#55: Getting the Most Out of Facebook

Sign up for a FaceBook account were very easy. The minute I’ve done, my three children pictures popped up. They made me laughed. Next thing I knew was one of my daughters accepted me as “friend.”

Next search took me to a few more of familiar names and faces; they are cousins, nieces and nephews from other states (Massachusetts, California …) in foreign countries as close as Canada, Puerto Rico … or as far as VietNam, Australia …

Using Find More, it surprised me to... a thread "Uong" union. I have a very unique last name; it's only come from one tiny village in the north of VietNam. If your last name (or your mother last name) is Uong and you are Vietnamese (there are some Korean, Chinese... with the same last name) we must be related some way. Only today, we have to introduce ourselves like: my father is … my mother is … or maybe stretch up to my grandfather …, my great grandfather … Through this thread I learned these "Uong" are all ages and from all over places. Everyone was so excited to learn about the other "Uong" from the other world.

I added flair to my account then to find it was a hard decision for what to add, I don't intend to visit every day. It’s really a fun and adventured experience.

FaceBook is just another social web site, I don't think I have time to spend now but I will keep my Facebook account open, perhaps visit it once a while, to check on union page (?) May be I will find it useful someday.
