Facebook

I joined Facebook this week, though it is not something I would have done had it not been a class assignment. From my point of view, in the long run, it is another obligation against my very limited free time. I did find that it was very easy to get started. I was able to find more than 5 people to add as friends right away. Most of them are local family, but I also found one of my cousins from California.

I found the site to be very east to navigate, and was able to edit my privacy options right away. I have not had a chance to post a picture or to visit all my friends' sites, but I did post to my CA cousin's wall. I see how this site could be a great place to maintain long distance communications without having to write letters or to make phone calls, but I prefer to call or see my local friends. It definitely makes it easier for people to keep in touch with scattered relatives and friends. I also feel comfortable with this site, more so than Myspace. I like the fact that you have to approve anyone to be a friend, and that the privacy options allow you to limit who can see your personal information.
