Facebook lets you communicate with people from about five arm-lengths and everyone stays satisfactorily content with the arrangement. However, with your good friends it does help organise things as you can discuss things like in a BB forum, where everyone in the thread is involved. My friends and I are currently arranging a possible quadruple-date for valentines. It would probably be quicker to arrange over the phone, but how do you involved 8+ people in the decision making in one phone call? Simply: Facebook will not get you laid. It will not get you good friends; you may communicate with good friends through facebook but you'll find a way to do that through 2 paper cups and a length of string! It does work as a delaying tactic so that you don't loose acquaintances, however I have little compunction against ditching acquaintances so this doesn't really help me.
