Should I be on Facebook?
Almost four years ago, I might have tipped my hand about my opinion of Facebook when I wrote this:

But last year, after The Slice Blog got briefly embroiled in what came to be known as "Anal-gate" (you had to be there), I had a conversation with SR editor Gary Graham.
I said there had to be better ways to generate additional web traffic and that I was thinking I probably ought to do Facebook. He said that could be a good idea but stressed that it was up to me.
I subsequently asked SR web maven Gina Boysun if she would help me set it up. She said that she would.
So I decided Facebook would be something to tackle in 2014.
Well, almost a month of the new year has gone by. And I have yet to take the plunge.
I have my reasons, plate-spinning issues among them. It seems silly, though, to let those objections keep me from potentially connecting with new readers.
Still, before I do anything rash, I wonder if any of those who read this blog have thoughts or advice about what my Facebook policy ought to be.
