Facebook is awesome, that is all.

Oh Soapbox, how I have abandoned you. It's not my fault. I blame the internet. And yes I see the irony in blaming the internet for me abandoning my website, but its true. Web 2.0 has provided way to many options of the time wasting variety.

First I started really getting into MySpace, to the point where I developed a theory that Tom was actually The Brain from Pinky and The Brain and MySpace was a harebrained scheme to take over the world. And like all of The Brain's schemes it was working, right up to the point where some unexpected variable throws everything off track...

Facebook, ah Facebook. This thing has gotten frigging insane. It's beginning to rival MSN Messenger for the number of friends I have on Facebook, and the thing is addictive, I'm pretty sure that Facebook uses the same agent Starbucks uses to keep people addicted to their coffee. So much happens on Facebook too, theres photos, notes, wall postings, messages, groups, etc. And, of course, like MySpace, you can view your friend's friends and add them as your own, but on Facebook you even get to see how they know them. It's like someone went; "Ok, how do people waste time on the internet? Alright, now lets take that, minus all the porn, and put it all on one website! Gee, there was a lot of porn." I know you're saying; "Well, I waste a lot of my time on gossip sites" well Facebook has that too. You can see who's going out, how serious they are, who's hooked up, etc. and all that and it comes to you in a nifty little news feed on your Facebook home page. And the experience gets even better when you use Firefox and use the Facebook extensions like the toolbar and StudioLD skin.

And as though I wasn't wasting enough time on Facebook, Stumble Upon shows up to help me waste more time. This thing is great because it allows you to choose a bunch of interests and then when you're bored you click "Stumble!" and it will present a website you might find interesting. Not that interesting? Click it again and it'll show you a new site. It makes being bored so much less work.

So now, whenever I get bored instead of ranting about high fives or bayfriends, I just click "Stumble!" or join a group to discuss Brian Fellow's Safari Planet.
