Facebook is the devil.

It is Hell for friendships, the firey pit of forgetfulness where many a friendship has slowly died on the alter of good intentions.

Oh yes - I know, facebook is a wonderful thing, a fantastic way to keep in touch with your friends, to re-connect with people you haven't seen since high school or, in my case, since dinosaurs ruled the earth. But is it truly the angel of light and the savior of the lonely that it claims to be?
