Facebook has reconnected me with a lot old friends and helps me keep up with family in other states.
“Facebook has reconnected me with a lot old friends and helps me keep up with family in other states.”
Yep, me too. And therein is the problem.
There is just something about it... somebody can move away and if they’re a Facebook friend, it’s like they never left. You get insights into what people you know are thinking, sometimes too many insights. It makes communicating with family who aren’t so good at keeping their email programs working simple and easy. I know a lot of people have their concerns, but it’s a fantastically valuable service. And, the ads are generally not obnoxious - they have found a non-irritating way to advertise. I don’t know what the click-thru rate is, or how much they’re making off it, but I appreciate that they aren’t in my face, or jumping up when I’m trying to do something, or making noises that scare me half to death.
