(A recent discovery: ending a tweet with #fb posts your status on FB. It's a complicated and super-interesting turn of events. I go to twitter to update my FB status now.)<br />I have been forced to start using Facebook more, though, since I started law school. My law school friends, most of whom are younger than I--in their early to mid twenties--use facebook and don't even HAVE twitter accounts. I'm pretty sure they'll get there but for now our frivolous conversations happen mostly in facebook status form. <br />Check out the 46 stages of Twitter: http://bit.ly/fPwJAAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
