Sure thing, Mithadan.

And just a friendly warning because I'm nice and paranoid and pessimistic like that:

I like everybody. We're all nice people. We're all happy, wonderful, community-oriented, kind, honest people who can trust one another. Peace, love, happiness, hugs.

Reality check: Much though we may like and trust each other, please keep close in mind just how much information you are willing to give out, especially on an open forum. Blogs are nice. My own LJ is a delicious mix of fact and fiction and I doubt anybody can actually tell for certain where to draw the line between my stories and my life because I compose carefully to keep it that way. My Xanga is pretty much where I put sonnets I secretly write when I'm supposed to be doing British Lit homework. Myspace tells even more than an average blog, if you let it. Be most careful with the comments you let get posted; it's harder to control what your friends write about you.

Facebook: not only are you releasing your favorite television shows, your favorite quotes, but you are also frequently releasing your first and last name, your school, your hometown, your course of study, your classes, your living arrangements... You name it, it's not hard to find.

I like Facebook. I lurk there when I'm bored, playing with my status, stalking my friends', and enjoying the mad photographer game. I'm currently, as it were, "not enthused about class today" and moping on a beach. The poke function is frighteningly entertaining.

Groups are an easy way to keep in touch with specific people.

Just PLEASE be careful with giving out your personal information because some people are REALLY WEIRD.

Please return to your regularly scheduled All Barrowdowners are Awesome programming.
