Facebook is fun. If you don't know what it is, it is an online community/organization where you can make friends, play games, send messages to people and just generally keep in contact or reconnect with old friends. I joined in February and have had a lot of fun finding people from High School, missionaries from my mission and people that I know from my hometown as well as people from where I currently live. I send little notes to them and they send them back. It's quick, easy, and totally painless.

It is not like MySpace, in that you can control how much info you put on your profile and who reads it. Actually, people have to be your friend in order to view your info. It feels safer that way. I don't get any more unwanted emails and such than I did before, actually I don't get any spam that comes as a result of Facebook.

So, I invited my little sister to join and she did. I wasn't surprised because quite simply, she is cool like that and I knew it. She has been enjoying being on Facebook and I can tell because she has a bazillion friends! I wondered if my other sisters would like to join and so I sent them invites. One of the invites didn't go through because my nephew was already on there using my sis's email address. He was really surprised to find out that I was a member of FB too, believe me!! Anyway, yesterday my oldest sister Gina joined! So freaking funny! We'll see how "active" she is on it, but I just thought it was cool that she joined!

This post basically had not much interesting to say except that I needed to write for stinking NaBloPoMo and I had to think of something to write and that was the only thing. The End.

My oldest sister lives on FB now and barely updates her blog anymore as a result of it.
I'm glad you pointed out FB's good qualities, because I was thinking that it was as open as MS. blech!
Thanks for the info!
