A few thoughts about Facebook...again

Facebook may be a social networking website but it's not like the other SNW:s I've seen. It's appeal is that everyone's got a profile on Facebook. So you can add all the people you went to high school with. It' s great to exchange a few words with people you haven't spoken to in 15 years. However there are not an infinite number of people you know or have known. When you have added all those people and exchanged "What have you done the last 15 years?" and "I'll look forward to hearing from you again sometime" with them a problem occur. Facebook is really not about meeting new people. You add the ones you already know, work with or are related too. It's like an advanced mailing list and once it's filled with all the people you know it's done, it's over and you start doing something else online.
