I have one, but I'll admit, I don't pay as much attention to it as I should. It not only a great place for keeping in touch with friends, for reconnecting with old friend, for letting off steam about your latest pet peeve, and for posting family photos or interesting sites you have run into elsewhere online, but it also offers the perfect venue for sharing what matters to you most at any given moment.
By sharing, I don't mean beating your readers over the head with non-stop messages about your chosen cause, but I do mean letting people know what you believe. Don't worry about the reactions of others---Facebook allows you to delete any comments you don't like. After all, it IS supposed to be YOUR page.
It can be discouraging sometimes when you post a quote, a picture, or an opinion and get no response at all. Don't worry, unless you are totally obnoxious, someone out there is reading what you have to say---especially if you make the effort to provide interesting posts on a variety of subjects in between the posts about whatever it is you are trying to promote.
Take a little time to comment on the posts that others are making on their blogs, too. Dale Carnegie, in his book, How To Win Friends and Influence People
, says that the most important part of making friends is to let them know you are interested in them and in what is happening in their lives.The Bible tells us that we reap what we sow. If you have a Facebook account, why not sow a few comments on the pages of your friends and see what happens.
