After much prodding, invites, and complaints that I wasn’t on Facebook – I finally joined.

The main reason I joined? It wasn’t to stop the invites (those are easy to delete) – it was to see if it helps catch up with people as I travel.

I’ve already spent time this year in:

• NYC (4x)
• Washington DC (3x)
• Upstate NY (2x)
• Seattle (3x)
• Charlotte
• San Jose (2x)
• San Francisco
• Detrioit
• Minneapolis
• Toronto
• Las Vegas
• Phoenix
• St. Louis
• Little Rock
• New Orleans
• Miami
• Denver (2x)
• Dallas
• Boston

That I can remember. With that much traveling, it’s always good to try and have dinner, drinks, coffee, and just catch up/meet people as I travel.

Now, will social networking actually work for this purpose? I guess I’ll find out.

If you haven’t joined, or don’t know the rules, Rae has an excellent post on the Unofficial Guide to Using Facebook.
