Me three.

Twitter has less of an appeal to me than Facebook, but mostly because I don't have time to be active on both sites. The BEST thing I ever did on Facebook was to learn how to hide certain people's updates. While I might love being in contact with an old friend from college - I do NOT need to know that she is thinking about having a burrito or that her dog smiled at her every step of the way. I just removed her 'updates' so that I don't have to see them. I can always go to her profile and view them on my time if I want (which I don't!).

Facebook allows me to stay in touch with the friends I have from the 4 different colleges I attended and the 10 different places I've lived...it's amazing! Plus, it's helped me build my current local circle of friends as well. Is it a replacement for real talking and real face to face interaction? No. Does it supplement it? Hell yes.
