Thing 20- Facebook

Well, I've been on Facebook for about 4 months already, so I didn't have any homework to do this time! I've seen other people's MySpace pages, and I just like Facebook better, and I like how people can't see my profile unless I add them as a friend. I have also heard that MySpace is more difficult to use.
Why is Facebook such a fast-growing social network? Probably because it's fun. It's fun to add a new friend, look at other people's photos, read about what they're doing and thinking, and send messages, gifts, and gestures to them.
Facebook is "free", but not really. Every time I look at it, there are little ads that I never succumb to. I remember a while ago when I tried to get the results of an IQ test that I took on Facebook. I was hurtled through dozens of online offers, and I finally quit before I ever saw my IQ. The biggest deterrent for me was how I started receiving unsavory emails and ads all the time since the IQ test experience. It was becoming maddening, but I started using Thunderbird email, and it's wonderful.
It gets rid of the junk!
