Meta. Quite. I'd leave the boring stuff to the academics, Ros. Can't you go and have another poke at the rotting carcass of Dave Cameron's Tory revival, Eh? Ah yes. Meta. Quite.

Yeah, I'm a member of facebook, and yeah, it's a phenomenon (etc.) and the media never shuts up about it... And, if I'm honest, I actually feel for you guys at this time of year. I have nothing to write about so I don't blog; you, I guess, don't have that choice. The irony is, on this 'worthless' subject, I actually commented myself. The blogosphere has come to something when it's feeding of the MSM's silly season output, eh? Hi Ros, thanks for dropping by.

But wouldn't you say a website on which millions of individuals are tempted to spend many millions of hours is worth a bit of analysis? The media's always on about Facebook, but I don't think enough attention has been paid to exactly why it's so popular... Naturally.
