Facebook is TIVO for friendships

A few minutes ago, a friend typed a chat message to me on Facebook. The last time I saw this friend was 6 months ago at the Game Developer’s Conference.

Before that, I can’t remember the last time I spoke with him. Has it been years?

When we chatted on Facebook, it was like we were still back making games at Westwood in Irvine, CA. He asked about my two oldest sons (he never met my youngest son and daughter) and we talked about blogs and game making.

Trying to think about how we would have talked without Facebook. Fail.

Facebook is like a magic box from a 1950’s B movie, allowing you to connect with friends across time and space.

It’s TIVO for friendships, but better because it does “time shifting” and “geo shifting”.

Powerful stuff.

What do you think?
