I'm on facebook to be in touch with so many I'd lost touch with from early school years, and have made new friends. I used to be hooked on the games, but now just get on to see what the latest is for everyone. Can also chat on there which is nice. My "Newbie"/"Veteran" Mommy and I are both on so we can send pics and chat instead of PM's here.
I like having my photos of my hobbies, other life events and such on there for others to see.
You can set FB up the way you want and avoid all the junk.
I also have 4 email accounts! LOL oops forgot one. I have 5 email accounts!
