I’m succumbed to the dark side and joined Facebook
I’ve finally got fed up with the increasing levels of crud on MySpace, and decided to investigate Facebook after being prompted by Scott, along with semi-regular nagging from members the #Freaks crowd who had already abandoned MySpace in favour of it months ago.
Facebook does allow you to search for people before you actually sign up, and I found a whole load of people I know are already members. Not just the same crowd that I had as friends on MySpace, but loads of past work colleagues, and members of my old gaming group who I’d really lost touch with since moving to Manchester.
So far I’ve got 36 friends in less that 24 hours since signing up, which doesn’t seem like bad going. And that’s all people I know, either face-to-face or online, not random strangers.
I won’t be deleting my MySpace profile quite yet, but I can’t see myself spending much time on that site except to check band’s sites for song samples and gig dates.

I was on Farcebook for a while, but got banned for supposedly overusing the wall on the GetGeorgeLambOff6Music group (dunno what the point is of the walls on groups if you can’t use them).
to be honest I don’t miss it- all the updates you get about every tiniest little thing each
friend makes, and every message they send and comment they post get annoying.

And I thought I’d be able to get a fourth bass player on my friends list!
People are starting to accuse me of being a bass groupie
