This appeared on my wall today.

Facebook now supports international phone numbers for verification. Verifying your account will eliminate the security captchas (words in the box) you see when poking, messaging, or sending friend requests.

Verify your account by confirming your mobile phone.
Has anyone actually given their mobile number? Seems common sense to me.

Poking, biting, vampires, zombies, throwing sheep, etc.... I really dont see the point in it and sorry to all for ignoring your requests.

Catching up with people you haven't seen for years and what your friends are up to when they should be working fine.... excellent even... but I could do with out the bollox.

Anyone agree?

Yes I joined because a friend really wanted me to (even though she never bothered with MSN although she knew I was often online).

I think it is good for sharing photos but I agree that alot of it is pretty juvenile, sending drinks and sharing quizzes bla bla.

Having said that it has got me back in touch with some people I hadn't heard from in a long time.

I think it is very much the craze of the moment and people will tire of it after a year or two.
