Facebook is a tool. It can be use or abused. Posting every time the baby poops with vivid descriptions, or telling the world that you've just took a shower might be considered abusive. Making connections with old high school friends living 4,000 miles away that you lost contact with 40 years ago might be considered 'good' usage. On the other hand, there is usually a reason WHY you lost contact with these people, and once having re-established communications might wish to sever them again...
... but I've meet distant cousins that I never even knew existed, found ex-lovers or co-workers that I hadn't seen in 30 years. It was fun to hear what they've been doing during all that time, and hear about the roads they followed. A school friends little 8 yr old sister who was a bother when we were 15 is now a grandmother... A student from 20 years ago now in charge of public relations for a State Police, another who passed away from cancer 5 years ago... This is life. Use it correctly or abuse it. It's up to the individual. The medium is not to blame.
