"Let's Facebook them"

The concept of Facebook amazes me. I truly have a hard time grasping how all consuming it has become. Everyone is a member and if you want to see anything about anyone all you have to do is "facebook" them. The website has even been made into a verb.

I noticed the other day that Facebook was partnering with ABC to bring election results on the night of "super Tuesday". In a way this is a good thing it gets more students involved. A politically unactive generation has an outlet to get involved in. On the other hand all that is Facebook is not good. The amount of pull that this website has is amazing. A website is advertised on it and students flock to it. Every single aspect of a students life is documented through wall posts and pictures.

I guess all things are like this, with the good comes the bad. It is interesting to think about. Does the good outweight the bad? Is it worth having a Facebook account? Do people my age realize that once something is out there it is there for good?
