Resistance is useless

Okay, hands up, who's on Facebook? You're all having a big party on there without me, aren't you.

Must resist... can't resist... yet I must... but I don't want to be 'poked' by ex-colleagues... the torment!

*sheepish* Yes, I am on facebook, although I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do there or anything.

Oh and I'm there under my REAL NAME. Which is scary,

Just join - it's great craic if a bit silly at times.

Rad said...

Yes luv.
I'll poke you mercilessly.

Del said...

Meh. I am on there, but I'm certain the next Friendster/Myspace/Facebook is waiting just around the corner.

Alda said...

I'm not. I can't be bothered to join. So you and me can party together in the boring old blogsphere, Annie!

Have you noticed that the big Facebook boom happens in the summer, when not much else happens. Look, look, Giuliani's daughter came out for Obama, she said so on Facebook! That's news, that is!

We'll all have forgotten about it by the time the school holidays finish.

Nope...the evil myspace here.

I'm there and yes, with my own name and face. Still don't know why. I like to send virtual flowers to my friends, though.

I am.

It makes it easy to organise things. Or it would if my friends committed to anything.

Don't you have to put pictures of yourself on there and network with *real* people and they find out your *real* identity, and you have to be really sensible about stuff? The thing I enjoy about blogging is hiding from all that crap.

So: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO to Facebook.

However, I may well start half a dozen other blogs.

I'm not into this social networking nonsense.

I am an artist, I tell you. An artist!

I've been on facebook for ages. I'm the rare breed that Facebook doesn't work for so I'm sticking to my Myspace, I can't find any contacts at all and the ones I can find I daren't request to add.

Annie said...

Psssh... not making it any easier...

I *quite* like it, now I've got over the horror of my real name and photo appearing online. I'm still trying to work out whether it's better as a business thing or as a social thing. I'm inclining towards the former, which sadly means that my friends have to watch me droning on about work things on it.

On the other hand, I already really, really miss the internet as a sort of crazy masked ball frontier land where no one was who they appeared to be, and no one had any control over anything. Sigh, we'll never see those days again. Well, apart from at Betty's blog.
