High Noon: Gaining Facebook Friends

When I awoke on Saturday morning I had four or five close friends; by the end of the day I had 50. A few days later I had over 100. Yes, that’s right, after years of resistance, I finally joined the Facebook revolution. Surely it’s no coincidence that this month Facebook became the most popular Web site in North America, surpassing even monster hit generator Google. I’m pretty sure I was the site’s 400 millionth registered user, but so far I haven’t received a T-shirt or a coffee mug, nor have I been asked to appear on Good Morning America/CindyH, Washington Voices. More here.

Question: What's the best/worst thing about Facebook?
