The Lost Weekend of Facebook
On Friday, at the gentle prodding of a friend, I faced the inevitable and took the Facebook plunge. For a few dizzying hours, I had the same experience that Maria Farrell observed about the social networking site: "Facebook is an opportunity to play the social game again – and lose." Indeed, setting up the site I felt a uniquely dreadful mixture of high school-level social anxiety combined with a keen awareness that I was wasting hours upon hours looking for old friends on the site. Longtime readers will be relieved to hear that I've regained my equilibrium now, thanks in no small part to Reihan Salam's Facebook advice. [So can I be make a friend request for you?--ed. Since we've never actually met, not bloody likely.] We'll now continue with regularly scheduled blogging. posted by Dan on 12.09.07 at 10:49 PMComments: Mr. Drezner, It appears your plan to dominate the media spectrum is on the rise. As you mentioned in a recent post, you reigned in NPR, bloggingheads, and Public Choice (not to mention the numerous others). And now, you are actively campaigning on facebook! Is it a coincidence that between your posting of personal “media domination” and your own “facebook debut” you were analyzing a fellow visionary of media domination?!?!?
