Twink - you said it just right. Being able to just say hi to a friend on FB is great. I use it a lot with other moms. We're all so busy with our kids but if we have a minute and we're online we can just say hey to each other. It's much easier than trying to have a conversation on the phone and sometimes it's just too late at night to call them. Just a few days ago I reconnected with a bunch of high school friends and it's been great. Without FB we never would have found each other like this.
