To clarify, if you are referring to the facebook that police give to witnesses to ID criminals, and not the social networking phenomenon, then I AM on facebook. Shit. Rape one horse, and you're in that damn book for life. I realized I may be laboring under a misapprehension.

I hate people in meat-space enough. Why would I want to meet more in cyber-space? Er...present company excluded, of course. Facebook is at least better than Myspace, which looks like it was designed in 1996 and redesigned later in 1996. It makes sense, as the folks who own myspace (Newscorp) only make a few billion dollars a year off it. If they could only break a profit they might be able to hire someone who's seen the web since 1999. But, c'mon, what can you do with a paltry billion dollars of profit? Web-designers cost at least three times that! Dear god. I hate people in meat-space enough. Why would I want to meet more in cyber-space? Er…present company excluded, of course.

Online or real life. Make your choice. @blot Im still not "using" it so much as "allowing it to exist." Not sure where to go from here. @Kip I think the reason you didnt know about about was back then it was college-exclusive. You had to have an active .edu email to get it. Not sure when that changed but it was pretty recent. @Denise

Somehow it exploded in the year since I graduated (which was May 2004) and I missed it. I'm still not on Facebook. Those damn kids and their crazy facebooks. When I was a kid our facebooks were printed on paper, once a year, and the only way for people to leave comments on them was to write "I was the first to sign your crack" on the blank pages in the back. That's after walking five miles uphill in the snow, barefoot of course.

It's hard because most of them are all at different colleges and universities. ^^' So, that's about all Facebook is good for. :P I’m on there for my friend in real life (and some online, but few) to connect.
