Imagine my shock when I realized you were supposed to go around asking people to please be your friend! Worse than middle school. P.S. My sister's cat had around 1,500 friends on "his" MySpace page. No kidding. You should probably ignore my friend request and send one to him. I, too, was somehow talked into signing up for MySpace.

Facebook: because it mines all sorts of personal data. Myspace: because it is fugly. My local alternative is tribe.net, small and seemingly unknown.

Now everyone will know how to find horrific pictures and create out-of-context quotes from my kid sister! Which I'm sure will do something in some unknowable way at some point in the future. Oh no!

Am seconding Rax, what I 've heard about Facebook is not good. Great dress and pics thereof at Berlin! See ya at Stuttgart. You´ll be a feature, as always, in my Toons & Tunes Talk-a-thon on the Saturday morning. Love, Nik I know those “gotta gedon the MySpace Blues” I’ve been coerced into getting my MySpace page in shape, too, and am slowly complying.

Great dress and pics thereof at Berlin! See ya at Stuttgart. You´ll be a feature, as always, in my Toons & Tunes Talk-a-thon on the Saturday morning.
