Facebook plots its future with developers:

Is it time for a CUK group in facebook?

I just registered with FaceBook, and it is asking for my _Yahoo_ email password to "help find friends".

What is going on there?!

It imports all your contacts and matches the emails therein to it's registered users. You can then decide who you want to invite to be your friend.

Tend to use facebook for mates and linkedin for work as it's more grown up.

It's Gordo!

Taken from an article a few weeks ago (mail on Sunday I think it was) where they published his "how to sponge off the state" manifesto from his uni days.

The Yahoo thing will search any of your existing contacts/address book for other people registered opn Facebook, it did it with my Hotmail/MSN contacts.

Jog, who is that in your Avatar? It look suspiciously like a guy I knew at Uni.

Do you know Gordon Brown?

Something to try is going outside your house, Friday or Saturday night is good. If you go to a "pub" or a "nightclub" (you might need to pay to get in) then you'll see actual real live girls and some pretty ones too. Now if you look normal and can speak (not about Just in Time compilers), then you might actually get to talk to a real girl.. then you never know what might happen!!

I'm on LinkedIn, not had much joy out of that although a pimp did phone and ask if I would be interested in a permie job once so we'll see.

Not looked on Facebook yet but it was mentioned in a BBC piece today.

It seems that there are more young women on the net than men. How long will it be then before someone registering a male nickname here will be accused of not really being a male and just another girl trolling?

[realityhack]

Yep - I'm on it - met loads of mates from different backgrounds - school, jobs, mates etc. Enjoying it so far.
On Linkedin too - not much joy out of that yet, but I do have 2 or 3 pimps in my network, plus decent contacts at my present & past clients. Yet to prove it's worth.

Anyone else here have a MySpace page? I haven't stooped that low yet

[kirk]

ai, I'm on it and myspace; kid at heart still

[NetwkSupport]

im on facebook.....will agree loads of totty on there

[Zorba]

Yes, but only for old-school-tie contacts. Both it and LinkedIn seem to be a waste of time and effort to be frank.
