Well I have moved a lot in my life and my friends and family are spread out. FB is a really nice way for me to keep up with my "Real Life" people.

I love it for that. I have friends from nearly every job that I have had, most of the schools I have attended. I am not good at snail mail, so I love it for the social aspect.

Here, I have met new interesting people that know different people, different cultures, etc. Also, as I said, I am invested. So, two different things. (just my view)
