What is Facebook for?

Wednesday, 13th June 2007

I was invited by a friend to join Facebook yesterday, so I did. Try anything, I will. Now I might be one of those new-fangled blogger types, and I might be able to file via my Blackberry (although somewhat cack-handedly). But really, I have not the least idea what the point of Facebook is, other than to fritter away half the day looking at friends of friends and saying to yourself, 'oh, he knows her'.

Am I missing something? Or is that it?

UPDATE: It's clearly a Spectator thing to do at the moment.

Yup, that's it. Of course you can always give people a good poking as well, if necessary.
