Today's post deals with a number of forum and chatrooms. So I would like to start with my favorite, Facebook.

Facebook is a social utility that connects people with friends and others who work, study and live around them. People use Facebook to keep up with friends, upload an unlimited number of photos, share links and videos, and learn more about the people they meet. It also has some wonderful groups like mine, Red River Writers, and fan pages like my Robin Falls Kids.
