Things 18 & 19

Yep - I know I already did thing 20, but I just couldn't wait to get onto Youtube.

So I've had a look at the 'awards', and found that 'Facebook' won top award for Social Networking. Seeing as I have been 'invited' to be someones friend in Facebook, I took this opportunity to explore Facebook a bit more.

Facebook is a social networking tool, a rival to MySpace. You can set up other people in Facebook as your friends, and invite friends who aren't already in Facebook to join. You can also join networks of people in your area, who you went to school with etc. It seems to be kind of a mini network within the web. You can post messages and video onto peoples 'walls', share photos etc.

You can create photo albums that your friends can see, which is a nice feature.

You can also 'poke' friends, but I'm not really sure what this is, and the 'about' didn't tell me.

I now have 2 friends on Facebook, but I'm not really sure what to do with them...

I think a poke is a way to get someone's attention. Like waving but I suppose in somewhere as crowded as Facebook if a lot of people are waving you might not catch the attention of the person you were meaning to. So it's a poke.

Just don't ask me anything else about Facebook cause I just shared pretty much the only knowledge I have :-)
