You don’t get to 500 million friends without making a few enemies

It’s a great quote, that one on the poster.

Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely, a nice theme for a movie.

I love social networking, in spite of all the reservations I held about it in the beginning.

It’s allowed me to get to know a wide range of wonderful authors and people associated with writing, given me a platform upon which to stand to sell my words and has allowed me to get in touch with friends long since lost on life’s highways.

For those of you out there thinking it’s all about hearing about neighbours putting out washing or being told what their best friend’s having for tea, to my way of thinking you’re missing the point entirely.  Your loss.

I guess the fact that your here, though, means you like to dip in your toe from time to time.  Good for you.

And it’s the subject of this week’s film (Friday 30 th, 8 o’clock, Hallhill, all welcome, £5 for a ticket on the door).

I’ve not seen it, but I’m very much looking forward to it.

Maybe I’ll see you there.
