Facebook "a waste of time..."? Hundreds of millions of people now use
Facebook as their open-id to keep their online profiles consolidated
and allow one-click-login to a myriad of sites all over the web.

Facebook is worth billions upon billions of dollars, over 500 million
users on Facebook, companies make untold millions of dollars using
Facebook for their businesses, and it connects hundreds of millions of
people worldwide, has helped raise hundreds of millions dollars for
causes and charities worldwide. Facebook has helped educate the
illiterate, empower women, feed the hungry, house the homeless, fund
scientific research for countless technologies -medical and commercial.
Facebook (and Twitter) has helped propagate political revolutions of
freedom through the world, and allows like minded individuals all over
the planet to communicate unimpeded by the limits of human
transportation, region, culture, race, or the oppressions of government
or religion. It connects, it teaches, it learns, it's the new internet.

I would beg to differ on your opinion that Facebook is a "waste of time".

Regards,
Eric
