Joining Facebook, with moderate trepidation

I gave up Myspace a couple of years ago, and my reasons were explained here.

I decided this week to go on Facebook, largely because I had been told by many that it had all the good stuff of Myspace and (mostly) none of the bad. I like the way it’s based on networks and communities.

But I really joined because the Pandagon and Feministe blogs have Facebook groups now, and that’s too good to pass up. And I found some groups for people who love John Edwards and chinchillas, and that’s cool too. (So far, not many who are really passionate about both.)

I’m assuming that I won’t regret this. But it could turn into a time-waster, and time is not something I can afford to waste.

    Hello Hugo,
    I’ve been lurking for a while, and I really enjoy your site. I found this a while ago, but the mention of chinchillas reminded me to pass it along.
