Hi Gabriel,

I moved to a new location in L.A. and just got my internet back. I've been pretty busy with work as well so wasn't very active before the move as well...

Where are you Squill??

HMMMM.....If I take me off your friends list.....we will be even

This place is way too fun AND ADDICTIVE. I think there ought to be lockdown controls were a member can voluntarily lock him/herself out for a set period so they can actually get some work done.

Is that a bad idea? I think sometimes people leave online communities because they can't control themselves. I've had to before .

I see you're getting the gist of it FAST

You rascal you .

One potential friend who didn't want to do the friend thing said they thought it felt too much like a contest... I didn't know what they were talking about .

HEY, I noticed I have 14 friends and you only have 12... Na na na na na

I like it. It can be fun. Another way to kind of network and navigate.
There is also still the PM (more private option). I rarely use that. I like things out in the open. Keeps it fun.....Keep friend shopping. I am sure you will find a few....HaHa....besides the 14 you already have, I see......just drop a line or hello to any one of them, and you will probably get a response

Hey Gabriel,

You're my first message and I have no idea what I'm doing. I guess I write in here and anybody who wants can see our conversation but only the 2 of us can be in this particular exchange?

Anyway, thanks for being my friend . I want to write something up on the friends exchange thing and send it to everyone. I' m pretty swamped with work for the next week so I won't be able to write anything up yet. I didn't know about it until Gigacore asked me... that felt pretty neat. Thanks Gigacore if you happen to read this. I'll be sending you something later.

Thanks for contacting me Gabriel, what are your thoughts on the new social network stuff ? A couple of people I asked to be my friend said they aren't getting involved in it... that's cool and I can understand their reasons. Most of the others have joined in. I think it's fun!

Hi Squill.
