**EDIT** 16 January: Jonathan Ross has now left Facebook.
There’s been a lot of Jonathan Ross here recently. It went from me criticising his company’s YouTube policy, to him emailing me to explain their position, to me saying that position sucks, to him, personally, changing their policy, to everyone thinking that he rules and is a lovely geek.
He’s now joined Facebook. Think Wossy can outdo Fry’s Facebook-friendship madness? Go on, let’s try… befriend him.
Befriended. Now will JR have to resort to a proxy friendship group too though? I suppose it depends on whether the BBC decide to follow up and out him as a Facebooker too.
Also befriended. As have a couple of people who work with me who tell me he responds quickly to messages… Well he does at the moment, until he gets a Stephen Fry flood.
Also added. Now… has anyone actually posted a comment or sent a message and received a reply from him?
Yes, I have. It actually is him… or at least the person who emailed me about the Hotsauce TV stuff. And as videos from his show are still up on YouTube I can only assume it’s actually him.
You had Stephen Fry but no that wasn’t enough for you! JR was my special celebrity friend and now you’re guiding everyone there with your fame obsession! ;O)
Heh. I’m actually fascinated by the rapid destruction of ‘barriers’ w Facebook. There are loads of well-known people on Facebook who are voluntarily bursting their ‘Cleb Bubble’ by being there. I think it takes a brave person who is at Stephen Fry’s or Jonathan Ross’s level of ‘fame’ to go on there and just *be*…
Feel that JR is a celebrity with his feet firmly on the ground. Can’t understand why it’s necessary for anybody to undermine him just because he wants to *BE*. If he chooses to reply to messages then he also has the choice of NOT replying to messages. Are people being sycophantic? Even celebs are allowed the opportunity to live a normal life.
Who’s been undermining JR?
Love your blog.
Heard Jonathon Ross on the radio at the weekend talk about how he has about seven games of scrabble on the go at facebook.
He and his wife even play scrabble over facebook when they are both in the house. One upstairs, the other down.
He did say he gets annoyed though when his wife beats him with high scores from words like
erk
um
splurk
when he gets less for words like fabulous and delicious.
Heh. I purposely not accepted any of the Scrabulous invites I’ve got. It seems that everyone to succumbs gets very obsessed with it. I need *fewer* things in my life to do, not more. :)
I’ve just asked to be his friend, we’ll see what happens. Thanks for the link to his profile, was too dumb/lazy to find it myself :o/
