Observations on Facebook

[chickenfeet]

I was initially very sceptical about Facebook and signed up more as an experiment than anything else. I am beginning to see some interesting features beyond the inane, if harmless, Vampires vs Werewolves type applications.

There are far, far more people on Facebook than LJ. It's thus quite a useful tool for things like event invitations and for just staying vaguely in touch with people one doesn't interact with much.

I'm also intrigued by how many people I know have connections that I had no idea about. I've run into two such just this morning. It's truly a small and rather complex world.

Scrabble. Totally addictive. 'nuff said.

I'm particularly fond of the 'iread' application.
The 'chuck a book at' is great!

The Scrabble rocks.

Yay to the Scrabble. I was talking to a friend who had just added it last night who had just seen my stats and he said "it says you lost one. What's *that* about?" referring to my game with you that was a complete rout. He's not used to me losing word games you see. That was the first game I played on facebook and it wasn't good for my ego to lose numero uno like that, but since then I have beat all comers -- including you! Woot woot! ME LOVES THE SCRABBLE!!

The boggle game is pretty fun too.
