Great video Sarah! I like FriendFeed and Facebook. I'm adding you to my Tumblr now. :D - Daynah

Daynah- yay! Everyone- the reason I didn't list Facebook is because I made the mistake of adding too many people (people I don't know IRL) to my Facebook profile, and now most features are useless to me. Do you think those people would be offended if I moved them over to my fan page? I don't want to be a jerk, but they'd probably like that account better anyway as I plan to start adding videos there, etc. - Sarah Lane
