FACEBOOK!?!?!?

Wow! Time flies... It's been a while since I've posted an entry... I hope not to have another lull like that for a while. But it's been a crazy couple of months. We are now moved into our new house, and are enjoying being close to work and friends.
But what I really want to talk about is FACEBOOK. The phenomenon that is sweeping the nation. How does something like this take off? I heard about it about a month ago, and within a month everyone and their dog is on facebook. It's the new fad. But after so much peer pressure I caved... I couldn't handle it. I joined. I know there'll be something newer and better soon enough, but for now I will enjoy connecting with people I didn't know still existed.
But I do find it quite fascinating how something becomes the "new thing". How we all bite into it, and get on it... and it multiplies. How does that happen? What is it that makes something so immediately successful and the masses just flock to it. I did. did you? share your thoughts...
