Unfortunately, I have a Facebook account so that I can tinker with the library's page. Its not that I don't like Facebook; I jumped on the social network bandwagon with Myspace and I am used to their layout and features.
But I do admit, I get sucked into the endless memes in Facebook and write my status practically on a daily basis and leave comments on other people's profiles.
Today, I used the Friend Finder for my high school classmates in 2000. I found a good number of people and sent requests to add them. I don't really know if "knowing" them on Facebook will deem beneficial but it never hurts, right? Besides, either party can choose to ignore the add or the user entirely. It is nice to have someone find you though. Recently a friend that I knew in my art class befriended me in Facebook and she is now a missionary. I feel that it was kismet to cross paths b/c I am contemplating volunteering abroad when I graduate.
As for applications, I have trouble deciphering these. I've taken the occasional quiz and when I try to send it to friends or get my results, I get an error page. However, when I go back to my homepage, the results are posted. I recently added the Living Social: Books application which I haven't perused much but I like sharing my reads with friends. I also updated my Flixster application and added a couple of my favorite movies to my list. I want to see if I can add my Netflix info onto FB which would be great!
I know some people feel that social networking is lame or for losers. I am even reading articles for class that debate whether the internet is a good or bad thing for individuals. In my opinion, I think everything has good and bad in it and everything can be enjoyed in moderation. Either way, Facebook and other networks make everyday life a little more lively.
