I've come out of the Facebook trough of disillusionment and I'm back on board. I had a month or so in which anything I did on FB was critical of the site. I poked fun at things like becoming a fan of breathing, and oposable thumbs. But lately I am just using it as a way of keeping people informed about what is going on. For example, yesterday my #2 kid had a school musical. We recorded a video of one of the songs and I loaded it onto FB and Youtube. Family couldn't be there, so it was a way for me to share that experience with them.
I'm planning an event for a friend who is getting married in a few months. Pushing information about what, where and how much is a lot easier with FB than with traditional practices. In the old days (like 2 months ago) we would craft an email, attach a bunch of content to it and send it to 20 different people. Those people would respond, or not, at varying intervals and with different information. Keeping track of the whole thing was more painful than it should have been. Enter FB. Now, I just put the content in one place, respond whenever you like and make it available to all. Plus other people can help by answering questions for me. In a nutshell, this helps us get to consensus faster.
