I only have 77 friends, all but 3 are family or friends, some I have been out of contact with for decades.

School chums I found from 40 years ago would have pretty much been impossible without facebook.

Even have a few ex-girlfriends in there who I remember fondly - "break-ups" were not messy.

Depends how you utilize it.

When someone "unfriends" me - I do not chase them.

Nor do I get upset.

Had a couple do that, no loss in my opinion.

Facebook can be a good thing, but I stress,

It's how you utilize it.
