for the Life of Jon!!.?

So, after months of stagnation, like that water in that thing on your deck that you never empty despite rampant warnings of west nile virus, I did it.

I returned to facebook, this time stronger, bigger, and better than ever.  Well, let’s just say somebody ‘wrote on my wall’ (who came up with this stuff?), and it showed up in my email, blah blah, there i was.  You know, it’s not all that bad now.  I see numerous friends listed, and discovered some people I haven’t seen or talked to in years through friends of friends of friends of…

Now that it’s open to the general public, I can see facebook as a somewhat valuable tool to mingle with my friends.  I mean, in a perfect world my friends would all hang out in #jonsfriends on dalnet, but that’s not gonna happen, not in my lifetime (nor should it, because irc is really archaic, but that’s a different story).

They’ve added a lot of new stuff since I last checked it out, and some of it seems actually semi useful.  What’s even better is that it’s not laden with too many ads (yet).  This is really what MySpace SHOULD have been, but will never be.  MySpace was a half finished job of some strange idea of a social networking tool.  It now is a hacked together piece of crap with more ads than I have fingers on every page.

I’d encourage anyone to check it out, it’s cool.  It’s now open to the public, and It’s an easy way to keep up to date on all your friends, find old friends, and maybe meet new ones.
