I have a handful of TFP members on my facebook friends list and I like interacting with them there and seeing what's going on in their lives in more of a 'real time' sense. Some of them you hardly ever see around here anymore...myself sometimes included.
I'm still only 'close' with a few people. Close as in 'I will tell them things in private that I wouldn't share with everyone,' even if we only communicate a few times a year. Two of those folks I knew long before I came to TFP, though.
But, yes. I like having the facebook dimension. It keeps me in touch when I don't have the time to write diatribes and follow threads.
