ambition put together a pretty coherent reply as to why lots of people who went to college during or post-facebook found it pretty damn useful. now that i've graduated, yes, i do want to keep up with friends i made in college (and not just those 10 that i'll visit and keep in close touch with), so that purpose is enduring. yes, i do enjoy keeping in touch with people i've connected with, all through my life. and yes, i'll still want to have a quick, but easy way to stay in touch with more people that i could have before. quite surprisingly, my mom joined facebook last week. she friended me and put up family pictures. i've had several friends from college and that i've met since message me about those pictures -- in a very real sense, it's joining my personal networks on many levels and allowing people to stay in touch with me and for me to stay in touch with them more easily.
