It's great for:
- Keeping in touch with geographically scattered friends & family
- It's the default means that my various social groups use to organize events
Stay away from:
- Accepting "Friend" requests from people you wouldn't consider a friend. Feel no guilt when you click the "ignore" button.
- All those damn games
- Questionable links that one of your "friends" may post - I've seen quite a few obvious spam/scam things show up - usually from my more technology-challenged acquaintances who don't know any better and click on said link (which then perpetuates itself by their doing so)
Some warnings:
- Watch your privacy settings!
- Assume ANYTHING you post will be there in perpetuity for the world to see.
