Default OT - FB silliness

The "Wall" posts seem to be the more interesting activity for me thus
far; but as you say, none of the Groups seem to be that active or
interesting (not that I've done anything about it.)


I don't think many of my generation and
inclinations are on FB ( except those that are already here or on other
boards,)


Since I joined, I've been noticing a few more of my older
acquaintances popping up as new members; but the jury is still out on
their active participation. There does seem to be a "critical mass"
of friends with similar interests that is needed to keep it from being
the same old. I think SWMBO would like FB, but her friends &
relatives aren't much for this 21st century stuff, so there's nothing
there for her. Among the kids I know, FB is not widely accepted as
"hip". Apparently MySpace is where it's at with that generation.
