Facebook is a mixed blessing as I've noted many times. Like all text based communication, sometimes it's hard to guess people's real motivations. Like the girl from high school who absolutely HATED me asking for an add - I did it but still am puzzled as to why she wanted me on her friends list. Or the one who once cussed me up one side and down the other posting about how "more people need Jesus" (I nearly lost my lunch over that one). Oh, and then there was when I found out (via Facebook) that the first guy I ever kissed is gay....(do NOT go there. You will NOT like it.).
Some people hate it, think it's a terrible invasion of privacy and won't touch it with a ten foot pole. I enjoy it (but I don't play the games or do any of the causes stuff), but I use it for keeping up with "my" authors and people from Texas and sometimes my coworkers. I've found out about more hometown stuff on Facebook though than I ever would have from calling my cousin who LIVES there, so I find it useful. Not to mention it's highly entertaining to have the mayor of my hometown on my friend's list... LOL.
