Finally, something I already know about! I've had a Facebook account for over a year, and I must say that I use it more than email to keep track of friends and family. I especially like the photo posting part. The ironic thing is that, just as the article said, both of my college-aged sons have deleted their Facebook accounts around the time their parents started getting busy with FB! Our daughter is 16, and we did require that she "friend" us before she got an account, but I do try not to lurk too much.
We use Facebook with our student workers and have found it to be faster and more effective than their student email accounts. Like all technology, it's a matter of managing the influx of info . . . and being selective on what you use.
I am seriously thinking of setting my 85 and 87 year old parents up with an account, since most of their children and many of their other relatives are on Facebook. Any thoughts out there? They are already proficient on email. Well, "proficient" might be stretching it a bit. They can DO email.
