My first 24 hours on Facebook
I’ve had a few emails from friends asking to join Facebook over the weeks but have pretty much ignored them and put off signing up to Facebook. However I had a few minutes spare yesterday afternoon so thought I would sign up. And was glad I did! The best way to describe it is that its a bit like MySpace but better. It offers far more ways to interact with your friends/colleagues and is cleaner, and easy to use. What really impressed me is that you just type in your AIM/MSN Messenger etc details when you start up and it automatically adds your contacts to Facebook. So within minutes I had loads of friends signed up, very cool.
I’m not going to go into a big detailed review here as I can’t be bothered and you should just sign up for yourself. But another thing that really stood out is that a high percentage of contacts that have their photos in their profile, which I don’t think happens as much in MySpace. This got me to thinking that some of my new found Facebook friends have some really cool photos in their profile, here’s a selection….
This is Collette. Collette I promise never to complain if an invoice is late again 
This is Clarke, thinking he’s in ER.
This is Graham, anybody would think he’s a new Dad or something.
This is Elena, doing some sort of wetsuit modelling or something.
This is Hayley “working”.
This is Chris, back in the days when he used to be a catalogue model for C&A.
This is Renee. Next time you attend a fancy dress party, please let me know Renee.
So there you go, some great reasons to join Facebook!

[...] I finally sign up to Facebook. [...]
Welcome to my blog. My name is Kieron Donoghue and I am the founder of ShareMyPlaylists.com, ContentNow.co.uk and some other businesses. I thought it would be fun to blog, writing about my experiences in Internet Marketing. I'll include some personal stuff too, probably about my other passions, music and cars. Please feel free to post your comments and thoughts too.
That’s it mate, you’ll be addicted now.. Clarke’ll be stalking you, tagging you in photos at every opportunity.. p.s. watch out for that Sylar bloke - He looks a bit dodgy
I second this post - I joined facebook about a week ago, but really started using it yesterday and before I knew i’d spent more time on facebook than my site *eek*
It’s all downhill from here - you will not be able to escape the clutches of facebook now!!!
Facebook is an interesting site, people use it for work and social contacts with some interesting results. I now know several people with 2 facebook accounts just to that there weekends photos won’t get out to the work audience.
Any chance I can be friends with Collette too
Have to agree, I think I joined facebook at the same time as you Kieron, having never bothered with Myspace I wasn’t that interested but think it’s actually pretty cool site to be honest.
I’ve just added you Kieron!
