Why is that? There is no need for any more personal information on facebook than on Z4-forum.

I watch with amusement as my youngest teenager battles constantly with the rivalry, comments, one upmanship, bitching, etc. etc. between her friends (and no so close friends) on MSN, facebook, text messages and so on. Most weeks it ends up in a real phone call to communicate and sort things out.
Kids will do this with or without a computer, phone etc. For mature adults, millions of whom use facebook, it can be a great way to keep in touch with old and new friends, exchange ideas and socialize, to some extent. The great thing about it is you can block anyone you don't know from even knowing you're on it and you don't have to communicate with anyone you don't wish to.
