So did all those annoying "Now You're My Vampire Slave"-widgets - by now Facebook is way too spammy for my taste. I think Facebook is a potentially great communication tool, though. The only problem is that nobody uses that option much - all I get are those "Super-Fun" mass invitations and a hundred quiz invitations every week.

There, I said it. Facebook just has way too many options and blinking lights. It makes me anxious. But I did read back in September that college students declared MySpace dead and Facebook on its way out the door. We'll see. MySpace is overrun by spammers, but beyond that I still like it. When I first got on MySpace in early '06, I noticed that no one I knew back in Georgia was on it. So you're not alone, Terje, in being an early adopter among your countrymen. But we are probably too old for this sort of thing in general. I prefer MySpace to Facebook. There, I said it. Facebook just has way too many options and blinking lights. It makes me anxious.

I can't find a single acquaintance on Facebook. Or maybe it's my age - I guess I'm really too old for stuff like this. “MyFace” - an incisive misinterpretation! :))

How late is “fashionably late” in this context?

Compared to my fellow countrymen and -women, I actually think I’m in the “early adopter” segment. I can’t find a single acquaintance on Facebook. Or maybe it’s my age - I guess I’m really too old for stuff like this.

I like the interface much better than Friendster, and so far, I've refused to do anything on MySpace. (Or, as my dad calls it, getting confused between the two sites, "MyFace.")<br/><br/>The problem is that we're about 3 years late to the party. It's not our fault - up until recently, it's only been available for students - but still, I'm becoming friends with all these people who are students and are pretty much over the whole Facebook thing!
