Facebook seems to be a more 'teenage proof' social networking tool when compared to myspace. Every teenager creates their myspace account, uploads some hideous photos of their friends drunk at a party somewhere, and then sets about cramming as many stupid videos, images, jokes, bulletins, surveys and glittery things onto their page as they can.

As someone who has done just a little design, I can begin to appreciate the clean design of the facebook site. There will be no blaring music, stupid glittery snow falling, or twenty three slide shows all trying to hijack my computers memory, slowing my computer down so much it literally has trouble breathing. Its plain and (relatively) simple.

It also has this nifty feature that allows you to specify how each person in your facebook list is connected or related to you... which leads me to my facebook fight.

Many of you would know Mr Steve West. He apparently has been spreading the love over the past, oh lets say, 30 years or so. I know what you are thinking, Steve is still mid 20's, so how could he have been spreading his love for the past 30 years? Well, I for one will not get drawn in on specifics, but I have evidence.

You see, a huge majority of Steves contacts are listed on facebook as his 'children', either a son or daughter. I decided to add myself to the system, and become a facebook grandfather by default, simply by reversing the facebook relationship balance. No longer was I listed as Steve's son, oh no... I switched it. Now he was MY son, and I apparently had grandchildren.

But Steve fought back. In fact, this facebook battle raged back and forth for a couple of weeks, one minute I was Steve's father, the next, he was trying to claim paternal rights over me. Back and forth we struggled... Reason was -and is- on my side, as I am the older of the two, and eventually Steve admitted defeat, and listed me as his father.

Needless to say, this post may fire the facebook fight up again, seeing as though ever since Steve has been throwing food at my via the facebook food fight. I just find it funny that a virtual social engineering site can cause such a strange set of social interactions... Just thought you might like to know what is going on in my life at the moment.
