Facebook foibles

And now the tide seems to be turning against Facebook, with people moving on Twitter, Bebo, or whatever the site of the moment is, saying that "Facebook is just so last year". Well OK, when you realise that you're no longer the oldest person in your network then maybe the 'cool factor' of Facebook does start to wane.

But I for one would miss the cupcakes and inter-continental Scrabble games, along with the feeling of being in touch with old friends through their status lines. Those few words give such an insight into a person's psyche that I'm sure there will be a PhD thesis on these lines soon. From the sadness of a friend trying to sell her wedding dress on ebay (unused - her husband to be jilted her 6 weeks before the Big Day) to the daily updates on marathon training and associated painful injuries, these vignettes have become part of my daily life.

And although I won't be doing the same, please everyone don't hold back on the dodgy dancing videoclips from ski-ing holidays, ubder-bitchy comments about colleagues, or details of your latest conquest (particularly when you give such fullsome details). They really cheer up my morning coffee break.
