I don't have a hard time saying looking at facebook for five minutes and walking away. It's a good thing it doesn't have chat functionality, or it might be a lot more dangerous.

Two quick things...
1. Urban Toronto's Facebook page now has 105 members! I know there's more of you out there!
2. There's now a "Toronto Faves" application on Facebook that one of the Torontoist people designed. You may want to add it to your profile by going here...

There were three giggly little girls, about eight years old, sitting next to me here in Fakenham library yesterday, who were on it.

Is that the fake Peckham Library?

Is there a Spam factory located in Fakenham? That would explain the name of the place.

Funny, ha, ha ha.
There's a gas museum, and the best fish and chip shop anywhere, and Tesco, a Thursday market, an old mill by the river, several mediocre pubs, a public common, a racecourse on the outskirts of town, a library with internet, a nice 14th century church overlooking the town centre ... and very little else.
Nice to visit for a couple of times a year, and nice to return home from.

Facebook mania hits 1 million in Toronto
Do you think Facebook is a fad or here to stay?

More than a million Torontonians made friends with Facebook in 2007, contributing to the "phenomenal growth" in Canadian users last year.
Toronto was the first city in North America to break 1 million subscribers, a recent study shows.
Now roughly half of Canadian web users have Facebook accounts, according to a report released yesterday by ZINC Research and Dufferin Research.
The national ongoing research study showed that the rate of Canadians subscribing to Facebook doubled in the past three months.
"Two thousand and seven is the year that Facebook took Canada by storm," said Brian Singh, managing director of ZINC Research.
In just over a year, Facebook racked up more than 7 million Canadian subscribers, who are among more than 58 million users worldwide, said Singh.
"This is phenomenal growth and there's no indication that this is slowing down soon."
Tracking showed that Facebook consistently accounted for more than three-quarters of memberships to social networking sites. The study also found that most Canadians who logged on to Facebook are between the ages of 18 to 34,
Other popular social networking sites in the study include MySpace, Bebo, Hi5 and MSNSpaces.
ZINC Research's ongoing study tracks online Canadians' interest, activity and membership in social networking sites.
This survey was conducted Nov. 19-23 and Dec. 14-19, via an online poll of 1,200 Canadians.
Ninety-three per cent of those polled said they knew about Facebook, regardless of whether they were logged on to the social networking site.
MySpace came up second with an 88 per cent rate of awareness.
The two sites have been tight competitors ever since Facebook leapt on the scene in February 2004, founded by a Harvard University student. MySpace was bought by Rupert Murdoch's News Corp. in July 2005 amid much fanfare and controversy.
The media mogul paid a total of $580 million (U.S.) for the site, which in 2005 was credited with changing the way people communicate.
