I just noticed (probably late to this) that the ACBL is on facebook and twitter.

Good for them, it still won't make me use those sites any more than I have to.

Actually I find your reaction strange, that ACBL is on those sites doesn't surprise me at all. They should be.
Please let me know about any questions or interest or bug reports about GIB.

Yep, and we'll all move on to bebo when that stops being cool (if it hasn't already).

Do the people who use these sites still use words like "cool"?
... that would still not be conclusive proof, before someone wants to explain that to me as well as if I was a 5 year-old. - gwnn

Last week I said we had a demo of the new bridgemates and I thought they were cool. One opp found that remark shocking. Obviously I am too old to use that word.

Anyway, agree that facebook isn't cool, and that it's fine that ACBL is on facebook since lots of people do find facebook cool.

I don't think anybody is able to avoid aging.
