new sister and brother, as well as my biological father all things to Facebook.

It helps people actually use Twitter to meet with friends and find new people that like the great beer in PDX. Therefore it's changed my life about 100%. It's information share at it's best. Cheers! Join me for a pint in PDX. Since I’ve started using social networks I’ve started my own business that uses social media to list micro brews on tap around Portland, OR.
