I've been very sceptical about facebook, but I've joined, and am quite amazed at the power and scope of it. It's a social networking tool, yes, and very popular with the youngsters, but when it scanned my address book, I discovered there are numerous professionals, businesses and organisations I know that have pages.
I was invited to join the thing by young nephews and nieces, but very quickly your contacts expand, because not only do you get to have them as "friends" but you have access to all their contacts too, and it detects those that are mutual friends, or that you might know. Everyone can see what everyone else is up to, their posts, pictures, comments, etc.
I've got Lucy to join up, and very quickly she's created a vast network of filipino contacts - individuals and organisations, and it's a brilliant way of spreading the word about our new Philippines business.
