It seems that my personal experience of FB is a lot more positive than most of the commenters on this thread! I have two profiles: one for my blogging, and a personal one just for close friends and family. Alhamdulillah, my blogging one has been a great resource for recruiting people to campaigns, and seeking help for projects. My personal one has also been a blessing, as I can now connect with family who live in other countries, all in one place. It's not like we were on the phone to each other, and then moved to a less personal platform; rather, we had not spoken for years, added each other on FB, and now keep in touch on a regular basis, masha'Allah - even if it is just the odd "salaam", but it is better than before (which was nothing!).
