Quoted from xsvtoys:

But I have always said that Facebook did affect my daily life in a really positive way. Before Facebook rolled around, a large variety of family members, friends, and general acquaintances had a habit of sending me a barrage of emails every day with what they thought were funny jokes, hilarious pictures, stupid news stories, etc. That effectively went to zero now that they do all that on FB.
So I got that going for me. Which is nice.
