Facebook
In my case I do genealogy in addition to quilting, and Facebook has developed into a great tool for that hobby. I have been able to download photos of relatives and their families with whom I communicate only occasionally. Some of the photos have been from Norway, and I am sure I would never have gotten them if we had to depend only on snail mail. I encourage you to try it. You are not required to post things once you set up an account. If you do not like it, you can always delete your account.
