faceBook is really Hot even in my 40+ high school

I don’t have to tell anyone in college, recent graduate or in the Internet/Technology business that the faceBook is really hot.  But in recent days, weeks and months it has caught speed in my 40+ high school community in Minnesota.  Meaning, the middle aged non-techies are starting to get on it in huge numbers.  And in fact, I am actually spending a lot more time on it myself.  Communicating with friends and connections of the past.  It makes one to many communication possible, and who doesn’t want to know what is going on with your friends.  This is an easy way to stay connected with close friends, and people who we like or admire.  Yes, there are people we admire or want to see more off.

There is even a trend of defriending someone, based on NY Times article of last week.  I actually had done that for the first time with someone a couple of weeks ago.  And Yes, faceBook makes that feature confidential, so you don’t have to broadcast that you are no longer friends.  On a separate note, I even heard from a friend that his SEO value of his site goes up based on his facebook fan page.  Wow, faceBook an SEO tool on top of a Social Marketing Tool?

Here is the link to the article that faceBook is HOT and will surpass MySpace in the US in upcoming quarters.  I believe it already has a higher Alexa ranking and has more users internationally I could be wrong.
