Well I have a MySpace page (hardly use it). Recently got into FaceBook (an electronic posse of long time friends set up a page looking for clues of my whereabouts), I have a Yahoo 360 page and also a blog in the blogger/Google network. If the FBI or the NSA ever wants to find me, they will have plenty of electronic leads!

Okay, I didn't want to get another online account because I can't even manage my Multiply... I got a Facebook account after reading Eric's comment. You have no idea what kind of victory this gives my friends over me.

Me too, I didn't think it was interesting. Now I find myself updating my status before doing most things.

Customizable homepages like <A target="_blank" href="http://www.my.yahoo.com/">My Yahoo!</A> and <A target="_blank" href="http://www.google.com/ig">iGoogle</A> already let you cram your favorite Web stuff onto a single page; there's also the trendy start-up <A target="_blank" href="http://www.netvibes.com/">NetVibes</A>, which <STRONG><EM>Slate</EM></STRONG>'s Reihan Salam <A href="http://www.slate.com/id/2164666/">called</A> "the ultimate mashup." But a Facebook homepage would have a huge intrinsic advantage: The social network is already built in. Sure, the other portals incorporate Gmail and BBC headlines and YouTube searches and podcast directories. By adding a social context to all of this content, however, Facebook would immediately trump its main competition. With Facebook's News Feed, it's elementary to see when your friends sign up for a new product or service. That means the best add-ons become viral instantly—Platform's biggest success story so far, a music sharing app called iLike, started growing at the rate of 200,000 users a day.</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/E23753FA-7021-447B-AE10-4550D5626689/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
