I've no idea, facebook is yet another way for the sub-20s generation Y or whatever they're called, to itch yet another solipsistic scratch.


The last couple of Roasteds (the little cartoon at the beginning of the observer magazine, and along with Barbara Ellen the only reasons to pick it up) have been spot on. Woman panicking as her IM, email, myspace mail, facebook poke, mobile phone and SMS all go off at once, but still no neighbour has ever knocked on her door!


Iraqis are apparently all dating and communicating on IM and email and chat sites, they have an excuse, we don't. So who's up for the next Forum meet, or RL (real Life) interfacing session?


*quietly pulls down '12,000 views screenshot' from flickr photostream, coughs into hand, ahem ahem*

Seeing as every Homepage actually just posts to a myspace page, full of photos from flickr and events from upcoming.org, with delicious links, technorati tags and blogger blog entries, I suppose we shouldn't be surprised.

Does it have an upmystreet link for lordship lane?

I'm only poking fun Nutty. Most sites have perfectly useful applications. I only got into flickr to show a couple of holiday snaps to family and put stag do/wedding photos up for mates to enjoy.


Then you get sucked into the community, and the views and the explore hits and everything else. Somewhere it's taken me a good year to control and retreat slowly from.


Likewise there's no reason myspace can't be a genuine way to showcase music etc, but really for most it's a popularity contest, people logging on every half an hour to watch their hit counters etc.

I've not gone on to facebook but I gather it functions in much the same way, potentially useful, potential solipsism trap. After all a hammer's great for banging nails in a wall, or you can kill people with it.


Regardless, I'm going to have to come to terms with forum addiction at some point and slowly slip away from it, not to mention yet another new outlet for my penchant for online gaming that's recently come by, so i have to limit these things.


Hence i didn't register.
