[Blindtlk] Facebook

[Jude DaShiell]

Another advantage to using your phone is that the facebook app will 
search your contacts if you permit to then search facebook and if any of 
your contacts are on facebook it can offer to send those you select 
friend requests for you.  Anyone not using their phone will get tons of 
friend requests many of which simply want to steal your identity and get 
at your finances.  If you get the facebook app for your phone you'll 
probably also want to download the facebook messenger app, they're 
separate apps by now and the messenger app can help you with that part 
of facebook as opposed to the facebook app that does everything else.
