Measuring a year in 'facebook'

Like it, love it or hate it, facebook and friends have had a massive impact on most of our lives. I'm not one to make conclusive statements about things that have the potential to swing any which way but I get the feeling that 2009 might just have been the year when I used and abused facebook to the 'fullest'. De donc, I'm going to capture my 2009 in facebook status messages from end to beginning.

A few conclusions
