It's been weird, but over the last week, I was asked by several friends who I'd hardly consider techies if I was on Facebook. Don't hear from them for several months, and that's their first question. I've always prided myself as the webcrawler; but here I am, witnessing others' attempts at social networking in cyberspace while I am sitting in front of my computer, obstinately refusing to cave in. Friendster was as far as I'd go, I told myself. So Twitter was turned down, as well as MySpace and FB. And now, P tells me, over a Skype chat, that I can be part of several design/theory discussion groups if I'm on FB. Well, I never! Even (now) employed PhDs are pimping themselves online. What next?
