facebook?
Facebook came up at lunch Thursday. Several co-workers preferred it over MySpace. So most of the rest of us who were there have recently created Facebook accounts. It's been a tremendous time sink the last few days, searching for people, and searching through the friends lists of friends to find more friends. Searching by email address is much more effective than searching by name (can yield hundreds of matches, many of which won't show photos or location, so they could be anyone with the same name), if you know the emaill address, and it's an address Facebook knows. (Facebook has my GMail and college alumnus accounts, while most people would have my home-ISP and work addresses, so no match there.) I don't have time to keep up with LiveJournal, so I certainly don't plan to do a lot of updating on Facebook. But I have touched base with some people I haven't seen in many years, and I'm surprised to find that some of my friends know each other.
