Very often, Facebook shows an airbrushed, photoshopped version of people's lives. People's lives may look great on FB, but they have problems like anyone else. You don't know what's wrong in their lives because they don't post about that. As for the number of friends some people have, I regard the collecting of friends on FB much the same as elementary school kids collecting valentines on Valentine's Day in school -- the more the better. It doesn't matter who the valentine is from.

FB is a fun way to keep in touch with people, but I don't take it seriously.
