i guess all the HSers are like OMFG SO COOL as if they had a cooler version of Myspace finally, and I guess everyone else thinks its cool too, but all us college kids who are elitists think that this is lame because now the rest of the world gets to use it and no longer is it an elite educated community

I actually held out for the same reason. Only joined myspace for this girl I liked.
I saw everyone else on campus with fb so I figured what the hell....:D

So you'd rather have no Facebook?
why would that be the conclusion from my statement? Me being unhappy about facebook's expansion doens't necessarily mean i wish for its complete dismantling, nor does it mean i expect facebook to forcibly revert to the old system. I'm just lamenting the commercialization of a previously novel website for college students.

I think I'm too old for this sort of thing. Signed up to see what the hype was about. Tried to find a way to see if there was a high school alum network, fumbled around 5 minutes, deactivated account.

Joining the anandtech facebook group has always seemed amazingly counter productive to me.
