Why for heaven's sake are you writing "FaceBook" instead of "Facebook." I will assume you are not an avid user of this so-called "Book."
[Ha! Busted. Indeed it is not practical for me to be on Facebook. I have corrected the spelling. -- Scott]
That really bugged me while reading the post, and doubly so when he didn't capitalize the M in FutureMe, which arguably deserves it.
Incidentally, there is already a site/service called FutureMe (http://www.futureme.org/). It's for sending yourself emails way off in the future. I used it once in 2006 and got the email a year later. The future wasn't at all what I had expected. Not even close.
The real futureme is a great service. I'm someone who likes the idea of a journal, but doesn't have the tenacity to actually keep one. Instead, I use futureme once a year around new years to email myself. I recap how the year went, what I accomplished and what goals are still unrealized and then I send it to myself one year into the future. I've been doing this since 2005 (received my first email in 2006) and am always anxious to get the emails and read have that one-way conversation with my younger self.
I also use it to email friends and family in the future on birthdays or other events, though to a lesser extent. I sincerely hope they stay in business for years to come.
This. Although I'd argue it's a spurious correlation -- I don't really "get" Facebook either, so it's hard for me to use it as a bellwether of being in-touch.
Scott Adams strikes me as a careful and fastidious writer; I'm wondering if there is an inside joke that I'm not getting.
