The question for me at the moment with facebook becomes why am I now  
allowed to view my old high school friend's recent friends? This is  
something totally new. I can create miles of gossip if I want.

but whose political or social agenda would want me to see this? Was  
this privacy invasion why facebook was created or a side effect of  
the main reason.

Interesting topics could be studied such as mass movements for  
instance of hockey fans clubs, or peace groups, and after studying  
some classic network theory this past term in graduate school I am  
very interested in the potential of this networking.. I guess I must  
now admit web 2.0 exists.

sorry for using your bandwidth I will check the archives now for  
facebook research previously discussed.
