Twitter or Facebook?
I currently have accounts with both. Also with identica, Tumblr and Type Pad.

Regulate Facebook and ban hate sites
A cadet reporter came across a new Facebook group this week that was dedicated to denigrating a local teenager, let’s call him Joe.
Categorised under “Organizations – clubs and societies”, the group was called “People who think Joe is annoying”. There was a photo of Joe wearing his cricket club cap, with a red line drawn through his head.
The description read: “This group is for people who all agree Joe is an annoying tool.”

Facebook vanity URL
I chose mgorey for my Facebook vanity URL this morning: http://www.facebook.com/mgorey

I now have the same username for Google, Yahoo, Twitter, Skype and Facebook.
I don’t actually use Facebook much. The wall content published there is my Twitter feed. I just check in occasionally to see if I have any messages. (more…)
