Facebook (the internet community site) officially passed what arbiters of cool referred to as its “freshness date” early this afternoon. Signs point to one James Enge as the responsible party. “Him joining was just sort of the tipping point for me,” said one of many anonymous hipsters fleeing from the site never to return. The site is expected to shut down shortly due to terminal twelve-minute-ago-ness. Enge, when reached for comment, was too confused to respond coherently. “What’s a ‘wall’? Does someone really have to be my friend to be my ‘friend’? Why do I have to make comments in that illeistic manner?” No one knew what he was talking about.

Meta
Amusingly enough, I just joined today, too. I expect a brand-new paradigm for social networking to open up within moments in response.
I do my bit for cultural advancement by making cool things obsolete. That’s my story, anyway…
Ah, an excellent solution. You go were I will not follow, so I won’t be able to read you, but you’ll still be able to write. Well done!

I don’t know how often I’ll be on Facebook, as I find the interface baffling. I’m still trying to figure out a way to funnel my blog over there…
Send me a friend request – I’m not sure which of the James Enges you are!
Done!
Now I’m wondering how many of the friend reqs I’ve gotten have been intended for some other James Enge…
Me too! Although, I don’t really use the thing much. I prefer LJ.
I should be doing this as well, but am too much of a neanderthal.
I’m still not sure if the time-spent/benefit-reaped ratio works out to my advantage. But it’s been an interesting afternoon, anyway.
It had to liven up the dinner-table conversation. “Hey, kids! Your dad’s hip!”

I don’t get Facebook either, nice to ‘friend’ you though (and such a joy to verbatize nouns).
But really, it’s a bit of a mess over there, isn’t it?
Amen to all that. “Verbing weirds language” as Calvin used to say to Hobbes.
