Just thought I'd let the readers of this blog -- a select group of discriminating taste -- know that I have signed up on Facebook. Why Facebook and not MySpace? Hmm.... Probably natural 
perversity. And the fact Facebook is headquartered about two miles from my house in downtown Palo Alto. Rooting for the home team, I guess.
After doing so, I sent an email invitation to one pal to join, too. He sent me a forlorn email reporting that Facebook told him that he had only one friend. Since I'd invited him, it had to be me and I tried out the quality versus quantity argument on him.
Anyway, there are number of mystery types as well as Silicon Valleyites who have Facebook pages. Why don't you try it out? Just follow the instructions at www.facebook.com. Be sure to invite me to be your friend via email. If you can't figure out how it all works, drop me an email and I'll invite you to join. Warning: if you follow the second path, Facebook will give you the sad news that you have only one friend.
You're the second grown up this week that has suggested a face book account. Now all I need is a teenager to show me how to actually work the thing. I am wondering if the local high schools would consider helping a middle aged non-techie out with face book a community service project.

Randi, Send me an email to [email protected] and I'll send you an invitation. It's pretty straightforward from there.
