501 Facebook Friends

No, it’s not the an HTML Error code, it’s the number of Facebook Friends I now have, which reached 500 earlier this week. Not a big deal, Robert Scoble (@scoblizer) has over 5,000 Friends, and 20,000+ Twitter Followers – I’m late in this game, the early adopters, who have a large network have really leveraged [...]

Tweetup in the East Village – June 12th, 2008
