I've never been a huge fan of community sites, but a while back I was presented with the following dilemma by an old friend: Either you create a facebook profile, or I WILL create one for you.
What was I to do? Had to create a damned profile. So off I went. Now, while I can't say Facebook has changed my life, I was actually positively surprised at the amount of people using it. Amongst them, I found a few I hadn't spoken to in far too long. Old family from the states that I've been meaning to get back in tough with for some time, but just haven't been able to find mail addresses of etc. etc.
Anywho, since I'm like... the kind of hardcore geek who frowns upon virtual bling bling, I kept my profile dull and boring. Of course that garnered quite a lot of complaints from people who thought it was... well dull and boring. So I figured... there's no such way as the golden inbetween with things like this. So I went from dull and boring to all out bling bling hyped up coked up facebooking. It's basically me installing every god forsaken widget I can get my greasy little nerd fingers on.
Took a load of tests yesterday, and installed a bunch of crap. I'm going to be the facebook mastah of teh universe!
