I, for a very silly reason (I never got around to resetting my password), hadn’t logged in to Facebook at all during the past six months. Things I had missed out on during that time span:
- An explosion in the site’s popularity; I guess this isn’t terribly surprising, as (nearly) every college/university in the county is now on the site. Even though my account was all but dead, 10 people had added me as friends.
- Apparently, Facebook now also doubles as a hook-up/dating service. (Note to self: put up that “sexy album” I’ve been keeping in reserve.)
My obliviousness to broad social trends marches on. Finally, if I know you, and you haven’t added me as a friend yet, I encourage you to do so.
