Hey Joe, I use Facebook. It's actually nice. I don't use it much at all. It works like e-mail for me plus or minus a couple things. The plus is that there are pictures, and stuff and other ways to follow your friends' activities who are obsessed with it. It's also a really nice that you can look at your friends' contacts. This is cool cause you might come across an old friend you haven't seen for 2 years who happens to be a contact of a friend you're still in contact with. For example, my old roomate Neal just added me as a facebook contact cause he's seen me on another friends' page. All in all, I think it's worth joining, even if you're super passive, it's nice when people contact you. I actally have my blog posted there as a rss feed, so friends who are on facebook a lot read my blog that way (mainly folks who wouldn't be checking it regularly, which is cool.) Oh, and another thing, you don't have to do anything; really. Like, sometimes it just sits there and I forget I have it, then there's a week like this where I get wedding a wedding announcement from Adam (another old roomate) and facebook invitations from Neal and Adrienne (old roomate/friend who probably connected at Adam's wedding) it's a good thing.

Thanks Jake for the feedback. I'll sign-up in the next day or two.
