Woot! I have friends.

Though none of you lot (that I have found, anyway) have bothered to
admit to being a friend of mine, you miserable lot.

On a more serious note, I've signed up, found a few friends, joined a
few groups, but now can't help thinking: Now what? Is it just a way to
keep in touch? I managed to do that before reasonably well, using
(e)mail and the telephone. Perhaps I'm just a luddite.

Also, what's in it for Facebook? They've taken no money off me, I've
seen no adverts, so what revenue stream do they have?
