Connecting with friends is a great thing and there are many ways to do it. Although Facebook has many advantages to it such as being a portal to connect with old friends that you haven’t seen for awhile, it also has some disadvantages too. Looking at the positive in it, my husband slapped up a profile on Facebook several weeks ago. Within that time, four of his long lost buddies sent him a message. This was great because he is now able to pick up where things left off.

Now the downside. Not only did four of his long lost buddies send him a message, but so did fifty other people who “claimed” that they wanted to be friends. Usually these types of people are only looking to sell something. Also, using Facebook only does the first part of reconnecting the friendship. It doesn’t get you together in person. That part is up to you.

There is nothing wrong with using facebook, or other social sites. Jenny found this great beauty forum and has been using it all week. That doesn’t stop her from going out and actually meeting people face to face though. I think that is one of the keys at the end of the day. Use them, but don’t let them replace your real face to face interaction.
