Great comment from David Mitchell on social networking yesterday on Radio 4's comedy panel show Heresy where they were exploring "whether too many children are playing out doors and neglecting their Bebo page..."

Paraphrasing: "Making friends has always been a cottage industry. Facebook provides true industrialisaton to the process."

Brilliant - you can listen here (2nd topic, about 10 minutes in). Other topics are 'are minor Royals pointless' and 'Barbara or Margot? (from the Good Life)'.
