Facebook is the talk of the town...or even the talk of the country. This site is popular with people of all ages. Facebook provides an opportunity for people to cruise the web and get acquainted with long lost friends, visit with freinds, and relatives in other places or cities. It provides the opportunity for friends to look at photos of your recent trip or a haircut, or a new pet. This is lots of fun but everyone needs to be selective about what is place on Facebook. Since the photos never go away years from the posting date information can be retrived and used. Participants should also be careful about what is said because they can be quoted and this can be detrament to their jobs, marriage, or just plain embarrassing.
It can be a nice addition to the classroom because students can either post a real person (biography) or they create a imaginable character and invited "friends" to question or comment. This might be useful in the classroom when studying biograhies or Tall Tales.
