Another advantage of facebook is making new friends. Facebook makes meeting new people extremely easy due to the fact that it allows you to add up to thousands of friends, and acts as social melting pot of the internet. If you comment on a friends status, and one of their friends comment on it, maybe you two will strike up your own conversation. This can lead to a great friendship down the road. Most people find it a lot easier to start a conversation with someone over facebook than in real life, so a lot of high-school relationships tend to start there. It’s as simple as a “you should text me some time.”
