Actually, I’ve had my facebook account since long time ago. However, I hadn’t submit my appropriate profile, picture, and supporting application until two weeks ago. At that time, my friend invited me to play scrabble there. I was quite perplexed. Yes. It had never flashed into my mind playing a game online through a social network group like that.
I’ve been an active multiplyer since one and a half year ago. But I used it only for posting my writings and commenting my friends’ writings and pictures. I was once very interested in friendster, but then I quit it because I didn’t find any challenges and because its blog is full of ads (yeah, I considered friendster’s blogs the new generation of geocities. With facebook, I find maybe unlimited challenges with editable and addable and reducable applications and games.
One cute thing I can find there is an application called business card. Well, it’s basically a business card, but it’s an electronic one. You can choose the theme and fonts and the information. And, quite interestingly, you can attach it in your messages (well, just like any other social networking groups in the internet, you can send messages) so you can remind your friend of your professions and expertise and all.
Besides, it also has a feature similar to YM’s status message so that your friends know your present status. In my case, my present status is “not just putting out fires, but also searching for other professional hotspots”. Cool, right?
Btw, this is my facebook.
