It's a great way to reconnect with long lost friends. I've had people I haven't been in contact with for over 10-20 years find me. My main website is my source of business, but it's nice to have a social networking connection too. I’ve had a Facebook page and a MySpace page for quite some time.

I hired someone last year for our marketing department ( straight out of Penn State Behrend) in part because of her Facebook experience. We use it to remind all the high school and college kids about upcoming blood drives. We have close to 1000 friends and I am pretty sure it is the most successful effort of any blood bank in the United States. It is a wonderful tool if the 16 to 23 year olds are a big part of your market. You can check us out at: Blood Bank Brittany. The Community Blood Bank of NW PA has a HUGELY successful Facebook page.

Though tedious at times with Vampire and Werewolf, What Friends star are you and other strange plugins, you're right in that a simple "Ignore" keeps your focus and interest well defined. Well defined Web2.0 applications like Facebook offer a terrific way to have "chats on the front porch" on a number of porches. Oh...and you can post really cool videos too. Become Joel's Facebook friend and you'll be treated to a moving rendition to a favorite "BoyzIIMen" song. ;) FaceBook has clearly created an opportunity to establish its mission but more importantly show its willingness to stick to it.
