On Saturday, the Norwegian online newspaper aftenposten.no had an article basically telling people to be more careful about what they expose on Facebook. Because, as it says, maybe your potential employer might check out your facebook profile first. This kind of paranoia for the publication of that party picture from 2003 is pretty old, in my opinion, but I guess it is important that the general masses is still aware of the risk.

Myself, I had not properly taken notice of Facebook before I read about it on jill/txt a few months ago. Here Jill Walker also writes the fact: Facebook is the first social network to Really hit it in Norway. Today there are close to 250.000 Norwegian users on it, according to the Aftenposten article.

As with blogging, videoblogging, opml and twitter, I am interested in what possible implications of this can be. What could the popularity of Facebook, in Norway and elsewhere, mean? What can it do for the growth of the civil society? How can we use these networks to do things we could not do before? Things that has more importance than writing on each other’s wall about how good/bad the last Hollywood flick was.

Here is my public Facebook profile - feel free to add me if you have not already done it. Who knows where this may lead.
