and it has, with some folks...
which is very cool.
at the same time, though,
it seems that maybe 1 in 10 FB friends
ever turns up there very often.
Friend requests can be
a wonderful surprise...
dear hearts i probably never would
have found any other way.
or vice-versa.
like "hey- you're not dead
yet either...
cool!"

obviously, Facebook exists to gather information... and that's not just about what you or i or any one person might contribute.
the chart above, for instance,
plots out the ebb and flow
in the break-up rate in relationships,
according to Facebook postings.

how weird is that?
people seem to get issued-up when there's reports about this harvesting of information...
...which is another thing i don't get.
