What is Pope 2 You? I saw it on someone’ s FB page and I can’t figure it out. Also, I want to share that hiding people has been key to my fb experience—I wanted to say yes when my 20 year old cousin friended me, but I do NOT want to know the details of her “girls gone wild” spring break. I have decided, on the advice of a friend, that any time FB is harming my relationship with someone or making me think less of them, or feel annoyed that they post too much about things I am not interested in, I just hide them. I can always put them back in the future, or go to their page if I want to see what they are up to, but I just don’t need these things making me worried/frustrated/disgusted in the middle of my parenting day.
New Media Guest Blogger
Posted by Danielle Bean in News on Sunday, March 07, 2010 3:00 PM
I am so happy to announce that we’ll have a special guest blogger this week ...
Welcome Melissa Wiley!
For any of you who have not heard of Melissa (like you there, for instance, the one crawling out from under that rock), she’s the homeschooling mother of six, popular Catholic mom blogger, author of The Martha Years books about Laura Ingalls Wilder’s great-grandmother, Martha Morse Tucker, and The Charlotte Years
books, about Laura’s grandmother, Charlotte Tucker Quiner.
She also happens to be a new media maven, and that’s what she’ll be blogging about with us. She’s shared her Catholic iPhone app expertise here with us in the past, and this week she’ll be guiding us through the exciting—but often daunting, confusing, and overwhelming—world of social networking. She’ll help us navigate the basic and not-so-basic aspects of Facebook and Twitter.
How do Catholic moms use these social networks? Why do they? What privacy and courtesy issues should we be aware of when sharing information online? How do we get started?
This week, Melissa will answer all of these questions and more ... Tune in!

Welcome, Melissa! Oh, fun… I need info on more ways to waste time on the computer, LOL! Srsly, I visit this website, and one forum for moms (not Catholic), and that is still more time-consuming than I should allow it to be. I’ve never done FB or Twitter, just because I do not have time. It is a real surprise to me that all these busy moms have time to blog here, put up their own blogs, follow FB and twitter, and write for various online and print publications. What are all the kids doing while Mom’s typing away? I assure you I am not asking sarcastically, I’m wondering if there is some computer-time management trick that I haven’t yet discovered.
When I am on the computer, no matter how short a time or what I’m doing- my kids are fighting, tearing up the house, skipping out on lessons or chores, and/or asking when it is their turn with the computer. LOL!
