I agree... sort of. As someone who did not join live journal, friendster, orkut, myspace, etc, I too think Facebook is likely a fad. However, these days even I am tempted to get a Facebook and/or twitter sock puppet account, if only because more and more of social interaction is moving to them. More and more of the "Hey we'll bet at X around Y" chatter is exclusively on Facebook. And I am old enough to remember when only anti-social geeks made appointments on-line instead of IRL! I don't recall myspace or anything ever reaching the scope and popularity Facebook has. And I am starting to wonder if Facebook is in fact NOT a fad?
