While looking for some cool apps one day on my iPhone, I ran across a web app for Facebook.  I decided to start an account to check it out.  Then I promptly forgot about it.

Today, in my Inbox was a request to become friends on Facebook with Joe Hayes, a person I’ve barely talked to since high school.  In fact, I saw him last year for the first time since 1992.  He’s back in the area, raising a family, and still seems to be a nice guy.  (Again – he SEEMS to be.  If you know different, please email me right away!  I’ll post the details here.)

So, I spent some time updating my Facebook profile.  After putting all of the details of my life on the Net for all to enjoy, I explored the site for a while to find out why people like it.  I found it much easier to deal with than MySpace with a cleaner interface and cool mini-applications to add to my profile.  I even found a way to link my Twitter account and this blog to Facebook.  Cool stuff, indeed.

If you haven’t checked out Facebook, I’d suggest you give it a couple of minutes.  You can even add me as a friend – for a limited time only, no autograph requests please.  And I would suggest using the tools to “find friends”.  You just might find someone that you haven’t seen in, oh, 16 years.
