Are any of you on Facebook?

Been seeing a few articles about it in Metro/Evening News.

Our Autumn American interns were hooked and kinda got a few of us hooked too...

very addictive.

Facebook? What is Facebook?

Sandra · Post by **Sandra** » 13 Jul 2007, 21:46

Its an American/Canadian College networking forum which now anyone can join - you can poke people

, throw food at them, give them drink, write on their wall (or your own), people you don't know even ask you to be friends

, you can join various groups, post photos, its great and highly addictive

This is so strange; last month no-one I know had a Facebook (that I knew of); they were all on MySpace, which was kinda the appeal of Facebook:D This month invitations are coming in from all angles! It's taking over...

I have a pet monkey on facebook called Bob which I can feed and pet and others can pet also

I fed "Bob" a juicy bone and he said "unappetizing"

my pet is no relation to our Bob btw!

and you can get a daily horoscope plus a fortune cookie to set you up for the day!

(if you don't like the fortune cookie you can change

, not the horoscope)

This distraction could ensure I never ever get these last few boxes unpacked

Pet monkeys! That is so tempting

Thanks! I've been a complete hermit after wearing myself out moving here, though it doesn't look as though I've missed too much in the way of long hot golden evenings on the beach...

I'm planning to start emerging from the dust and bubblewrap in the near future so will keep an ear out for sounds of Bess galloping round the park

I must choose a good pet now.

Bebo is the way forward!

I'd found bebo to be a little less user friendly than facebook - although I hadn't used either really.

Set up on facebook now and amazed at how many people I know are already there - found out more chat in the last half hour about people I've not spoken to in ages than I have this year!

I think what site you join first is the one you tend to stick with, I've found a lot of folk on Bebo too. However I'm not a hater so I've joined up to Facebook to take a look and see who is on.

However I cannot take to Myspace.
