Whether Facebook is useful or not

Based on my experience, if the time using facebook (and other social networks online) is managed effectively, it is a useful tool. Once I started using facebook in 2007, I was able to share pictures with family and friends from near and far about my pregnancy and also about my daughter growing up -- she is now 2. Also, holiday pictures are a common request. Using facebook also allows me to stay connected with friends, family, and aquaintances, who I wouldn't stay in regular contact otherwise.
