It's all about the fb

Wow, it's been ages since I've posted! And it's not because of lack of access - because our work firewall has mysteriously disappeared, and I now have my own brand new beautiful iMac at home in my bedroom. The reason I haven't been blogging, the one reason that I haven't been posting is... is... well, it's facebook.

Facebook!

The social interaction tool. It's the thinking persons myspace ;-) Well, whatever, I'm totally hooked on it. Have you seen it? Check it out here if not. The greatest thing about fb so far? I've gotten to reconnect with so many people who I'd lost for so long! Great people from school, lovely people from London, those crazy people who have moved to different countries than me, now I have access to them all again! Well, as long as they've joined up on fb that is. When I first started on there it was mostly Londoners, but after an extensive ground roots PR campaign by myself, I'm finding more and more of my Sydney friends joining up too, which is great.

I've added a little fb badge on the right hand side of my blog. I'm enjoying updating the profile pics regularly - especially since my luverly iMac has photo booth on it and I can snap pics of myself all the livelong day!

One of my other fave things on fb is that you get to put your status on there. You get started off with your name, like this "Amy is..." and you fill in the rest. Now, it does make you talk about yourself in the 3rd person, but you may remember that that is actually a favourite thing of mine to do! It's fun seeing the silly things that people put up there too. Here's a random snapshot of some of my friends status updates right now:
