I Heart Facebook
There are many people who hate Facebook and hate the fact that it just contains way too much information about your life, friends, affiliations, etc.
I, however, have grown to love it. I’ve been able to locate many people with whom I’d lost touch with over the years.. People I went to high school with and had no clue where life had taken them.
Yesterday, was the icing on the cake. My best friend from 3rd/4th grade tracked me down! Upon adding her, I found another friend from that time period whom I hadn’t heard from since 1984!!!
Thank you Facebook.

I don’t like Facebook because it leaves you open to annoying people.. and I tend to like a certain level of privacy, I like to show only a certain amount of information, so I stay out of the social networking sites!

Hasan.B: you guys are totally missing the point

I for one never really digested the idea of facebook. But then again I’m a very social guy either

Hitman1: used to feel the same way and i was very hesitant when i first started using it. then i realized it’s all in what you use it for. it’s great for me to keep in touch with friends across the world & find long lost ones.
As for football, i know.. but did you see Peyton last Thurs? He was great. Can’t wait for the Steelers/Titans game tomorrow. Should be a great one!

You sound old, How come you have no contact with a person since 1984?
I use facebook not to get in touch with people I already know, that’s dump. It works better to get to know people you just met days before or so, that’s the advantage, that you can find almost anyone.
