With facebook or email, you give that person the ability to respond when she's ready.

It's not about your time, it's about your recipient's time.

Just a thought ...
Gosh, so true. Seems like everyone wants to call between the hours of 5:30 and 7:30 PM. I've just picked up two kiddos from daycare, I'm trying to simultaneously make dinner, play with the kids, make a bottle, feed the baby, change the baby, . . . it's a three-ring circus. How do I answer a phone with a dirty diaper in one hand and chicken goo all over the other???

FB lets me communicate with everyone at my convenience.

I reiterate, dropping into FB is like stopping by the Coffee Shop: you never know which friends are going to be there, but there is going to be friends there.

You know, I don't see how FB is that much different than TE forums.
