Just to throw in my two cents, I love facebook, but I don't add
people that I do not know or have never heard of. I used to have a
myspace account but I deleted it because it got to the point where
nobody I knew was using it anymore. Facebook is much more efficient
and just in terms of aesthetics, it looks nicer. I enjoy keeping in
touch with both old and new friends, and keeping people posted on
what's going on with me. I've never used twitter but I've heard good
things about it. For those of you who want to use facebook for
business purposes, I'm not sure how successful that would be because
most of the people who would "add" you are people that probably
already know about your services anyway. It might be worth a shot
though.

I'm liking it more and more. This summer all my high school
friends and I found each other and now we're planning our reunion
next summer. My grandson plays Farmville with his mom (and the guy
who lived across the street from me when we were kids, Scott) while
she waits for class (she's working ft and taking 6 classes, so
she's never around this year) and between that and talking to that
little camera in the computer, they're good. Actually, I'm sure
Scott thinks those pigs and cows are from me; wait til he hears
he's been exchanging livestock with with my grandson! LOL!!!
(Scott and I locked braces when I was 15, and my parents opened the
front door in time to see us trying to squirm apart!)
Also, Aiden's godmother is pregnant and posts all the ultrasounds
on fb, so you don't have to wait for a visit. I have my privacy
settings set that way, as well.

I love facebook. Through this site, our entire extended family
keeps in touch daily. We even used it to send out the daily
medical status when Granny broke her arm...and those messages
went coast to coast. We like the fact that facebook has privacy
settings for photo albums, and we set them to "friends only."
As for unwanted friend requests, just click on "ignore" and
poof, they are gone.
Even better:
1. I have received so many postings from my former students who,
being in touch with eachother,were able to find me. Now they write
and tell me how much they loved my class, what they remember from
those third grade days, and more. I have already met with one of
them for lunch. Some of their parents are also on facebook and
they have asked to be my fb friend as well. I would have never
known how many students - now adults, some married - think so
fondly of me....I treasure those "you were my favorite teacher
ever" messages!!! I would have never known without Facebook,
since these kids have spread out all over the world.
2. I have reconnected with high school friends with whom I have
not spoken for over 43 years!! Our neighborhood literally
emptied out the year after graduation, and we were scattered to
the four winds with no way to find each other. We meet for lunch,
breakfast, and communicate daily on fb. It is like study hall all
over again, but with no detentions for passing notes!!!!
3. Speaking of the neighborhood, I have reconnected with the girl
I lived next door to for 14 years growing up. She lives,
ironically, 20 minutes away!!! Thank you Facebook!!! We now meet
regularly and even take knitting classes together.
4.Let's not forget college. Pals from both undergrad and grad
schools are there and we also communicate regularly and share
photos. My roommate lives in Connecticut and, pardon the pun, we
have connected! It is awesome!!
5. Current friends and I post very very often (sometimes daily) so
we all know what we are up to all the time!! Sure beats writing
those dreaded "aren't I wonderful?!" once-a-year Christmas
letters that are so annoying......................on fb we just
share daily events and life and it is what it is. We also use the
message inbox function to make plans,etc.
My kids love Facebook because I am the family photographer and I
can post tons and tons of photos...which previously would clog up
their inboxes when I would mail them. Now they can view them when
ready and so forth.
Does it take a lot of time? Yes. But far less than it would to
try and reach all of the people in my life who have meant so much
to me over the years in the different phases and locations of my
life. I check it each morning and before bed..and sometimes in
between or on my cel.
Love it, love it, love it.
