Social Networking

I am ashamed to say i have a facebook. I'm even more ashamed to say that i check it on a regular basis. I signed up on the website one day a long time ago when i was really bored. Since then, i have added over 400 friends and i still ask myself why sometimes. I almost deleted my account once, but then i realized that facebook is actually a really good way to stay in touch with friends that have either graduated or live in a diffrent town or maybe even a diffrent state. It's also good for a quick laugh or two. Some of the funniest arguments i have ever seen have taken place on facebook. I also think it's a great way for lesser known bands to reach out to potential fans. I have found a few bands, simply because of facebook. A good example of this is a band called full service. I saw them once at the town ballroom and i really liked them, so i bought one of their cds. Later, i went home and "Liked" them on facebook. Because of that, i chat with them on a fairly regular basis, Matt Rebmann and I have joined their street team, and they're even coming to alden to put on a show for us. I think that facebook is a good tool, but can be abused. No one wants to see pictures of you and your bro's gettin your swell on at the gym, so don't post them. Also, don't use facebook to say how depressed you are because you and your boyfriend/girlfriend of 2 months broke up. You're making yourself look 10x More pathetic when posting all that crap to the public. Overall, i think that the world would be way diffrent without facebook and we wouldn't have a college drop-out who has over a billion dollars because of a website.
