Facebook is the jungle drums and smoke signals of the modern era.
There's much to love
- Keeping in touch with friends and family
- Finding old friends that I thought were lost
- Friends that were from one part of my life connecting with friends from another. I have people from high school talking with my current writing group for example
- Groups (photography, writing, blogging)
- Being caught up with friends with problems
- Being able to offer support to people with problems quickly although phone and face are the best after the initial Facebook contact
- News
- Jokes
- Political articles I agree with
- Political articles I don't agree with to make sure I have a complete picture
- Articles on favorite subjects (medieval history, maps, grammar etc.)
- Cute animals
- Quizzes (I don't care if they use it to gather marketing info) They are fun especially when I do well
- How when you go to another page getting back to where you were can be a challenge
- Lists (Americans are great with numbered lists) where you have to click on the next page and the next and the next
- Photos posted where after five you have to keep changing screens. I don't even when I adore the photographer and yes I'm lazy
- Ads that pop up in the middle of an article blocking my reading
- Words that promise I'll love, laugh etc. giving false expectations
- People who are nasty rather when they disagree and attack personally not the issues

Facebook is very much a challenge for me. I have had more negative than positive. Only have 120 friends now compared to the 1000 that I used to have. I have had some good but I do not like Facebook for my main communication.
