I'm looking for keen mathematicians on Facebook.
Unfortunately, Facebook doesn't provide are useful tools for doing
this.
And yet Facebook has many advantages over Google Groups.
In particular, it means I can post graphs and diagrams.

So, is there anybody out there?

I never use Face Book and ignore references to it.

In addition I don't bother with sites that require
a sign up or a log in. That includes the NY Times.

Your opinions are endlessly fascinating. Tell us more!

What do you think about flavored cheesecakes?

It also has many disadvantages.

Have you considered Google Wave? No? Nor have I.

I had a Facebook account once, does that count?

Apart from that, you could probably look at some random university
math department websites and look up names.

Absolutely agreed.

Berry-flavoured cheesecakes are not too bad, but lemon cheesecakes are
very much more delicious. I have a truly marvellous demonstration of
this proposition, but I eated it.
