I wonder how Google will step up efforts to attract users for Google Buzz. So far I'm not impressed with GBuzz. Let the games begin! This story was trending on Twitter today. I covered it on my show http://bit.ly/btr1CS

What is Facebook? Is it something on the internet machine?

Hey, HP, that smooth little cartoon you just showed there is the Sherwin-Williams Paint logo. I'm sure they're none too happy about that.

HP has better politico-social skills than Facebook.

Thing is, I come here for politics... who wants to mix family relationships with politics? Idiots and missionaries, perhaps?

Thanks

I guess I truly am the only person on the planet with zero interest in Facebook.

Me too!!!
Had it for 2 months and couldn't care less what someone is making for dinner.
Or what your kids look like playing with a puppy in the yard.
Or joining Mafia Wars or Happy Aquarium or Yoville.
Got rid of it after noticing a lack of any interesting posts or anything that inspired my interest in anything new.
Literally a billion things under the sun and online (music, books, concerts, politics, science, etc) that could be discussed but FB users love to remain in the mundane.
Finding out FB is a DoD data mined offering to the public was the icing on the cake.
So long Facebook!!!!
I won't miss you or your dumbing down ways.
