This has highly amused just about everyone who knows me for the last few days:

Sigh. I got a Facebook account. It is here. Poke away. Initially I got very defensive and insisted that a Facebook refusnik like myself had only finally caved in because it was getting impossible to keep up with certain work related tasks without one - this helped sweeten the poison as I could retort that I was getting paid to use Facebook. Now I've got my head around it my thinking has changed. Slightly. I completely understand why so many people use it and indeed enjoy it. Tellingly I completely understand why so many of my non techy friends are on there. It's easier than running a blog, you 'get it' instantly unlike say Twitter and because it doesn't do much you're not going to go scratch your head over it a lot. It picks up the Friend's Reunited users in one fell swoop and doesn't charge them a penny. I still don't like it. But it has it's uses. I'm also trying to learn to love Pownce. I keep comparing it to Twitter and it loses so bad I feel sorry for it. Like a three legged dog. If I try and see it as a way to share stuff with people it shines a little more, though I'm far from making friends with it. But I'm trying... I have a bunch of Pownce invites by the way. Lemme know if you need one.
