For me facebook is a great place to chit-chat, and find old friends. However, as a musician I find myspace much better. I deleted my facebook page after six frustrating weeks. On myspace you can surf around, and make new friends. I've met many musicians, and bands from all over the world. Myspace is set up to promote yourself, and or, your music.
Yes - 1979 - the Lang-Ackroyd Band at the Alec Arms Hotel in beautiful downtown Lethbridge. You were wearing a blue, or purple cowboy shirt as you sat behind the steel, as I recall.
Actually, no, I can't even remember when my hair started to fall out, John. Sorry. I may have been there, but I didn't even know what a pedal steel was in those years.
Folks, not that I know anything at all about "Facebook" But yesteray morning, there was a warning, that was saying someone had hacked into them, and the site log on page, that would come up to log in on, was in fact a Frauded Site, and from there, it was sending out mail to everyone on their address book.
I felt even though I know nothing about it, I should pass that information on. It was on the news on AOL's opening page, yesterday morning.
Hope that helps someone. They did say, they were taking care of the problem, and had disabled that log in page from popping up, and they hadn't actually found it to be a virus, nor any other payloads, other than for it mass mailing from the infected computers that logged onto that site, VIA the fake log in screen.
As utterly resistible as anything else in our stoopud modern world. YouTube is monumentally more attractive, but even at that, occupies very little of my time. I'm easy for a distraction (especially at my stoopud so-called job), but myspace and facebook ain't it. I did join LinkedIn--on the strength of certain inviting parties--but I cannot complete the egomania exercise of straight-facedly filling out the profile in the way the site demands.
