			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Folks, whilst I think of this, you may want to check out <a title="Listen Again to The Accidental Billionaires" href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00lv0zf" target="_blank">this page</a> on the BBC&#8217;s web site. They are serialising <a title="The Accidental Billionaires by Ben Mezrich" href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002FQOHW4?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=rogblog-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=B002FQOHW4" target="_blank">The Accidental Billionaires</a><img style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=rogblog-20&amp;l=as2&amp;o=1&amp;a=B002FQOHW4" border="0" alt="" width="1" height="1" /> by Ben Mezrich as their Book Of The Week &#8211; this details the controversial and apparently highly contested origins of the social networking site Facebook.</p>
<p>As a newb to Facebook, I am finding this fascinating. I must admit that I didn&#8217;t realise that this was another internet phenomenon that started with a couple of students, though I guess I shouldn&#8217;t be surprised ! (And because of that, nor should I be surprised that it seems that the initial creation of what became Facebook was driven by a desire to connect with the opposite sex !)</p>
<p>In the UK at least, you can <a title="Listen Again to The Accidental Billionaires" href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00lv0zf" target="_blank">&#8220;listen again&#8221;</a> for about a week after each broadcast, so if you&#8217;re interested, be quick ! I&#8217;m not sure if this facility is available to those elsewhere in the world &#8211; see where the link takes you.</p>
<p>More later &#8230;</p>
