Hmmmmm.

I use facebook almost never, I have to say - the interface is just Way to cluttered, uploading pictures seems to me an exercise in scanning small corners of the screen for hidden icons (while icons on the main chunk are misleading), and well loads of just random shit to waste your time with (I have actually spent the most amount of time -besides working out how to put a stupid picture up- being a 'Pirate'...PLEASE don't steal my Gold you fuckers, I am looking forward to buying a crewmate and Pillaging :). Oh and the blogging tool is basically PANTS.

Also I think I have 6 friends there, 171 at myspace and counting - it's all about getting the word out there.
