     I was at a writers’ group meeting a few months ago.  During said meeting, one of the members broke out her laptop.  She showed me some pretty interesting posts from her fan page.  While we were Facebook friends, I was embarrassed to say that I had never I hadn't checked her page out before.
     It's not that I’m not a snob or anything.  Quite the reverse.  If there’s any page with interesting posts, I wanna see it.  But there's just so much out there and so little time to see it all.  I “dumpster dive” through hundreds of FB posts every week (most of them from strangers).  Having liked thousands of pages, my friends' posts don't always come up every week.
     Well, in my friend's case, I ended up “stealing” a few posts to share later on.  Is there a point here?  Maybe.  Imagine you run a page and have a group of folks who loyally follow your posts.  People who actually support what it is you're doing.  Well, maybe you should hit their pages and peek around once in a while.
     Anyone who follows your page might have similar tastes and even a useful posting or three.
     Also, it’s a subtle show of . . . I dunno.  Respect?  Gratitude?
     Eh, it’s a thought.
