Apropos a Facebook Love Story

I work online much developing websites for all kinds of customers - from those that sell velcro to those that sell artworks. So I get to spend a lot of time on the web, and want to chat about my favorite website.
The first came into contact with Facebook through my sister-in-law, who used it obsessively during her college years. I always made fun of her as I looked over her shoulder and laughed at pictures and the pithy comments they traded back and forth. When my wife and I moved to the States full-time, I needed a way to keep in touch with my English friends, and Facebook has saved my life. I get to feel like I'm still there, sharing the jokes, going to all the parties vicariously, and most recently using Facebook chat to hang out in real time. It makes being 3000 miles away from home that much easier, as I still get homesick sometimes. Talking to my friends and family helps to keep the sad times at bay, and also has meant that a few of them have decided to make the trip over to visit. This means that they're now friends with my friends on Facebook, which makes me even happier.
