back in the day i used a variety of search engines to look things up on the net.
now google reigns.
in fact it is now normal to simply say "google it" and be understood.

a similar phenomena is hitting new zealand shores.
its called facebook.

i would like to think that i have in some way helped in the planting of facebook in new zealand. maybe this is too extreme of an opinion to hold in public internet space. you have to be careful these days.

still, this time last year facebook was rarely talked about.
however since the start of this year, and incidentally just after i jumped into this new virtual world, the people of new zealand started to sign up.

facebook (www.facebook.com) is addictive. its fun. it quite possibly could be run by a secret society planning on taking over the world. nevertheless it does explain a little about my lack of commitment to blogger as facebook has become my new photo album and my new chatting space.

what will "they" ("they" being the unknown fuzzy group of people/robots/dolphins) think up next? if i knew, id obviously be part of them. so thats obviously a rhetorical question.
