Facebook, anyone?

[llamabeast]

I like Facebook. I appreciate that it represents Commercial Evil, but I also find it enormously helpful day to day. I think that's because I'm still at university, and every single person here is on it, pretty much. That means if I meet someone and get their surname off them (or even just know the name of one of their friends), I can look them up when I get home and then be able to contact them in future.

However, I don't feel a particular desperation to join a Shrapnel group on Facebook. I evangelize the game plenty in real life, but somehow I don't see any of my friends getting into Dominions via my Facebook page.

Facebook = evil

Personally, I'm just too old for Facebook. It is a very age specific phenomenon that is hugely popular with people that are probably a little younger than the average Dom 3 player. 99% of college kids I know use it, and almost no one older than ~26 that I know uses it. So Annette, I say go for it and don't listen to these old codgers. Oh, and please get off my lawn you damn kids.

I doubt you're too old. More likely you don't care much about fashion and/or latest fads. Many people will pursue latests fads if they perceive them as means to becoming popular. Social networking sites are primarily about showing off and smile police. I like last.fm because 1) it respects my privacy 2) it has a clearly defined goal. It's focused on discovering music.

How terrifyingly accurate

I don't think existing members on this forum should join the facebook unless they already own an account on facebook since your information is sold. I don't use or ever plan on using facebook, but this advertising might bring us a few new members.

Agreed. My original post was simply a request that if anyone here is already using facebook to please visit our page and become a "fan".
