It is what you make out of it. You don't have to spend your whole day on it, but it is a very convenient way to keep up with people. As far as the astronomy groups go, it is quite similar to this mailing list, with the exception that users can post pictures directly to the feed, and links show up with a thumbnail and introduction. I rarely spend my whole day on it, usually i'm heavily focused on Angry Birds :) On Tue, Aug 2, 2011 at 11:35 AM, Steve Fisher <iotacass1@hotmail.com> wrote:
I have been Facebooking now for about three years. I'm up to two "friends". Over those three years I have "Liked" several companies so I might win a giveaway. I have "Liked" the SLAS facebook page and it has helped keep me informed about some things I might have missed. While like others I do not feel I have the time to spend constantly on Facebook, I do feel somewhat disconnected from the world around me. I don't necessarily care for the world I'm not connected to, "tweets" "wall posts" etc. but I do feel out of the loop sometimes. .

You might be singing a different song when you're 65, my friend. Life can get lonely.

I don't "do" Facebook and probably never will. What do you people do to have all this free time? It boggles the mind.
