The advantages of Facebook

I have seen a lot of myLotters post about how they hate that people waste time on Facebook. Perhaps it is but I keep my Facebook account open as much as my myLot account. True some people use it as a bragging tool but I do get a lot of smiles when I see my friends' interesting posts, photos or videos. For example, I just finished watching my friend's video of her 3 year old daughter while she was coloring ad singing at the same time. The last time I saw her, she was just a baby so at least through Facebook I get to see her while she grows up. Anybody else here enjoys Facebook?

I love Facebook! I get to keep up with friends and family that live in the state I grew up in, but no longer live in. I get to promote my blogs, and the items I create and sell. I have made a lot of new friends on Facebook as well. A game or two isn't so bad either, lol!

I'm on Facebook too but I'm not too active. I don't know why but I prefer forums and blogs.

I have found Facebook extremely helpful when I was abroad. It's a really nice way to catch up with family and friends

I do agree that even tho people abused facebook there are still some good in it, like being able to see your long lost friends and their families now, that is why i have a facebook account even tho there are people who brag a lot in it.

For me , I enjoy Facebook because I get to find my long lost friends way back Elementary and High school.. but none the less sometimes I used to get bored reading some of those none sense stuff posted by my friends, but all in all somehow Facebook helps me specially with my articles written..

All these websites have different purpose. It depends on the person who uses it and what would the others point of view of ones activity is less important. In my case before get hooked on FB games. I agree one can consider it as a waste of time since all I did was play. But that was my way of entertaining myself since I seldom goes out and when I'm bored I spend time even up all night just to play FB games and chat with my friends. I got friends all over the world because of those games I played. Now I started to interact with friends and relatives statuses, pictures and videos and it help me getting closer with them. And I don't consider all those activities as a waste of my time.

I love my facebook. I share quotes and pics with friends. And get to talk to my family from Florida where I grew up that I don't ever get to see. And I have also met family from my genealogy search. It's a very good place to talk to people you can't see in person everyday. And to share everything, thoughts and memories. Some people do fill it with drama, and some people waste countless hours and money for that matter on the games. That's where facebook becomes bad for people. Use it but don't abuse it right! :)

I still love Facebook. It's a great site to keep up with friends and it's now become a great way of keeping up to date with your favourite musicians, actors and actresses.

i haven't subscribed to any actor or actresses. not that i don't want to. it's just that since FB is free anybody could make an account and pretend to be a 'somebody' If I were to subscribe to someone famous I'd like to follow Jessica Sanchez
