Oh the wonder of facebook. Aside from the obvious heroin-addictiveness that is facebook, there are several other reasons that I love it, one that just struck me like lightnening this morning. And here is it:
Facebook has pseudo replaced the phone. Its actually better than msn, because you don't have the immediate necessity to reply and you can tell people why you aren't on facebook at that moment by using facebook itself. Now some might argue that you can do this in the little msn comment bar, but that still begs the question, well why are you online if you're not available... even if you are set to "away."
By saying [Insert name here] is "going to [insert location]" you've immediately negated all questions that might arise from your absence. You can even go into more detail giving reasons and return times. In some cases it can even remove the need to call someone back - depending on the reason or if they are your facebook friend.
I really need to go now because "[This girl] is going to her parents house for the weekend and hasn't finished packing."
In closing: Thankyou facebook, thankyou.

Well hannah I'd have to disagree with you. I have a serious bone to pick with facebook. Yah, you can keep in touch with different people but would you have really tried if there wasn't a facebook? It seems like some sort of competition to get friends on your list. And another thing, no one writes emails now. I just plain think that facebook is making people really lazy and unable to put the effort in to keep in touch with someone. So no thank you facebook. Tannis
Ya, but Tannis, i suck at answering emails, and i sucked at that before facebook. this way, i can at least stay in touch with more people than i would have if i didn't have it. Also, i agree, some people have a "friend competition" going on, but I really don't. I've said "no thankyou to several people already. But I'm pickin up what you're puttin down. its not for everyone.
