I use it to keep in contact with my (very large) family. It's a great way to stay in touch with people who are spread out across the country.

Not me, myspace or twitter either. I surf the web, wander about here on the forum. And browse magazines and books from the Goodwill to get my ideas.

I just signed up and am still learning the ropes. I was at a baby shower last weekend and found out my niece in TN had posted her wedding photos. I decided it was the only way to keep in touch with the young people.

It is way more confusing that forums like this!

i do,but am like everyone else, this is more fun and more informational. i let a son or grandson play in farmville. sometimes my daughter takes care of stuff. wish i could get
off that farmville, but don't know how, i have kids,grands,
even stepkids,grands,etc.on there. i'd rather spend my time
elsewhere,like in my sewing room.

I too am on it and really enjoy it. I have a huge family and I am able to keep in contact with cousins and siblings and even my kids on it. I love that you can leave quick notes like having a real conversation rather than having to write a lot. I think I have gotten to know some of my cousins better through FB than I used to because we share mundane day to day stuff that is what our lives really consist of.

Count me as a fan!

I think the great thing about Facebook is that you can adapt it to be anything you want it to be. Privacy settings, hiding notifications, blocking annoying people, reading what I want to read and ignoring the rest... I can't imagine my life with out it.

My mom had 8 siblings... two step-sisters, one full sister, three half-sisters and two half-brothers. Their children are scattered hither and yon. And now, our facebook group for our family has brought us closer together and we're planning a family reunion in a couple of years time.

It takes time to learn the tricks of making it enjoyable but it can serve a purpose in anyone's life.
