I'd heard of Facebook, but didn't know much about it, and assumed it was a sort of cyber-yearbook for school kids. Yesterday I got an email from Mike Strom, a VHS classmate, inviting me to be on his "friends" page, so out of curiosity I accepted.
Today I was telling my friend Ed about it, and asked him if he's on Facebook, which he is. "I just joined last night," I importantly told him, "and I've already gotten four friend requests from people we were in high school with!" "You JUST joined Facebook?" he snorted. "How passe. Facebook's been around for years. Twitter's the thing now."
Passe or not, it's new to me, and it's sort of fun, having names and faces from the past crop up. And maybe I'll think about this Twitter thing next year.
