by xceo37 July 9, 2009 5:31 PM PDT: Reading above makes me wonder what FACEBOOK is all about. What it appears to be to me is a place to just say what is on your mind or to insult the recipient. I got about 4 invites to join Facebook so I did. Now I just respond to the person who sends me a message. Is this what it is all about?; Like this Reply to this comment

About The Social

CNET News' Caroline McCarthy is a downtown Manhattanite who believes that, despite popular opinion, the Web can actually help your social life. She's happily addicted to fun social-media tools from Twitter to Yelp to Facebook, sends an inordinate number of text messages, and has a tendency to waste time at the office reading restaurant blogs. Here, she explores all facets of the Web's gregarious side, as well as the unique tech culture in her home city of New York. (Don't call it Silicon Alley.)
