What the hell is the point of Facebook?
First, there was Friendster, then for some reason, the collective decided it was no longer cool and then it went to Myspace, which was equally stupid and annoying, but had more people on it. Then the same thing happened again with Facebook.

Vampires, Werewolves, “Which Star Trek Character Are You?” quizzes. All that shit. I guess these are what they mean by “apps” and “pokes”. But again, not totally sure.

If you have ever sent me any of these things, I hate you. If you have spent $1 of real money to send me a virtual gift, you should hate yourself.

nihb: todd we are on facebook because we want to be connected in as many ways as possible to the people we like ... me for one have my favorite people on FB, LinkedIN and use IRC or IM when I want to talk to them. FB is for friends only - thought to be strict on this I need to make a defriend round
