[Blindtlk] mobile Facebook

[Jewel S.]

I personally don't have much time for Facebook. It takes me way too
long to use, and I get frustrated quickly. However, Facebook is the
reason I got back in contact with my biological family on my birth
mother's side (I had lost contact because she refused to give me their
information). An aunt found my profile on there and posted on my wall
and it went from there. So, Facebook has done something amazing for
me...it gave me back my family, all six sets of aunts and uncles,
nearly thirty cousins, and my very special grandmother. So, I'm
grateful to it for that, at least, no matter how frustrating it may
be. It also sends me monthly reminders of phone conferences I often
forget about, so thank goodness for that...oh, and reminders from
local charity groups (like Safe Haven for Cats) about fundraisers and
such.

No matter how annoying FB can be, I like what it can do to help people
reach out. It can be hard to find someone by e-mail only.

A few cents thrown in,
Jewel
