i've been quite intrigued by this Facebook-thingie... i have to admit i have only just gotten into it... there have been similar earlier morphosis and invitations from friends which i have literally ignored... because i wasn't sure what it was all about and how much you might expose yourself to... but there's much development in the privacy... it's quite a fascinating idea... you feel that at times you are less than 6-degrees apart from someone you hardly know! it's quite a bizarre... !!!
aside from the networking or rather re-networking in my case, the applications within the website are real fun! i particularly love the graffiti application which lets you be as creative as you want... (here are some of my graffiti-doodling)
and the newly updated version would play back your graffiti-creations too... hey! and you could play games (like scrabble, build a collaborative story, share pictures etc.) with friends who are physically far away... or toss them an idea or two etc. or a sheep!!... best of all, i've found so many old school friends that i've lost contact with since i left singapore for the uk when i was barely 17! just like this wee blog-space... the facebook has really brought me closer to others, albeit virtually... i think it's a wonderful and evolving tool... and i think it's absolutely brilliant! =)
PS just be a little careful with things you share... not just in Facebook... it's sad that one never knows who can be trusted these days. (thanks to anm for the link)
