A reminder that we voted to try out Facebook this month, so I've signed up (with this email address). If y'all want to do the same, we can either try and find each other on the site, or you can post the email addresses you've registered with here for a quick method of identifying ourselves.
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?
Greg (going now, remembering a vow taken long ago not to write emails late at night after a few (or more) drinks).
