I guess I didn’t pick the best time to switch from Del.icio.us.

At least the good news is it’s all on here thanks to the weekly linklog postings. They’re just not organized in a very nice way.

So is it time to go back to del.icio.us? Where are the Microsoft/Yahoo rumours at these days? Is there a third player in the game?

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.
