It appears that they are upgrading—and that they'll be back soon. Or so I've heard.

Fixed, for your pleasure.

My mistake- the only users I know are teenage girls, but then I don't really know any uni students of any socioeconomic class. Except one, a 19 year old girl. She was extolling the virtues of facebook and I didn't get it.
I mock what I don't understand. It makes me feel better about myself.

Indeed you are mocking what you don't understand. As opposed to MySpace, Facebook is for people you actually know. Think of it as an advanced address-book
Out of my 256 contacts (all of which I have met in person), the average age is 26. The youngest being 16 and the oldest 55.
Heck, I use it so much that I redirected my domain to my public profile:
Facebook | Erik K Veland's Public Listing
Saves time.

In fact, here's the age distribution of my contacts:
Under 18 (1)
18 to 21 (9)
22 to 25 (65)
26 to 28 (78)
29 to 35 (20)
36 to 45 (4)
Over 46 (2)
None Listed (77)

I guess there is a lot of drama when it goes down.

Facebook is marginally better than MySpace. I do like the fact that you won't have 300 friends on Facebook, you will tend to know the people on your list.

I've got a few hundred friends on Facebook, and like Erik said, I know them all personally. Obviously some friends are a good deal closer than others, who I may have met just once or twice at parties, but still.

Facebook works for me because it allows me to effortlessly stay in touch with friends who by now have spread all over the world. Most of us met in London when we were in our twenties, most of us moved on to other cities, other countries, other continents. Facebook makes it easy to communicate.

The pose, my friend, the pose. Please tell me it's ironic*.
*I'll elaborate: There used to be a time, in the late 80's, early 90's when every single press pic of every single creative director was of the head rested in hand, looking thoughtfully into the camera kind. I am traumatized to this day.

I've just worked in an agency where some of their photos on the new website contacts page has these, it's not gone live yet so it might be jokes ones until they shoot proper ones. Then again i think some of them believe it's still the yuppie era and can dress in pinestrip shirts with white collars and cuffs with a loud tie. tragic.

I know the type. But as you can see, there's not much thoughtfulness in that pose
