saving face

I've gone and done something slightly silly. I've joined facebook. At first, I used a nom de face (pronounced noamh duh fahss), Koa A Feline, but then decided to use my real name.

First impressions: it's fairly chaotic and while the UI is pretty enough, the use model isn't intuitively obvious. Some of my confusions:
-- Friends are at the top of the screen (with a text label), groups are at the bottom of the screen (graphic label), and Find Friends is at the bottom of the screen in faint text.
-- Click Profile at the top left to see some of your settings. Hover in the right column to edit them. Or, on the far left, under your picture, click Edit My Profile.
-- But if it's settings you're after, click in the upper right corner. Unless you're looking for another set of settings, in which case, click the other Settings button under the text field for Posts.
-- To control what you see on your "Wall," you move a bunch of sliders around, but it's not really clear what you're controlling, just that the sliders are "sensitive" (emo-sliders, anyone?)

Second impression: if the good people at Google had designed it, facebook would be a lot easier to use. But then, any old riff-raff would be using it, I suppose.

So if you're on facebook and want to friend me, feel free.

You write on my wall, I write on yours.
