The World According to Facebook

I'm not sure what this means, but it does make a pretty picture.  Interesting to note the countries that don't show up.

A while back I read on some blog somewhere a comment by an obviously very young man:  "Forty million people in the U.S. don't have a Facebook account.  What's wrong with these people?  Are they sick, or just crazy?"

Um, maybe they just don't want to be bothered with the damn thing, ya know?  Like your Head Trucker, who is still in awe of the miracle of email - no stamp, no envelope, no waiting.  Works for me.

Speaking of maps, it's also interesting to take a look at the hit counter globe in the sidebar here on the Blue Truck:  the red dots seem to me to indicate the intersection of gaiety, technology, wealth, and civil liberty. 

Or maybe just horniness, when you consider a fair number of visitors arrive from porn blogs and are probably looking for more of the same.  Oh well, always glad to have visitors.

I refuse to join Facebook...but I can see the day when it may be a necessity like having a phone or a SS number.

You may be right but awful thought . . . shudder. How public, like a frog.
