facebook is a good way to keep in touch with a bunch of friends...in the UK its actually more than that, it forms communities based around common interests...hell Rage against the machine will probably top the charts this Xmas all because of a facebook group that started a movement trying to get 'killing in the name' to number one...they reckon because of that it will sell 500,000 singles in one week
now thats power..
I have about 350 friends, of which about 100 i actually give a shit about, the rest are school mates i hung out with occasionally or people I know well enough to have a good chat with in a group setting but wouldnt necessarily arange to hang out with one to one.
