Week 6 : Facebook

I already have an account on facebook that I created long time ago, the purpose initially was to view photos of one of my friends in IRAQ about her trip to Turkey. a place that interesting me as a history and culture. So I signed in to find out that she only shares her whatever with friends , so I invited her to be a friend hoping that I 'll be able to view the photos, and I think I did that for so many times, and till now I havn't surprisingly!!!!
But, I have had collected a good number of friends that I come across by chance who are all living now all around the world, USA, Canada, Dubai, Hungary, Omman, england you name it , it is there .
I can tell that this is the good thing about it, to be able to contact someone you lost truck with and for a long time and see them how they are aging or see their children or even grandchildren.
Otherwise , if it is to be used to comment or say hi to someone who is living just cross the road, and being a "digital friend" to , that's a little bit wierd . I call this antisocilaizing. If to see many photos of a certain occasion that's could be the easiest way to do it, but to comment and tell them about my day and what I cooked for dinner that is really silly.

FB is very good for keeping in touch with old friends and even family who live overseas or, like mine, travel a lot :) Good point that maybe some of us go a bit overboard using LOL
