Families and Facebook

In my last post I mentioned that my daughter-in-law had used Facebook as the primary mode of communication to tell everyone that she's expecting a baby. And through the vast line of communication available via technology, my other family members know that I blogged about my daughter-in-law's action.

This evening I checked my Facebook account, and one of my daughters had sent me a piece of Flair. (For the non-Facebook users, "Flair" are virtual buttons with sayings or pictures on them. Facebook users send and collect Flair. I'm still not sure why!) Anyway, the piece of Flair that my daughter sent to me says, "The family that Facebooks together, stays together."

I will admit that Facebook has lessened the distance among my family members--in more ways than just mileage.
