I finally succumbed to both a bit of peer pressure and a bigger sense that I'm in danger of being out of the loop, technology trend-wise: I signed up for Facebook. I can't say I completely understand its purpose in the big picture, but I'm after setting up my initial page, I'm a little bit intrigued. It's irresistible to start searching for friends, acquaintances, and even "ex'es."
I've been confused about Facebook versus MySpace for a while now, so this morning I actually did a search on that topic. One of the key distinguishing features appears to be that Facebook has opened up its platform to application development. We've even talked about taking advantage of this for OpenEco. I'm a big fan of "open-ness" (yes, the Sun Kool-aid is very tasty), since it seems to spark a lot of creativity (among other virtues).
Feels good to learn new things :)
