Time to face the book

[hrj]

Having discovered that at least one member of my immediate family has a Facebook account, I have wasted the last couple of hours creating one of my own and attempting to populate the profile information with relevant data about me. I have no idea what I'll do with it -- browsing the various interest groups and whatnot gives a rather bleak (and no doubt false) notion of the sophistication of the majority of members. I'll probably treat it the way I do my LJ: gradually accrete "friends" and links as I come across them and see what develops. I haven't previously been keeping track of who among my friends has a presence there, so if you do and would be interested in exchanging links, drop me a private (or public, as you wish) note.

That's sort of how I've been handling it since joining about a month ago. (Went to a conference, and pretty much all the cool people I met were saying "Oh, we'll keep track of each other on Facebook", so I finally broke down). In the last 4 weeks I've managed to accumulate 100+ friends, including a couple of high school friends I hadn't talked to in years, and all of my cousins. It has its benefits.
