Sucked Into The Facebook

In case you didn't know, I've been sucked into The Facebook.  I totally avoided MySpace on purpose because when I tried to use it, I thought the interface and actual application behind it sucked donkey balls.  Seriously, it's offensively bad.  And the home pages that people came up with were often times worse, with gaudy backgrounds, and annoying music which assaulted you automatically.  Horrible... just horrible.

Facebook on the other hand is fairly clean and well designed.  I'm still having issues with how I want to handle "friends" on Facebook though.  I'm already getting requests to be "friends" with people I really don't know.  How should I handle that?  The word "friend" has actual meaning for me, and I don't like the idea of trivializing it by becoming virtual friends with people that I'm not actual friends with.  On the other hand, I could just stop over analyzing it and realize that Facebook friendship isn't meant to be real friendship.  Anyway, my profile is here if you're interested.

For now, I'm still experimenting a bit with exactly how much I want to use it, and for what, so my profile is fairly minimal.  Mostly I'm using it as a convergence zone of my other Web 2.0 activities.
