For some things online one seems to need a FB account, so I made one. I think I used my dogs information or some such. FB tracks too much, so I avoid it as much as possible.
I think FB can be a good tool to help extended family to stay in touch.
I look at lamebook.com sometimes, when I'm not wanting to think about politics. Some of it is crude but some of it is pretty funny. They gather the goofy stuff from FB. ->
