Facebook . . . a WONDER!

So, maybe I am just totally slow and out of touch with technology on the web these days, but I keep discovering amazing communication tools and ways of staying in touch with people that I love. So, here comes the latest.

Facebook.com! I am so excited about this new tool for communication, and it is really quite simple to use. I am pretty sure that most of my readers here do not have a facebook account (since I have not come across any yet), so this may be new to most of you.

If you are like me, you get frustrated with trying upload pictures to a Slide.com or Rockyou.com in order to post pictures on your blog. Plus, you have a limited amount of pictures and sizes that you can upload. Well, probably my favorite thing about facebook, is the fact that you can upload and UNLIMITED amount of photos and in my experience, it is a LOT FASTER! That alone is a great reason to get a facebook.

Also, in the last three days or so that I have had one, I have gotten back in touch with people I haven't seen for years! All the way back to Life Action days! That has been amazing!

Other features:
* You can set the facebook to automatically upload your blogger posts into the facebook for a whole new group of readers and friends to see.
* When you upload photos, you can tag the names of the people in the photos and if they have a facebook (and are in your friend list) they will automatically get those photos as well. So it's a great tool for sharing photos with others.
*You get requests from people you know to be your friend and YOU CHOOSE if they are listed in your friends list or not. ONLY YOUR FRIENDS CAN SEE YOUR PROFILE, PICS, AND POSTS. Plus you can choose for certain friends to only see limited amounts of your profile and so on.
* You can post major events and the INVITE people to those events.
* Your friends can leave comments and such on your "Wall".
* You will be surprised at the friends you may find there that you haven't talked to in years.

Why am I telling you this? Because there are some great friends of mine out there that I would love to see join facebook, so that we can keep in touch even BETTER than a typical blog.

Let me stress that this is not a MYSPACE idea where anyone can see your information and stuff. Nor is there annoying pop-ups and questionable advertizements. The look of your facebook is neat and clean. This is very secure and let's you decide who can see what. I have only been at it for a few days and I have already found 52 friends from every different relm of my life! Life Action, Northland, Crusades, HOST FAMILIES!, and even people I work with around here. I also uploaded, captioned, and tagged over 100 photos in about twenty minutes! That's amazing.

So I can post a lot more pictures of my family and friends there and chances are, there are a lot of pictures you all haven't seen yet. Sign up, add me as your friend, and then enjoy all of the pictures and updates.

So click here to get your own facebook. Oh, did I mention that it is FREE?!!!
