I love Facebook. For years before Facebook existed, my extended family, which is quite large, had a page through myfamily.com that we used constantly to stay in touch. We migrated over to FB a few years ago and have continued in the same manner. I don't have a huge "friend" base. I correspond with family, some co-workers, and old school buddies. They are all good people. No drama. And we are pretty real with each other; it isn't all flowers and rainbows in our lives. It has been a very positive experience, probably because I use discretion about who I correspond with and who I allow access to my page.
