Voice 'Pokes' FaceBook.

Yes, I have started to use FaceBook. Partly because I think it will ultimately be a small business business development tool (not yet) and partly because my kids are now old enough to throw a rock at their pending 'onlife'. Figured I should know what I/they are in store for. Ironically, my motivations did not include reconnecting with long-gone friends, although I have had some nice surprises.

What I did notice about FaceBook - and many other social or business networking services - is a lack of instant communications. Not for long it seems. So many legacy and Voice 2.0 applications are no-brainers for networking. People want to connect instantly. Otherwise the urge passes. Yes, our attention span is shrinking by the day.

Well, if you read this summary on what's coming to FaceBook, the urge will no longer pass. Special mention to babyTEL, a start-up from my hometown of Montreal.

See you (and soon talk to you) online.
