True, there are many advantages of facebook, because I once had it. I was able to keep in touch with people, and I do kiruv so it was great to talk to the kids. Like thinkinghelps rabbi Wallerstein is very against facebook, and that speech was all about it, but alot of his other speeches he brings it up to try to get people to know. people become obsest and spend all day on it. when I go to college, during computer class I walk past the room and there is usually 4-5 people people on it, it becomes your idle that you cannot control. but the other thing i think is wrong, everything in life is wrong or right, you are supposed to think if you see hashems reflection in your action, meaning some of my friends have facebook to do kiruv like i mentioned, which is a very good thing, but good things cannot come out of something bad so hashem would not be there with the person. you are suppposed to elevate the physical, facebook i think is just all nothingness, alot of it, and meeting new people for the kids is really not a good thing. i think creating a private blog is a great way of keeping up, which is what my seminary has, or just the traditional emailing.
