I’m on facebook!
I love social networking sites, but to be honest I don’t use them that often. The only one I use frequently is LinkedIn (see my profile and connect), which is more business orientated.
I got an account on orkut as well, never used it intense.
So why facebook, why now? I knew it exists before I was able to get an account (only open for US students). So why now: because I wasn’t able back in the days, and I forgot about it. So why facebook. Basically, because I read the interview with Mark Zuckerberg in FastCompany’s previous issue. You can find a copy online, seems complete (good strategy FC!). It was an inspiring story. It’s about a guy who believes in what he does, and who identifies himself with his product (like FI). It’s about chance, vision, brains and guts. Don’t forget the guts! It’s about believing. I decided to give it a go because Mark decided not to sell his company for 1 billion dollar! I want to support this decision, show him it’s the right one by building on his numbers.
So if you’re on facebook, you can at least become my friend (search for the company “These Days“). I’m pretty pathetic with my zero friends for the moment 
I tried it out a few months ago as someone lent me an account. I especially liked the Facebook interface, which was clean and sober while still very attractive. A totally different experience from the usual social networking tools.
Most of my New York and London friends are on Facebook. Especially the last month it seems to have soared in the UK. Not that many Belgians on there.
The only thing I don;t like is that you can only be part of one region network. As a belgian in London it would be nicer to be able to be part of the London and Belgian network. Anyway, I added you as a friend
Cool, now let’s get friends in real life
