… I was also sucked into Facebook last week by my cousins and siblings. I initially felt too old but then a bunch of people in my class in grade school and high school contacted me immediately so I already feel like I belong a little. We were making fun of Facebook at work recently. One jibe was that it’s a classic force multiplier: it allows you to form cliques and shun people at great efficiency! Before you could only shun people in sight, while out socially — but now you can shun people anywhere, anytime!
When did you sign up on Facebook, and how long did it take for people you hadn’t been in touch with in ages to start contacting you? If you haven’t signed up, why not? There’s like, a Booman Tribune group now and everything. ;D
