A reason to like Facebook
If you're reading this on Facebook, you see my reason.
These big-blog posts are now, by RSS feed, appearing on my Facebook profile page as "notes". There's also a comment mechanism on the Facebook page; hence, I have my long-awaited comment solution. (Feel free to comment on Facebook in exultation.)
As social-networking tools go, I vastly prefer Facebook to MySpace. The current negative publicity aside, I think Facebook is infinitely better coded, with better interaction tools, than the corresponding tools on MySpace, and Facebook doesn't have the lowest-common-denominator feel that MySpace has. (The only killer app MySpace has working right now are all the bands with MySpace pages, and y'know, honestly, PureVolume is getting about as much use lately, and is overall better.) The fact that Facebook got is start as a college networking site rings true to my academic heart, as well.
And Facebook is in the process of opening up to the non-academic world. I can give out invites to people to join the network now. (Those of you who know me, if you want an invite, send me an e-mail and ask. I'll even let you be my friend. How L33T is that?)
I wonder if I can start a Rome, GA network...
