I have friends and family members that live in some strange places. Ever tried to place a phone call to Angola or Cambodia?

Keeping in mind that no one's going to force anyone to join FB if they don't want to, I really enjoy it. It's one stop shopping to keep on top of what others are doing or their state of mind; one stop shopping to share photos with others; and I can play scrabble with my mom.

I'm also with the poster that found some long lost people. Back in the days before computers, if you were transient, moved a lot, it was hard to keep track of people. Maybe you didn't have a phone for six months or forwarding address expired? I too found some very special long lost people and it's been a hugely rewarding experience to reconnet.

Note, you don't have to friend everyone that asks you, and you can hide anyone you want.
