ATW now has a Fan Page on Facebook. You can access it here...

There are already almost 300 fans and we haven't really even promoted the thing yet. If you're not on Facebook yet, you should check it out. It started as a way for college kids to connect with each other and has spread to the rest of the world. In March, Facebook moved ahead of Yahoo and Google to become the 1 most popular Website, according to tracking service Hitwise.
While it's easy to ignore a silly little website that is geared towards college kids, it's a bit harder to ignore one that has expanded out to include everyone and is the 1 most popular website on the world wide web.
What's so good about Facebook? It makes staying connected to friends easier than ever before. I have been able to connect up with friends from high school and college and previous jobs that I thought I would never see or hear from again. And it was all done with just a thought and a few clicks.
Catching up with their lives has been rewarding and now staying in touch is automated. I post something on my page and it gets posted on their updates page so they can see what's happening with me. And vice-versa too. I see what's happening with them with just a couple posts. I can browse their photos, send them a note, play silly games if I want to (I don't do that), and generally stay connected.
The down-side to Facebook is that at least for me, some of the how-to-get-there-from-here stuff is a little kludgy. I'm still looking for how to do some stuff that seems to be an obvious thing to do but isn't. I know I can read some books and watch some videos and figure out how to do those things, but really it should be a bit more intuitive in general.
