Wendy Wickham summarizes the results of her experimentation with facebook. Her friends are slowly trickling onto the site, but "my attempts to use Facebook as a personal toolkit haven't worked all that well." As for me, well, the torrent of friend requests has slowed to a trickle - but that is probably because pretty much all of my friends (and loose acquaintances) have already logged on. I've had a few exchanges over it, but it is mostly now a place for professional contacts. If it hadn't started actually putting the content of the messages in the emails it sends me, I might have started blocking them by now - there's nothing more irritating than an email that tells you that you have a message on a website that you just now click on to go and see. My daily use of facebook? Almost nil.
