I do have a facebook profile. I can't say I use it alot but I do keep in contact with family far away with facebook rather than email. It's kinda funny, I don't contact my kids through facebook as much as I talk with their friends! Our daughter in Denver had some bad luck the last month and her facebook friends have been so supportive of her by encouraging her and helping her. That's what it's all about, helping each other and "being there" without actually being there.
