In a practical sense, you get left out of the things your friends and peers are doing. I think that’s why something like Facebook is so compelling – and so insidious.

Still have to read Hodgkinson’s piece, but I’ll get back to you (or we can talk fer reals at the next pub).

There’s also been a lot of controversy in the blogosphere about the commercialization of personal blogs–marketers targeting bloggers who are insidiously advertising their products.

My problem is, I don’t know if I could quit Facebook!
