Facebook is my primary messaging system.
It's better than e-mail because I don't have to sift through spam in my private message box. I don't even have to sift through messages from companies that I technically have a business relationship with. I only get actual personal contacts.
It's better than various forms of IM software because (1) most of my relatives actually use it and (2) it's in the browser rather than a standalone client.
Of course, YMMV.
- gknoy 14y agoAgreed. I hate using Facebook, as I nearly never feel like posting anything, but it's nice to be able to say, "I wonder what ___ is doing", and then see their feed, or see some vacation photos, and not have to actually bother them and interrupt their day. With young kids, time is precious and often not at times which are convenient for socialization. :)
- Flow 14y agoDon't you think that the advantage of being more "clean" compared to email is something that will change once spammers and others start abusing Facebook?
