My latest addiction is Facebook.com. I have met a lot of old friends, but I have also met people I don't know! This is kind of freaaky! You can play all these games with people, you can poke people in a cyber way, and they can poke you back in a cyber way. I wrote to someone I thought was a friend, but I had no idea who the hell they were when they wrote me back, and my friend was bought and sold...I don't understand!
Another fucked up application in facebook, and now it looks like myspace and facebook have merged into one. I hope this isn't true, myspace was so nice in the beginning! Facebook is also weird because it connects you to people you haven't seen in 25 years, and all of a sudden they have a first hand picture of who you are, and who your friends are. But I gotta give it to the facebook hippies, because they have a virtual garden that raises money to help the rainforest, and I think that's pretty cool.
But my advice to facebook is don't intertwine yourself with myspace, lose some of your crappy applications, and I think what you're doing is great in terms of networking people together. My friends at Skylake Ranch Camp (SRC) got together on facebook, and I got so excited that after our realtime meeting, I broke my foot! So, facebook, you and I have a love/hate relationship!
Oh! I forgot to mention, every time I get poked or get a new message, it goes straight to my cell phone. No, really! I'll be in the middle of a meeting, and it will suddenly pop up that so-and-so has finally reunited with me, and so the person in the meeting gets to talk while I get to think about who the f--- friended me! Myspace is no better, and as the quote says on Romeo and Juliet, "A plague on both your houses!"
That's all, folks!
