Put me in the pro-Facebook crowd. The rest of my family (DH excepted, of course) lives in other states. How else would I keep up with them? Yes, we could call, but we're busy. It's ALWAYS a bad time to call.

And not only family. I've reconnected with old friends. I had tried to look them up, but everyone's name was either Smith or Jones, with a few slightly less common names thrown in. I just had to make myself visible and hope they would look for me. Facebook made that possible.

You can hide a lot of those annoying Farmtown, etc. posts. That was about the first thing I learned to do.
