The amount of chatter there that people do is amazing. Some people use it to just rattle on. However, I’ve noticed one excellent benefit to men AND women - those who run businesses - it is a GREAT way to get and keep things going.
People who have small shops, stores, use it. I have a friend who has a coffeeshop with entertainment, it has been invaluable. I know who is playing every weekend, and what the specials are, and they post pictures of a crowd I know.
It’s also been great for a small co-op I use for teaching kids. It was about to die until a new group stepped up facile with FB. My pastor uses it for talking about his sermons. So there are many applications other than gossip.
It seems to me the fx of FB is defined by your friends - if you friend a bunch of gabby women, you will get a lot of gab. I kill off gabby women...
I kill off gabby women...
