did anyone see the movie by the way "The Social Network"
there is a brief appearance in it of Peter Thiel, played by Wallace Lanham, the libertarian gay venture capitalist who gave them the 500,000 angel investment that allowed them to become a real enterprise (for only 7% or so of their stock)
He and Zuckerberg and his lawyers seem to be the ones who duped the Harvard kid who had invested the original $19,000 in signing aay basically 50% of his stock for 0.3%
Of course the 0.3% after their investment may have been worth more than the 50% he had before
And he could have read what he was signing
Still it is a cautionary tale

facebook isnt primarily for kids
it started out open only to ivy league students
then added the colleges
in dc and many cities it is used by young and middle aged professionals instead of linked in or the phone or email
only twitter is as popular

--Please don't misunderstand, I do not find Facebook to be the phenomenon my kids apparently believe it to be but it can be useful and you can make it work for you.
A few examples:
I am interested in the progress of the North American Black Bear Lily and her cub (born on webcam live on the Internet) Hope. The researchers post daily updates on Lily's Facebook page and those updates appear on my wall each morning.
A dear friend, a Miami based attorney, lets us all know via Facebook when he will appear on Fox or HLN so we can watch him commenting on various cases (and then we can argue with his conclusions LOL).
Richard Hornsby, an Orlando based attorney, posts updates on various issues related to the Casey Anthony case. Hornsby's updates are so important to me I have them texted to my phone.
My niece on a Navy ship somewhere near Bahrain keeps the family updated on all her activities.
The list goes on and on and it is all on one page called your "wall". I don't need to tell you how useful Facebook and Twitter can be to political candidates.
You guys (Keith and Greg) need to work with it for a while. It is not all about Aunt Ethel's sciatica. You certainly must have other interests online other than sitting around on a political forum arguing with feckless twats like Tommy and Studio. <yawn> The days of the political group are fading fast. Most news sites have "Comments" section now with a narrow focus as opposed to the free for all "groups" 'free speech' concept. This is the last group where I am still a member but truthfully the BS on both sides here makes me sick. Go out and do something! Get some air FCS!!!
CW <love you guys but you make me sick>

Ditto Greg,
I had no clue what the purpose of Facebook was, and then, I became addicted to Mafia Wars. I have got past that, "Addiction" and don't play it anymore......I am back at wondering what the Hell one does on Facebook. I see nothing redeeming about it, and it is a waste of time.
