Facebook?
#12
I have FB and like it very much. As for it being a "time suck" - only as much as you let it be! It's a great way to stay current with friends and family, especially those you don't live close to. Share pics, news, jokes. Get notifications from companies like Janome, Aurifil, some with frequent give-aways. Lots of neat stuff.

I use it to see what is happening with friends and family, but I rarely post anything myself and have the strictest privacy settings. I do not do "Apps" or games and have it linked to a rarely used email address, not my main one.
I do have a separate FB page for my quilts.

I use FB to stay in touch with relatives and friends we aren't able to see. We all post pictures and some info. I limit who has access to my FB page. I have even touched base with the "grown up" neighbor kids. Love seeing their children, etc. We have relatives who are missionaries in Brazil and we get to see so many interesting things. Try it and see how you like it.

I read my Facebook to see friends and family from afar, but what I also use it for is quilting. There are so many blogs and sites out there that if you "like" them, they send interesting info to your page. I even have my favorite quilting stores on Facebook. It is really more than a friend connection now. I even "like" favorite restaurants and learn of specials. I do keep my securities tight and have it set so only friends can read my info. I am surprised at how many people who are not listed as friends leave their page open for everyone to read.

I am a creeper on Facebook. I very seldom talk to anyone unless they talk to me and I don't post pictures either. I joined because I have a son in Milwaukee and I was keeping up with his shennaigans. I do enjoy looking at my friends pictures and the things that are going on in their lives.

I do. It took me awhile to catch on. It's the only way I see my grand daughter in Texas, and keep up with my family, who are all over the place, and I've had 4 friends from high school find me. It's fun and entertaining.

I am on Facebook, and check it almost every day, just as I do this Board! I can see our kids pics on there, and keep in contact with a few friends. I also use it to post pics of my little quilts so my friends can see what I'm doing, and I remind them that some of my stuff is for sale on the AAQI site! Sometimes, I 'share' a good news article I've found. It's just another way of communicating and learning about what's going on in the world. I also created a special email address just for Facebook, to try to avoid some of the spam that circulates.
Feel free to send me a PM if you'd like to be Facebook friends!
It never occurred to me that Aurifil would be on Facebook, but of course they would be! I must go and find them. Would love to get some free thread!
