'Twixt such friends as we

Interesting op-ed by David Kirkpatrick (author of "The Facebook Effect") in the Washington Post this morning. He writes: “While Facebook's base still skews young, about two-thirds of its 134 million American members are older than 26. Outside the United States, Facebook's fastest growth has been among middle-age women.”

More startling, he notes without irony that “it has become so central to social life that if you are not on it -- regardless of your age -- you are probably not in very close contact with your friends.”

Is it me, or is that really kinda scary?
