I signed up for a Facebook account today, partially out of curiosity but also because I wanted to see what type of crossover it has with phuser, the website I’ve been developing.

I’ve been finding it quite interesting so far, there’s a cool feature where if you give Facebook your email address username and password it will go rooting about in your contacts and then show you which of them are on Facebook.

It seems better thought out than mySpace its main rival, but not as fun. Some of the concepts seem to have quite odd names. For example instead of commenting on peoples profiles you add comments to someone’s “wall”. Also I am the only one that finds the idea of “poking” people a little dodgy, check the image below to see what I mean.

Anyway I think I need to have a bit more time playing with the site before I make my mind up about but its definitely got some interesting ideas in there.
