Do you all see that as well?<br \/>\nThat said, it&#8217;s hard to imagine a world before Facebook. Unlike email, it&#8217;s a great way for people to find other people on the Internet. I have reconnected with so many old friends\u2026 From college, high school and even before. It&#8217;s also really got my &#8216;engineering is fun&#8217; message out to so many people\u2026 Even now, I like it more than I hate it.\u2026 Even with a bunch of Farmville invites every day, Cyberstalkers, advertisements, privacy invasions, Dancing Babies, cute cat pictures, romance polls, Get-rich-quick schemes, scams, etc., etc., etc.\u2026<\/p>\n<p>It is interesting to think how social networking has really changed the way we communicate. I actually do think it&#8217;s a good force for change in the world.<br \/>\nThe fact that I can speaking (Literally) into my iPad, and have it go out to roughly 5000 people via twitter and Facebook is a really interesting Though. When in the course of human history has this been possible? Clearly never.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway\u2026 I&#8217;d like to welcome Diane to the world of social networking.
