so how about this facebook thing ay?

Its spreading pretty damn fast not to mention far and wide. When I was in the California in 2005 it was used within the colleges as a ... well I dont know what it was used for but it was a must have, along with AOL instant messenger. So being a keen international student wanting to getting into local stuff I signed up to facebook.

When I got back home to OZ I didnt do much with it cause it wasnt popular. Now I come to London and there are people at work - it a big European bank like Barclays - spending hours on it. Thats the last place I would expect it to be. And its growing in Australia too. Apparently there is one new user every minute....

Some people love it, others put up with it, some a scared and others just object to the idea. You can get the dirt on the site and its creator here. Most of the negativity is based around the privacy/ personal information and strange people having access to your friends side of things.

The fact that people can only see what you put up there pretty much erases any privacy issue for me. Cause if something is private to you - then dont put it up on the internet doofus! Easy as that. Then no on has access to it.

The only other issue that Ive heard is that strangers can see who your friends are without actaully being listed as one of your friends. See, in facebook you have to be accepted by the person as a friend to see their person information (by personal I mean whatever content you put up there). And if you dont know the person or you think they are a freak, you reject their request to be a friend. Then they cant see squat - except for who your friends are. Then they can be friends with you friends and so on. This is what a mate of ours said was his objection to facebook - mainly because he had some crazy ass stalker ex-girlfriends who he wanted to keep far far away. And using this 'friends of friends' trick, the crazy biatches could get to him. And to people in that situation I say hahahahahaahahaha
hahahhaa

aaaah
There is so much cool shiz on there and you can have a laugh and keep up with friends from all over the world. Some people are even making money there, raising funds for charity and discovering the satisfying pleasuring of the world of facebook stalking:
