   I wouldn’t join Facebook today, but I’m not about to delete my account either — it’s quite useful for keeping tabs on old friends and classmates. Firefox+Adblock keeps most of the ads out of sight, and they seem to be starting to realize that people don’t like being told every time a friend becomes a Zombie/Vampire/Werewolf, etc.

   Last year, I changed my profile so that only my friends could view it. I never did put intimate personal details on it, and if some company wants to pay money to find out that I like Arrested Development, that’s OK by me.

   Hodginson sounds like he doesn’t quite understand the way most people use Facebook — it’s not a replacement for your social life, but rather an extension of it, if even that. Yes, perhaps in the future people will interact with each other solely in virtual space, but you know what? It’ll be because they choose to do that over the real world. This choice will remain incomprehensible to Hodginson and those who are used to doing things the old way.

   what’s the point of this post again?
   it’s a social networking site just figuring out how to make some money.
   the info you put through it could be used against you, but people are aware of that and withhold certain info accordingly.

   I quit my account a couple of days ago and I feel fine. No tremors, shakes or cold sweats. What did we do before facebook? We did just fine is what.

   I wonder what the opinions here are about MySpace.

   I somehow hate this Facebook. Exactly because all of this.
