Facing Facebook
by Randall McCarley
September 7th, 2007
After several conversations where people asked if I had a facebook account and I was forced to admit “no, I don’t” I have finally given into to the peer pressure and joined the facebook cult.
Check out my profile, befriend me or drop me some tips to make my facebook experience as cool as I’ve heard!
So far the signup process was very easy. But the search process is a bit cumbersome. It seems facebook really wants you to plug in your email manager and I’m not comfortable with that. Searching for individuals doesn’t seem possible as they want you to look for groups but the groups don’t include “industry” just company, education or location. Kinda short-sided IMO.
I’m still in the dark as far as the facebook culture goes but I hope to learn fast - especially if you help… maybe drop some tips in the comments bellow…

I also had a problem with using my email at first, but FB does handle that very well… It has two options for the way it uses your email. One just searches for people that are in your contact list and that have facebook accounts, so that you can add them as friends. The second one (optional), sends out invites to people from your contact list.
If you don’t want to use that, just find a couple of your friends on FB, and check their friends list… I met most of my FB friends that way, including some people I have not met in years.
