Facebook is a lot more interesting than I thought….

Aug 2, 2007 by Jeff

I signed up for Facebook a few months ago on a whim. I didn’t really have any plans on using it, liking it or being completely consumed by it….
I was likening it to the god-awful MySpace junk that is constantly being created and had absolutely no desire to get involved in it.

Much to my surprise, Facebook has turned out to be nothing like MySpace and everything a Social Networking site should be:

It’s organized – A huge feat for an app that allows people to add their own content and choose how it displays
It has easy to use features and profile editing
It is relatively secure – Stalkers can’t easily find you unless you want them to
It allows easy addition of posts, comments, photos and a simple internal mailer (inbox)
It now has an open API for anyone to create their own apps
It has Zombies!! (a result of one of the great API mentioned above)
It is not completely occupied by pre-teens intent on annoying the hell out of everyone
It’s turned out to be a great way to catch up with friends I haven’t spoken to in years (seriously, in some cases we are talking almost 20!

Just in case you want to be my friend (or Stalker of the month…), feel free to check out my profile.
