Anti-social networking

// May 28th, 2007 // Personal

So…. despite my better judgement, and following some lobbying from Sian, ‘It’s like MySpace, but the grownups got their first’.. I joined Facebook.

Can I find anyone? No. Their search interface sucks. Following links from the ‘Please add me as a friend’ people have emailed me, forces me to log out of the site, and then the login in takes me to the home page, so I can’t click the ‘Add this person’ link.

MySpace for adults my arse. What a steaming pile of poo.

If you are on facebook, (God help you) send me an email and tell me how to find you. At this rate, I’m just gonna jack the whole thing in and remove my account.

Humpf.

(Gets off soap box and goes back to work)

Edit: Yay! Barny has found me.. so now I have one official friend.

    ahh… bless… is this shiny new technology too much for you…? Don’t worry, I can show you how facebook works on Friday!

    Does it concern you that you can’t use a website that middle-aged, BBC Radio 4 journalists can use…?!

    Actually, he struggles to find his friends as well – so hard in fact, he gives up.

    Not really a ringing endorsement, is it?

    I know, but within half an hour of that article coming out, a group was started called “friends of Rory Cellan-Jones” just to make it easier for him!
