Facebook

I was watching 60 Minutes on Sunday night while giving the boys their evening apples and carrots.  Nothing much interesting until Leslie Stahl came on interviewing the creator of Facebook.   Bam, that got my attention.   This guy who is only 23 years old, a Harvard drop-out, started Facebook while he was still at Harvard.  It was only an online student directory where students are able to send messages to each other.  And all these were done out of his dorm room.  You can read the rest of the interview here. 

My friend Deb was the one who introduced me to this wonderful Facebook.  I have heard of Facebook, but did’nt bother to check it out.   I thought it’s another MySpace kinda thingy.  When I got the invite from Deb to join and be her friend, I thought, what the heck.  I was kinda hooked to finding out who else has joined this online keeping in touch friends/people directory.  And the next best thing was I found my former classmate, SY, who I was once kept in contact back in 2000, but somehow we lost all contact till I was kaypoh-ing at someone’s profile and saw her.  I was so happy I found her and I really hope we will keep in contact from now on.

Plus, I really like the games, too.  Some of them are not an easy feat to get a score.  Scrabulous is getting to be really fun.  SY invited me to a game she initiated, and I have to say she is really kicking my ass!  Who knows, I might initiate another game with her….

All said, my opinion of this another social networking thingy is great to look up friends you have not kept in touch, at least for me!  And to poke and poke them, give them virtual drinks and flowers,  notes, I find it fun.  I can get into Facebook the whole day if I want but i’m spacing myself.  Can’t get too addicted to it!
