ly surprised by the usefulness of this social network.I have made connections with AfroSpear members, bloggers, high school friends, college friends, BDPA colleagues and others. However, I haven't found many relatives online yet.
Here are some Facebook groups that villagers might be interested in checking out: 
- Afrosphere Bloggers Association - (visit ABA website)
- Black Data Processing Associates (BDPA)
- Blackonomics Million Dollar Club - (see BMDC overview)
- Blacks Gone Geek - (visit BGG blog)
- Black Women's Political Exchange - (see backstory)
- Call on Fox News to Fire Liz Trotta - (see weak apology from Liz Trotta)
I invite you to connect with me on Facebook. Mostly, I would be very interested to learn about your experience with Facebook? Positive? Negative? Or are you simply refusing to check out Facebook at all?

In all honesty, I have never thought about Facebook.
I read some articles about how difficult it is to close out an account on Facebook. Also I remember there being questions about personal security etc.
Since Ohio has made it their business to monitor teachers with accounts on line, I tend to keep it limited.
But, after reading your article, it seems that checking out Facebook a second time may be in order.
This is a coincidence - I too have just become a member. I seen nearly every member of my family on board and thought if you can not beat them - join them. Still learning the ropes, but enjoying the whole scenario.
Lady D - One of my colleagues kept pounding on me about the need to check out Facebook. Finally, I did so in effort to increase awareness of my non-profit. That led to my learning that Facebook wasn't just for kids. For what it's worth, I now recommend it for folks...
RacyKacy - Perhaps we will get connected on Facebook in the near future...
I resisted Facebook for a couple of years, but finally gave in last year and I love it. I keep up with all my friends all over the world with it.
I do get sick of all the 3rd party applications though. I do NOT need another "wall"!
Los Angelista - I agree ... FB can be overwhelming if you try to deal with all the 3rd party applications. I went a little crazy last weekend when the Lakers got into the NBA Finals and added a 3rd party application for them. I will remove it once the Finals are over (smile)...
Does Facebook have a widget you can put on your page?
I'll start beefing up the Facebook setup once I finish my resume profile on Linkedin.
Martin - I'm not aware of any Facebook widgets that you can use on your blog. Perhaps others reading your comment can provide more insight.
Do you have FB account?
