So just these past few days I finally got more into facebook, and I can see why some people can get addicted to it. I've been updating my account with the usual social networking data, and I've even imported my xanga blog and my youtube to it. I'm pretty much embracing facebook now and what it can do, but I don't think I'm going to be a heavy user, nor am I abandoning my xanga blog by the way. I'm most likely not going to do any of the game applications, or things that require some regular maintenance, because it's not something I'm interested in. I've also noticed that some of the apps aren't firefox friendly, so that's a bit of a bummer. I am overly impressed with what facebook has to offer though, because if it existed years ago, I probably wouldn't have found a need to create my own personal web page, get a xanga account, photobucket, youtube, etc. Facebook has done a good job in creating a format that easily allows you to represent who you are online. It's definitely better than myspace's clunky design that I never really liked, and hardly ever looked at much. There's a reason Facebook is winning the social networking "fight" against myspace.
Although I'm just now "a believer," I've actually had my facebook account for quite sometime now, except that I just never used it. This is a social networking site that encourages using your real name, which is something that I've been trying to avoid. I decided against using my real name after all and am using an alias for my account, although if you browse through my facebook closely, you will be able to figure out what it is.
