I canNOT believe I got sucked into this Facebook deliria recently by my staff (all of whom are young, giggly, chika girls under thirty). First they 'invited' me. And then I invited a few...and then I got bolder and clicked on my entire address book, asking (begging?) each one to "be my friend" - I finally got the hang of it and started inviting friends of friends.. of friends. Over the past few days I've given and received hatching eggs, beads, beer, cosmopolitans, flowers and a beautiful christmas tree, complete with 'Feliz Navidad' in the background. Just this evening I spent 60 minutes doing the most inane, brainless things- I threw a cow at my nephew in Boston, a chicken at my niece and my daughter, and I found out what my stripper name was (Cindy Harleythighs, I am told).I am not into this for the sheer shallow pleasure of it (although that's a welcome by-product); I am honestly trying to do some investigative surfing, clicking and cow-throwing to find out WHY Bill Gates has, over the past two weeks, decided to pump in $500 million for a 5% stake in this social networking phenomenon... yes folks, Facebook is now valued at TEN BILLION DOLLARS. Microsoft and Google are nag-aagawan daw over this.
So, excuse me while I go back to my cow throwing... There just HAS to be a fraction of that moo-lah in there somehow (cute pun! hehe).. http://www.facebook.com/
P.S. In case you're wondering, that eye picture you see is the "bumper sticker" in my Facebook profile.
