Unless you are in the group that uses Facebook to keep tabs on family, grandchildren, and other people’s children, what somebody posts on Facebook is not about you. There is an assumption that should a person share a post, write a post, or check-in somewhere, that it is all about those that see that post. The person posting wants to let other people know whatever they posted. For this user, this is not at all the case. If I check-in at Ophelia’s in Denver it is not because I want people to know that I am at Ophelia’s. I check-in because I like to have a record of where I was in any particular city. Let’s say that the meal I had at Ophelia’s was out of this world. Two years later I am trying to explain to someone how good this meal was. For some reason, I can’t remember the name of the restaurant, just the dish, and the general date. I can go back to my check-in posts, find the approximate date, and BAM, I remember the meal was at Ophelia’s. It is not about you. If I share a post from the Santa Fe Institute that includes a link to an article, I could give less than a frog’s fat ass if anybody knows I follow the Santa Fe Institute. I share the post so that it is easy to find again. I simply go to my page, find the post, and again, BAM, I am reading the article now that I have the time. Even if I post a picture of myself, which I rarely do, it is for the benefit of maybe three people total. Facebook is a personal journal and resource of things, places, people, and organizations that I love. It is all about me. Don’t think for one second that I am trying to overtly influence, persuade, or convince anybody of anything. I don’t care if you know what I’m interested in, where I’ve been, or where I’m going. Check-in at an airport with a destination attached? Absolutely. Why? Because I fucking feel like it and I like to have a record of various airports. Or not. Seriously, don’t worry about it.
