Is a facebook a good way to connect with friends and relatives?

[Brandon A]

Facebook is one of the best ways to connect with friends and relatives. Facebook allows you to link up with your family even more, by offering a section in your information called 'Siblings', 'Parents' etc, where you can confirm each other as family members.

Myspace is terrible and lacks most of Facebook's features. Facebook also features a clean and easy-to-navigate design - and will likely be around long after Myspace is deserted. You can send private messages, you can post on each others walls, and there are plenty of applications and other uses that make Facebook one of the most powerful places to connect with other individuals online.

Keep in mind, in regards to an above answer, that Facebook does have a history of bad policies, such as not making anything default private. Everything is public, but you can easily make the necessary changes in your privacy settings to make your profile as open or closed as you want.
