Facebook....is it a "good" thing??

I guess facebook is a good thing but it can be a bad thing too. I think it depends on yourself. How do you use it? Do you reveal everything about yourself? Can anybody post anything on your page? And so on. If you protect yourself and keep things for yourself too, you are not so vulnerable to malicious behaviour of others that wish to do you harm. If you do so it is a great way of finding long lost friends. Friends in your country but also abroad. You can start reconnecting with them and share with them what you want to share. It has improved my life. Found some old friends from abroad whom I otherwise had lost forever!
