Starting up

I'm getting pretty sick of Facebook.  I'm trying to find an alternative method that allows family and friends keep up with me.  But keep up with me b/c they want to, not b/c I'm part of an addictive social network that makes keeping up with people convenient   I might even use it vent about things that bother me.  Or maybe I will use it just to keep people updated with my life.  I don't actually know how this will go.  So, watch this space.
