I’ve found a new toy to occupy my time… facebook.com. I joined back in Nov, 2006, when they opened their doors to the public. I heard a lot of MySpace people were migrating to Facebook, and I wanted to see what the big deal was. Well, not a whole lot was going on at the time.
But only just a week or two ago, friend requests started trickling in from old school chums I hadn’t seen in 10 – 15 years! Now I’ve got several dozen people on there that I’ve either gone to school with or worked with, and it’s starting to feel like it’s building to a critical mass. Give it a try!
As I write this, faceborg.com is still untaken for those with a sense of humour.

Well, that took all of 1 day. Kudos to you, Internet!
Damn! I was hoping that *I* had coined the term “faceborg”, but you beat me to it.
You win this round, Bob Maquire.
I also believe I coined the term Sunderfox, but it doesn’t look like that ever took off.
I hoped I was the first, but that is quite difficult usually. I started noticing people were posting status like “no status to report” or “wondering what I should say for my status” and thought those were truly assimilated in to Facebook, they were the true Faceborg. So I started commenting on their status with “We are Faceborg. You have been assimilated. Resistance was futile. You must now post to the collective.”
Never really caught on, though. I thought it was brilliant. Yay me.
