Facebook for me is a means of communicating with family members interstate & overseas, as well as friends who are local, interstate & overseas.
I also met a lot of friends through it and share photo's with all of the above. Our kite club use Facebook to communicate with members and plan fly-days as well as our huge festival. I used to run a camping group for singles on there, until i became not single, though have retained several friends from the group - people i would otherwise have never met.
Friends organise social functions/parties using Facebook's 'events' function.
When my brother died and i needed to get lifts to & from the airport, i just put out a generic post that i needed help, and had several offers - that saved me from having to call people and ask, which could have taken a lot of time and would have been difficult for me in the circumstances - the same for advising of my brother's medical situation and death - an announcement post on Facebook meant neither my parents or i had to make those phone calls to the more distant relatives and friends.
Friends have done birth announcements using Facebook, we share adverts for jobs, etc and really good deals with our friends, I have found some amazing camping spots through Facebook groups that i'd otherwise never have heard about.
I met my partner through a Facebook group, i'd never have met him if it weren't for Facebook.
It's a handy tool when used correctly.
