10 Ways Facebook Can Change Your Life

Speak Your Mind

If you're someone who likes to say your piece, express your thoughts, even offer an opinion or two (or 50), but are shy or rarely have a captive audience--Facebook is the ideal forum for you. Whether it's expressing your excitement about a great new tapas restaurant or your disappointment with a town-hall ruling, put it out there for your friends to read in a wall post or link. If it's related to an important issue, you'll feel better getting it off your chest. You might even discover other friends (or friends of friends) who have the same feelings you do, leading you to form a group to do something about it. Sharing restaurant or store reviews can also provide valuable information to your friends who may not have the time to flip through Zagat. Just remember to always choose your words wisely and to monitor the frequency with which you use them.
