I will admit it-- I'm kind of a Facebook addict.
I check it frequently when I'm at home. I have updates sent to my cell phone. I have the app for my iPod. I'm not one of those people who adds everyone they've ever met, but I really do enjoy keeping in touch-- albeit often quite infrequently-- with those people who were (or are) in my life.
As the years go by, I think we get more and more disconnected from each other... because of many reasons-- distance, scheduling, routines, how busy we are, etc... But Facebook sort of allows us each to hold on to some form of community from our past, even if it is slightly fleeting.
Whether it's hearing from someone I grew up with or from one of my university friends or getting a funny post on my wall from a colleague, I will continue to reap the benefits of Facebook and enjoy the site and the way it's made the world-- my world in particular-- just a little bit more connected.
