Guess who my latest friend is!

It's none other that MR Economics - Tyler Cowen.

OK, here's the deal. After succumbing to numerous emails saying "you have been invited by xyz to join Facebook" I gave in and registered. Then it searched my Gmail address book and invited everyone on Facebook and in my address book to "become friends with me". What this meant is that I inadvertently sent a message to Tyler, (with whom you may remember I'd communicated before) asking him for the same.

And guess what? The busy doctor condescended to spare a few moments of his busy life to click on "yes". Yay!

Here is proof for the more carping-variety of readers.
