I like facebook - being so far away from home it's invaluable in easily keeping in touch with folks. But I also have friends in the US and as well as back in South Korea and some other countries. And, I find it's great for keeping up to date about events. But, I have a heap of people on my fb (including my sisters) that never bother to keep in touch, so sometimes I feel really frustrated with it.
Just had a phone call from my mum. She's all excited because she's got her computer up and running again and got it hooked up and is talking about facebook!
