My daughter taught me how to use an internet and I got an facebook account. Many of my colleagues have facebook account.
It is easy to handle and manage friends. I am able to find my old friends from school and colleges. I am in touch with them via facebook.
I am able to know about their lives and current well being because of albums, wall posts etc. The website is so use friendly that within a week I am used to it and easily manage my account.
It also provides chatting which is good option to speak to people.
