I have recently received many invitations to join facebook and finally succumbed. I already have an account on Friendster and am a relatively active user of Flickr. Facebook starts of as a social networking tool but then has many applications that do so many esoteric things. It was interesting to come across this article on BBC news about Facebook being a real time drain on work.
I am already so short of time to do things that updating the blog is time consuming. It remains to be seen if Facebook will become a true networking tool or a fad.

i started off very skeptical about facebook's potential as something useful.
it's quite a handy tool actually, if you can sort out all the crap that comes with it. it gets easier as your network builds up.
i've already made contact with a number of long lost friends on it - as to whether it will become regular contact that's another story.
At your publicity for facebook, I joined it...
...in a few minutes, I get messages from friends I have not seen from years ago...
I guess... much like a telephone... it is a platform for keeping contacts...
