Facebook is sooo awesome.

Brian Cooley recently summed up my feelings about Facebook perfectly on the Buzz Report over at Cnet.

Transcribed from Brian Cooleys "What the hell?" on CNETs Buzz Report:
"I recently started seeing pink unicorns and too many martinis, so I had to quit…. Facebook! I joined the second most talked about social network, after it seemed like most of the grown up, full formed mentally balanced colleagues of mine were also doing so. I saw it as the perfect middle ground between the sewer that is Myspace, and the often dull tool that is linked in. and within hours I was getting networked.
News items about my colleagues trickled into my profile page. John wanted to know if he’s like me. Jane sent me a pink unicorn… huh? Don bought me a ‘martini’ and Jim was flinging poo at Debbie. And of course, they were all playing Scrabulous.
What the hell is this?!
Up until Facebook, these were normal interesting working pros I respected and enjoyed being in contact with. But I thought millions can’t be wrong. Yea they can, look how many bought Chevy Vegas. Now they say, face book connects us as a society. No. It reminds us that many of us never really left college, we just graduated. So I’m off Facebook. If you need to connect with me, buy me a real martini in a real bar, or just ride on over on your pink unicorn."
