I am Facebooked!

By thescian on January 6, 2008.

Yours truly has come out the rock he has been hiding under and has signed-up onto Facebook.

When I signed-up, Facebook offered a chance to surprise all those on my gmail addressbook ( selvakumar @ gmail , look me up, yo). And, I did. It also offered to send me a million dollars which I politely declined.

Clearly, I am late for the party as I see most of you are on there already. (I was in for a big surprise when I saw my sister on Facebook. It was a weird experience to have Facebook suggest my sister as a Friend whom I may know. Facebook! You socially-inept software!)

Come by and say hello to this old hack. While around, please, would the experts advice. In a moment of honest sharing I truthfully updated the 'Status Updates' ("Selvakumar is passing air"). I really need that expert advice now.

December Pieces Of My Mind
