Yesterday I joined the ranks of Facebook. There were just too many things I was missing as a result of not having yet drank the Kool-aid. My concerns were mostly due to the wax and wane of the privacy policies and the lack of security granularity available to the users.
There are a couple of things that stand out to me. The mind boggling "friend suggestion" tool with its digital clairvoyance, and the lack of control over being tagged in photos that others have posted of you.
So you can imagine my joy when within 5 seconds afer signing up, it was suggested that I become friends with a number of people I am in close acquaintance with, and I accept a dozen friend requests that were inexplicably waiting for me already.
Well, I managed to get over that within about 10 minutes. And as it turned out, that was just long enough for a friend to tag me in a few photos...huzzah!
Well, I welcome Facebook, my new Lord and Master. I hope to be a dilligent slave to its every need and whim.
