Facebook II

I mentioned Facebook before here and the fun I was having learning how it all hung together. I must admit I was surprised when I started using it at the number of acquaintances and friends I ran across in there. Some where techno-cripples, others were gregarious and still others quiet folks. In the space of a week or so, I have run across 36 friends and it has been great to reconnect with them. Some I thought I would never talk to again.

I must admit, I am kind of sold on Facebook. It may not be as elegant as Orkut is but it certainly is easy to use and to find folks. I worry a little about the privacy issue but I think the risk is low, especially if you are careful and pick your words carefully as well as decide what information to make available.

Well, I for one will spend some more time in there tonight, then back to painting some figures before bed.

Now, where is that wall-to-wall button again?
