Not that I do, or would, use Facebook myself*, but I can see what appeal it has to people. Even though Facebook has its (large and varying) share of problems, I've got quite a number of thoughts on social networks, which is one of the many things I like to explore when not writing on Haven or any of my other more prioritized projects. I can see that it would be fun for those people who
do use Facebook to use their established social structures over there to find other people to play with, and to communicate what's happening to them in-game.
That said, I for one am certainly no way, ever, going to "partner" with Facebook in order to do such a thing if that is necessary, and I don't have enough interest in Facebook to do it myself anyway. If anyone else would like to do it and need some way to extract in-game information, however, I may find myself interested.

Yes, that would be quite fun. I've been ogling the Nexus One** lately, so... :)

There are those, indeed. I don't really think that's a problem with Facebook
per se, however, but rather with people; I'd be fairly sure they display the same problems IRL. :)

I do have an account, though -- mostly for research purposes. :)

I'm really excited about the fact that it has an unlockable bootloader. It's like an OpenMoko but on real hardware and a functional OS to start hacking. /me drools.
