I read somewhere that you only tease people you like.

I think that’s probably true. Unless you are trying to hurt someone (and that’s more like harassment), we only tease the people we care about.

So when I decided to have a little fun with my sister’s facebook page on this blog, I didn’t really expect anyone to see it. Of course, this is the web, so there’s the potential for millions to see it. But after all, this blog is one of thousands (millions???) and I know it’s not one of the hot spots on the internet. Far from it. If I get ten or twenty hits a day, I think it’s been a busy day.

Imagine my surprise when all of a sudden my blog is being hit regularly. Not in the millions, of course. But unusually high for my little spot.

And it’s all because I teased my little sister (publicly – yes, but not with any spite intended)

Another website grabbed the post the next day and included it in an article about the need to redesign Facebook. (you can read the article here) And as the internet goes, they told two friends, and they told two friends, and they told two friends…

The result, in the end, was not only did I tease my sister, but unintentionally, many people. I hope everyone takes it in the spirit it was intended. It’s your Facebook profile, and you can have it any way you want.

And, if your interested, the Facebook people are redesigning the look, with the intent of removing some of the clutter. You can see previews of the new design here and here.
