I joined Facebook (a networking site) basically just to keep track of my cousin at Cornell. It turns out that she isn’t very active on it these days, but a lot of the people going to CALES (my current institution here in Yemen) are very active on it. So I’ve added a bunch of contacts. Besides linking with people, you can also join groups. I’ve joined a handful like:
CALES
It’s way the fuck down Hadda (because everything here is indeed why the hell down Hadda street)
Hans Wehr is my copilot (It’s pronounced with a V, that German made the best Arabic dictionary ever)
and a few economic related ones like Marginal Revolution and the Mises Institute.
There are some groups with great names. Some of my favorites are:
I’ve made a fortress out of my folders so assholes like you can’t cheat (it shows three paper folders surrounding a piece of paper)
I’m so hot I’m almost Haraam (haraam means forbidden in Islam)
Che Guevera was a murderer and your shirt’s not cool.
There are an endless number of these things, I’m getting a real kick out of the creativity that goes into naming them. If I see anymore that I think that people should know about I’ll let you know.
