Would you screen Facebook's calls?

Yesterday's post started a discussion between a friend and I about what Facebook would be like if it was an actual person.

First, we concluded that Facebook would be a woman. Sorry to perpetuate gender stereotypes, but no social networking site could be personified as a man unless it was about sex and/or gadgets and/or cars. (Although Twitter could be an exception, with its inability to listen for more than 140 characters).

So obviously, Facebook would be the nosey type. And oh, the gossip! She would be a terrible, yet extremely persistent, matchmaker. And she would keep reminding you of things you want to forget ever happened. But the worst part is that you would find yourself staying friends with her anyway.

On second thought, Facebook could be a man. But only if it was Perez Hilton.

PS. Quick shout out to the unfailingly witty AK whose comments inspired this post, and who will hopefully write a guest post soon!
