Just received this from facebook:

Hi,

Barack Obama (Washington, DC) has confirmed you as his fourth cousin once removed on We're Related.

Quite impressive, doncha think?

Hype · 04-01-2009, 04:30 PM

BinaryLife · 04-01-2009, 04:42 PM

Not that I know of... but then again Barack is only 1/2 black.

can be 'useful' if you want to keep in touch with old friends and have no other means of contacting them.

SomeOldGuy · 04-03-2009, 06:46 PM

For us it's keeping in touch with the family here and overseas.

So yeah, it actually IS useful.

fishBurger · 04-03-2009, 06:52 PM

Yeah it helps to have family, friends, or other acquaintances before you can utilize an informal communications structure. And it is useful for certain things.

zSilver_Fox · 04-03-2009, 10:24 PM

I guess I'm old fashioned.

puppychow · 04-04-2009, 01:30 AM

yes, sooo old fashioned, posting on a video game bb

Facebook IS a great tool..it has put my back in touch with people that otherwise I would not know how to find...and a good chunk of em I am happy to have reconnected with.

Now, FB psychos, posting a status update when they take a shit is a different thing altogether...It get get very cheesy very quick. I try to hit it up twice a week and am comfortable with that..although it can be intoxicating at first.

When it comes to communication, I get a bit stuck in the 90s. I prefer email and instant messaging over stuff like that.

Then again, I think that all cell phones should just send and receive phone calls, though I'm starting to open my mind to txting.

I used to think the same till I got into a relationship with a girl. Started out with E-mails, skipped im's and went to texting.

theres these things called time differences. kinda difficult to talk to people on the phone or instant message them when they are sleeping because they are 6 hours ahead/behind (might not be a problem for the unemployed, but those with jobs usually have to adhere to a certain schedule).
