Yes you count
Also bear in mind that I am exactly twice your age, which makes me a curmudgeonly old fart resistant to change.

My son has a MySpace page, and I don't get the appeal of that one, either. It's awfully cluttered, and you can only see others' comments, and not the comments that prompted them.
Anyway, Facebook is becoming a big deal in my biz, and I've heard talk of people using it to showcase their work. That's what I signed up hoping to do, as I'd rather not send professional contacts to my personal webpage, which is in fact very personal. Color me stupid, but I don't see how it's possible!
