Facebook comments

There are a number of reasons why social networking sites are popular. It's an easy way to track down and stay in touch with friends and the chat feature of Facebook is especially useful because it makes conversation with faraway friends cheaper. Being able to see photos of friends and their activities adds to one's enjoyment. People need somewhere to belong, especially if they are far from family and friends, and belonging to a Facebook group provides an instant family which can include real family members. Posting a brief message on someone's wall is also quicker than using e-mail. The downside is that it's possible to become so absorbed with using Facebook and playing games and looking for friends that face to face interaction with others is neglected.
