I use Facebook although I used to think it was a waste of time! I use it to keep in touch with family here and abroad, we share photos etc. If you use it sensibly it can be great fun and instant news. Just think how our parents and grandparents kept in touch with relatives abroad, I can even remember having to book a time to call Canada and it cost a fortune.
I keep my "friends" to a small circle and don't look on the number of "friends" as a competition to see who has the most. My friends are just what it says, not vague acquaintances that have no real interest in what I'm up to.
Is it me or am I getting mixed messages
