Just because I'm paranoid doesn't mean they aren't after me

counterpoint

The counterpoint to that Guardian article is here. Sadly much of the discussion that it generated consists of Americans whining that Europeans hate them.

I love a conspiracy theory, but that piece was pretty shoddy. And you can't delete your account can you? It's just deactivated. More evidence!

With Friends like Facebook, who needs Enemies?

The Nodalpoint group on Farcebook now has 80 members.

This is great but it gets more and more tempting every day to Delete your Facebook account if you suffer from paranoia. That article might overstate Facebook conspiracy theories, but its an interesting read all the same.

There is no cure

"so addictive that some spaced-out users call it Crackbook", at least according to one opinion piece.

We are all doomed

I signed onto Facebook when it opened up, since I wanted to try out the Splashcast player. The rest is history.

For App junkies, you HAVE to try out Facebook video.

Facebook Pandemic

Forget HIV, SARS and other nasty viruses. I seem to have infected you all with the Facebook Pandemic. Oh no! What have I done? Can it be cured?!

Scarily addictive

I have to admit, FB has given me the kick I've been expecting social networking to provide. I've banned myself from using add-on apps for now, but contacting blasts from the past is highly entertaining. I'm going to put it down for a little, though, before it does my head in.

Much better

Yes, things seems to have evened up :)

My initial Facebook wariness evaporated after 8 hours of near-continuous use. I must do some work...

"Related groups" algorithm

Duncan — Mon, 13 Aug 2007 03:37:49 -0400

Hmmm, the related groups seem a bit more sensible now that 20+ people have joined. We have PLoS, Science Foo Camp, Science Bloggers, Bioinformatics and Boras... A Blog Around The Clock. Thats better!

Related groups

Related groups include "If 100,000 people join, my wife will let me name my second child Spiderpig", "Stop Buying Shit Things For The Sake Of It You Vacuous Fools" and "Fu*k Chorlton"...

Not sure that I "get" Facebook just yet, but I can't resist a social network, I'm there.
