I've previously discussed the concept of ambient awareness, and pondered the ways in which social networking sites can either heighten or flatten human relationships. Yet still I remained hesitantly opposed to hopping on the time-sucking bandwagon we call FaceBook, until yesterday, when I read this article sent to me by my dear friend and FaceBook sucka William Kalb: "Friends...its time to drop the attitude: There is no longer any good reason to avoid Facebook. The site has crossed a threshold––it is now so widely trafficked that it's fast becoming a routine aid to social interaction, like email and antiperspirant."

Yes, ladies and gentleman, I am baffled to say that I am timidly stepping my way into the 21st century, one Facebook wall at a time...

that screenshot of your facebook profile looks almost too good to be true, like it was built in the lab for the purpose of demoing facebook at a convention. way to look awesome, as usual.
