I initially became a Facebooker (Facebookie? Facepusher?) the way many people my age do: I got e-mails from a couple of grandchildren asking me to "be a friend." Mind you, it's not that my grandchildren and I aren't already friends. It's that there is so much vanity and social climbing going on with Facebook. They should call it "Mebook," because "me" is most of what it's all about. Part of the purpose of the site is to acquire bragging rights on how many "friends" you can acquire and display on your page.You send messages to real friends and to absolute strangers asking them to be sudden friends whether you have ever heard of them before or not/Bill Hall, Lewiston Tribune.

Question: What do you think of Bill's analysis of MeBook, er, Facebook?
