But i suppose the privacy of facebook - the walled garden nature of it all - is facebook's key differentiator. That's why many of my more privacy loving friends signed up to FB but never got onto myspace - some people just aren't exhibitionists, and myspace is heaven for exhibitionists :) Definitely agree – it’d be nice to have an option to make your profile more public.

At any rate, while I was there, it seemed like a good idea to send you an invitation to be friends. Thanks.

Anyway, if you want to catch up with Scoble you could probably do it by posting on TechCrunch, but given the quality of the comments lately I'm not sure you'd want most of them as your friends! :) I agree, and this is one of the reasons I’ve always said I prefer MySpace to Facebook, at least on a social level (if not for the ghastly designs!) .. simply because you can be nosy, look at your friends’ friends’ profiles, hear people’s music, and get a better feel for who people are, rather than the clerical telephone directory style of Facebook.
