for an older generation?

It has occurred to me over the last few months that more and more of the older generation is getting facebook. It is great that they are using new technology to stay in touch but facebook was originally made for college age kids. Now at first this did not affect me at all but it was not too long before I was added on facebook by an ex girlfriends grandparents and than parents. It was not too long before my own aunts and uncles were adding me.

Now I was already friends with my younger siblings since they are in high school and even so there are things I don't want them to see on my facebook. It is not that I have anything to hide but there is no need for them to be reading my conversations. 

I mean there is no need for my aunts and uncles to see all the pictures I have up there that may be "cool" for my friends to look at but kinda awkward to have family spying on every aspect of my social life. Thus my solution. I discovered twitter. A place where I can simply post status's and my family and other older friends can simply follow my statuses. So thus it begins deleting all my aunts/uncles from facebook and simply saying just follow me on twitter if you want know what I am up too.
