Facebook is for Old Fogies
Read this little article from Lev Grossman at Time. It's a funny list of why he says Facebook is for the middle aged generation. The best one is #3: "We never get drunk at parties and get photographed holding beer bottles in suggestive positions. We wish we still did that. But we don't." Ha!
