I dunno, what do you think?

I've had multiple people lately ask me if I'm on Facebook. I am slightly dubious about committing even more time to yet another website, but the other side of that is keeping in touch with people I don't see that often. And as far as my vague understanding goes, it's not like you have to commit to continually adding content, like a blog.

Also, I have foolishly committed myself to putting together a workshop on libraries and social networking tools and having a passing familiarity with the whole MySpace-Facebook thing would be good. But do I need to actually do it myself?

So, flist, what do you guys think about Facebook?

Some of my coworkers are on Facebook. To me, it looks sort of goofy--skewed young and more like a game than journaling or blogging.

There's almost no emphasis on text, and people do goofy things like send each other virtual drinks and... I dunno. I didn't think it looked like it was worth my time.

I wonder if that's part of the appeal, that unlike a blog or such you don't have to DO anything with it.
