I've had a Facebook account for about a year now. I started it as a way to keep in touch with my nieces and nephews who post holiday pictures and talk about what's happening in their lives here. The 18-30 yr olds use it a lot; I'd not be up on their lives at all without this. It reminds me of when e-mail started to become more common and it became an easy way I kept in touch with one of my brothers who travelled a lot with his work.
My page is not under my current surname because everyone with the name wants to be your friend and it gets annoying!
On the positive, I am finding it's a way for grassroots groups to get organized and distribute information quickly, though there is a lot of sifting one has to do to get to real information sometimes.
On the negative, it can be an incredible time waster!
