I am getting into this facebook thing. in fact I have heard that facebook is more suitable for organising text and life than myspace which I am told is more arty  f…ty! I will give it a try though.

Anyway as a lover of jollof rice I though the jollof rice society idea is excellent. I have joined and have invited my facebook buddies. (susan your membership is required! – thanks and selina too)

It has been quite straight foreward.I think the idea is quite simple. You invite some one or you get invited and through their profiles you might develop links with their friends or get back in touch with people who you might have lost contact with. It is a great networking tool.

Going from ‘friend’ to ’friends’ profiles, you can go nthrough a lot of contact. I think facebaook uses the concept of social proofing.This means all the people are linked through being friends with someone on the facebook. A sort of friend of a friend or through a friend of a friend.

I think facebook should be treated with caution in respect of privacy because it is open to be read by a lot of starngers. This is no problem if you are sensible with it but in a recent article I read the author was describing the bluring that has taken place between public and private life on these social networks. Anyway its all good I say

Myspace seems to be the dominant social networking utility.

 In addition to developing the garden, I also tried my hand at growing mushrooms. I got the spores from Homebase. I planted them on the 12 May 2007. After 14 days the soil was interwoven with very thin threads called mycellae. I always wondered how mushroom got to be the juicy things that are eaten. from the pictures I can see that they emerge as small tubes, these tubes I think become wider and turn into the dome of the mushroom. We shall see.

I am not refering to 2nd world war liberation of Paris the City. No. Paris Hilton is out of the clink and sobbing all the way to the bank. Anyway Paris Hilton is the most searched for word(s) and so a mention on a blogs makes it more visible to the search spiders!

Paris Hilton will be teaching science!
