LOL Well, I do log in all the time. My kids use it a lot - posting pictures and stuff like that. If I don't care to reconnect with someone who tries to friend me, I just don't friend them back, or I filter them if they're one of those people who post every five minutes in case we're afraid we'll miss that he/she walked into the kitchen or something. I'm sure FB must be making money somehow, or they would have gone out of business by now, but you can never have too much profit... The apps probably are the most reliable source, I agree. I have enough friends and relatives who use it regularly that it's very handy for keeping up with people I might otherwise put off calling until we'd been out of touch for a ridiculous amount of time. I like being part of my family's (including here cousins, cousins' children, nieces, etc.) daily or semi-daily lives. It keeps us more connected than if we just called once or twice a year or relied on Christmas cards to keep up with what's going on.
