luv2hack – I’m with you on this!
Facebook, is for family and friends. It’s not intended to be a dating site, or a “cool” hangout & gossip site. -That sounds more like Myspace.
As for your kids having Facebook, if you are not capable of monitoring them on the internet, then they shouldn’t have access to it.
Because of Facebook, those who have busy lives and little one’s to care for, can stay in touch with people we love and care about, &/or find family and friends we haven’t seen in years. I had/have family in Japan, Afghanistan, Chicago, Arizona, Georgia, and many other places in the world. I’m not only talking about distant second, or third, cousins, My parents, siblings, aunts, uncles, and cousins. I have friends in Israel, Australia, England, Canada, and all across the USA. I can’t exactly visit most of these people. Calling them only becomes a game of phone tag. Oh, and as a BIG plus, the a bulk of my work consists of using the internet & other computer programs (home biz, not cheating a boss or company). How much more convenience can one ask for 🙂
I love Facebook! woo hoo!
