A few positive points

After my last post, and in order to maintain a certain balance, I find it is important to mention a few reasons why I keep using FB even when it’s “that evil”…

Firstly, its email possibilities and chat option makes it an excellent way to communicate with others (particularly if, like me, you do not have a cell phone). You want to go to lunch? Go online and check which of your friends are there (there is ALWAYS someone), and send them a message. Want to send an email to many of your friends and make sure they read it? Send it via Facebook.

FB is also a great way to get in touch with friends who are far away, or whom you have not seen or talk to in a long time. I have a friend who is studying in France and seeing is profile in FB is a good way to keep in touch, know what he has done lately and seeing his life in France. Evidently, it is never the same as talking to him on the phone or in person; but when that option does not exist, FB is quite helpful.
