I read my Facebook to see friends and family from afar, but what I also use it for is quilting. There are so many blogs and sites out there that if you "like" them, they send interesting info to your page. I even have my favorite quilting stores on Facebook. It is really more than a friend connection now. I even "like" favorite restaurants and learn of specials. I do keep my securities tight and have it set so only friends can read my info. I am surprised at how many people who are not listed as friends leave their page open for everyone to read.
