Facebook Tips for Real People

Facebook is here to stay, for the moment at least...well, remember My Space?

But while it's here, make the most of it to enrich your life and your community.

Don't shoot for the 5000 friend maximum.  It you can't put a face to the name, you probably should "unfriend" them...don't worry, unless they're very tech savvy they'll never notice and if they do, maybe they're worth knowing and adding back.  

Focus instead on developing around 300 to 500 online friends within your immediate community, your family, your work, your interests and those with whom you, no kidding, want to keep up with. 

Then comment in thoughtful ways after carefully reading and understanding what they post and what's going on in their lives.  Focus on their successes and improving your community, then: Get Involved in the Real World:  Join a civic group, church, adopt a pet, volunteer--anything to start expanding your circle of friends IN PERSON.

Make Facebook a tool, not an occupation.
