My friends are starting to desert facebook and I started to wonder who will be left when the exodus starts in earnest. I think most people have a facebook threshold/tolerance. Many of my friends have reached their threshold. I will stick it out for a bit longer.
“Real life” is much more interesting however, Ben posted this on his on his profile and it does make Facebook seem kinda creepy. We discussed it over a coffee and I am still convinced that it is just a social networking tool and it is how you use it that makes you a TOOL or not.

haunted by lost loves -
visceral anguish growing
bridling restraining new life
A very black sketch…re-iterating that once you go online, you should be careful with just how much you let others know about you. Maybe everyone will go back to having funky anonymous nicknames like the old days, so that very few people know who you really are?
I know that being logged in to Facebook and a Discussion Board using my real name really forces me to be very careful about personal information.
