Facebooking across the universe? May 30, 2007

Ok, after a considerable amount of peer-group pressure from my friends, IT and media geeks that they are, I have finally joined Facebook - together with all the rest of South Africa it would seem.
I’m still not 100% sure why I did (Walton wrote a good blog entry on some of the issues here), but I’m sure something good will come of it. I’ve kind of always thought of myself as a bad friend, so maybe it will help a bit with that, haha…
I have to admit that I’m feeling the generation gap gaping behind me with all of this social networking stuff, but I’ll give it a try. So now I’m out there making “friends” with actual friends, people I’ve met before and folks I don’t know from a bar of soap.
Is this the end of face-to-face in-the-flesh social interaction? Actually I’m hoping facebooking will enhance my real-word social life. We’ll see…
