i see facebook as a kind of moving collage. i don't put up much of anything about my actual life there and don't have that many people amongst my friends who do--some choose to and that's fine--i just don't. i'm more interested in the collage aspect of it, and even then for short periods at a time. it pays to have friends who are interested in curious things if that's how you see the medium. and it is the case that you do get to know stuff about the folk in your network by way of what they're thinking about--i just think it's more interesting when what folk are thinking about is not exactly what they happen to be doing when they open up the browser. but whatever, it doesn't matter...facebook doesn't seem to me something worth taking terribly seriously.

i am friends with 3 of my nephews. mostly what i've learned about them specifically from facebook is that they don' know how to spell.

that said, it seems an interesting promotional space if what you're promoting is symmetrical with the way the place works--a kind of 2-space network. it makes sense to me that tfo would have a presence there---i was a little confused before because i thought there already were presences.

i should say that i'm sympathetic to the qualms folk have expressed above about blurring lines between versions of themselves and i can imagine sharing them in the kind of situations they describe.

You're telling me that federal law enforcement agencies are foiled by that? I find it hard to believe.

Well I fanned you, TFP. I have that much love.

The TFP is the ONLY "fannee" that I worship on Facebook.

There's also the point that some people might not want their colleagues looking on here and reading about how much they enjoy G-spot orgasms or anal sex. Not that it's anything to be ashamed of, but you choose the people you share that sort of thing with.

Yeah. That was kinds what I was getting at when this whole thing started. I think that most people have a tendancy to compartmentalize their lives. This could be akin to accidentaly hitting the dreaded "Reply All" button on that risque e-mail.

I just added a new mod that will allow one to connect via their facebook, google friend, aim, yahoo, openID, and netlog to register, or even logon and connect their account.

you can also catch the tfp application on facebook.

I am a fan of tfp, but not so much of facebook. I have facebook but am rarely on it. I also do not want anyone who I know in real life to know about TFP because I can say stuff on here I don't want people in real life to always know. I am greedy and I want TFP all to myself!

Sorry Hal
