1. I already have a Facebook account
2. I currently have 43 friends and have searched for new friends in all the ways described.
3. The applications use on Facebook include Living Social: Visual Bookshelf, Shelfari, Bumper Sticker, WorldCat, and My Music among others.
4. Looking at my applications was a good chance to "clean house." I removed several applications that I don't really use. What happens is when someone sends you a Valentine's Day present for example and you accept it that adds the Valentine's Day gift application to your applications when really all you may have wanted to do was accept the gift. I never really got into giving because they are not all free. So I took this opportunity to clean up my applications. I also have a better understanding of how they work, for example, if you ignore something your friend will NOT be notified so I don't feel as obligated to accept invitations to join groups, mailing lists, petitions, etc. I like Facebook because I have out-of-state friends and family and it makes keeping in touch with them very easy. No more getting double prints and mailing them in snail mail, yes this is what I did when my kids were growing up with out-of-state grandparents. Today I have a niece with a 7 month old little girl who lives in Indiana and I get to see photos of her almost daily and even videos of her. Though my friend list is nowhere near the hundreds like my daughters are I am guessing this is because Facebook is much more popular with the younger set. I do occassionally find a new friend who I graduated from high school or college with has recently joined Facebook so I guess it's catching on with those my age.
