[Margaret Pilkington]

My daughter used to be on, as a way of keeping in contact with her Uni friends...but she has not been on the site now for almost a year...she has the e-mail addresses of those people she really wants to stay in touch with and that is all that is required.
I think that younger people(by that, I mean those who are younger than me) set great store by knowing what everyone else is saying and doing....and most of it is irrelevant to real life anyway.
My only experience of Facebook(I even hate typing the word) was seeing the stuff on my daughters page...and her page was mainly about her professional stuff.
I don't think she misses being part of this social network..she can't fo or she would be active on it...and isn't.
