Many of mine look bemused, and there are still plenty who are amazed that you can make money by blogging. On the plus side, I was talking to a 73 year old friend yesterday who had suddenly 'got' Facebook when he was able to have a one hour IM chat with someone he hadn't seen in years. So there's hope ...

I can totally relate to the "living in two worlds" part.

Several of the people at dinner are teachers, which added another layer of interest to their takes on social media.
