Facebook is such a fantastic way of keeping in touch with old and new friends. The news feed is my favourite way to find out what my friends and family are doing or thinking. Sometimes it takes too long to upload or it's unavailable altogether.

Facebook is by far the best social networking site around. It is fantastic for keeping in touch with distant relatives, sharing photos and experiences, as well as tracking down long lost contacts. All my friends have it, my parents are yet to be on it however most of my family are on it and we keep in regular contact that we wouldn't otherwise do through the site.

Look it is great to find our what everyone you know is up to but I have great security concerns. Not for me but for everyone else. They say too much, easy to trace in some cases, leaving themselves wide open for problems. Yes it is great but use it wisely. Once the information is out its out!!

Facebook is one of those things, it's great to have to keep in contact with your family and close friends, but the privacy issues are of concern. It has been a great tool for me to keep in contact with certain groups, say my mothers group-but i worry about how much information can be shared or hacked into by others. There is a lot of settings that you have to make sure you are aware of, as it can catch you out but all in all its free and most of the time easy enough to use. However if i had teenage children i would watch or monitor there usage on this site.

Great for sharing my baby photos to his grandparents! Great to keep in touch with my friends, family! A little worried about privacy being viewed by people you don't know

I've been a member of this website for a very long time already. Probably about when it was first launched. I think this is one of the best social networking websites. It's the one I use and I'm constantly on it several times a day. A very addictive website. It helps me keep in touch with friends and meet new people. 5 stars for this website.

I like Facebook to play Bejewelled on. I don't really like it for the social aspect as for the privacy issue. If you accidentally post something it is on the internet forever.

As a lot of people I am addicted. Great social networking site to keep in touch with friends from the past together with the current.

Facebook is great. An excellent way to keep in touch with friends and see what everyone is up to. It's great for music fans who want to keep up to date with what their favourite artists are doing and not miss a gig thanks to the events.

GREAT! i'm positively addicted. the world has never felt so small. connecting with people i would have otherwise lost touch with. gets a bad rap from most media outlets, but i believe th eprivacy is good, if you can customise it. WAY TOO ADDICTIVE THOUGH!
