WaPo's media writer Howard Kurtz joined Facebook and seems as befuddled as the rest of us old timers. He describes his experience (30 years after last pulling on a pair of bellbottoms) and concludes that much of it is the online equivalent of just hanging out.
Facebook could have power if people use it to regularly update their activities, because of the way its news feed works, alerting you to what your "friends" are up to. I found a way to import my blog feed but for some reason my page is posting everything twice (argh! did I hit the import button twice, how do you undo that?)
The question then becomes...how many online things do we all want to update regularly? For anything to work well you have to put energy into it.
