Followup to thefacebook.com

More news about thefacebook.com ... yesterday I wrote how it's viewed as a serious rival to Friendster. Today it turns out that thefacebook.com has received $12 million+ in venture backing. Not bad, considering it was only started a year or two ago by two Harvard undergrads!

The article also describes why thefacebook.com is so addictive, although there are some interesting comments from detractors ... for instance, it fosters cliques and is just a temporary fad for young people.

But those 4 million thefacebook.com members will turn into old people some day ... and some are already kind of old. At Harvard, it's open to alums and grad students.
