Facebook - Not Just for Kids
Many think
of “My Space” and “Facebook” as a networking site for teenagers and college
students.
Facebook has become, however, a site for corporations, small businesses, and not-for-profits to reach out and connect.
We hope you will give it a try (and if you have teenagers or college age kids, surprise them with your own Facebook page!)
