Facebook is great to keep in touch with friends, and family members who live/go to school across the country, even across the world. If you want to "socialize" go out! Movies, night clubs, bars, coffee shops, you name it, there are plenty of places to be social. If you believe reality TV is real, and that Facebook is being social, it is time to wake up and smell the roses or wet leaves if you will.
