Facebook fun
OK I am officially addicted to Facebook
Practically everyone I know is there and it’s a lot of fun catching up with people I knew from school, whilst keeping in touch with old friends and colleagues.
I was amused then to see this on CNNMoney.com then. Particularly this paragraph:
“Among the younger set, e-mail is increasingly passé. Instead, when they want to reach someone they “facebook” them. Groups can emerge for anything. One group of 227,000 at Facebook supports Barack Obama, and for some reason 143,000 – presumably mostly feckless college kids – have joined the group “I Secretly Want To Punch Slow Walking People In The Back Of The Head.”"
I must confess that the latter group is one I am a very proud (and not so feckless!) member of ;)
I almost accepted an invitation to sign up. But, I could not decide whether I was “staff” or “faculty” or whether it would actually be useful, so I didn’t.
It might be useful in the future.. Joe is there, Chimdi, Nic and all the crew. I’m using it as a slightly less offensive ‘Friends Reunited’. I didn’t even think I knew 50 people, but apparently I do. I believe the site would be enhanced greatly by your august presence :)
Well, I might give it a go at some point. We shall see.
By the way, your new software doesn’t make posting comments any easier!
