What article? Am I missing something? I LOVE FB - use it daily, keep in touch with family and friends all over the world - don't have to write long emails that I don't have time for - a line here and there, just keeps you in touch, connected, somehow...works for me anyway.. whoops got to go..its my nephews birthday - got to wish him MHR on FB... before the day runs out!

Click on the here above to go through to the article but perhaps I should warn it isn't very balanced. I use FB to stay in touch with all my friends further afield than Harringay, post photos for them and swap quick notes. I have also been looked up by a fair few of my former pupils who are surprisingly nice to me :D.
I too like it but I do have a friend who does what the article says as well as sending round all sorts of unfunny pix etc but she's a nice woman so I forgive her...
