(65,335 posts)of a Japanese word Thursday evening, but I couldn't get access unless I "liked" the site on Facebook. Needless to say, I went to Google translations instead for the information I needed, even though I actually do have a Facebook page. I never use it for my own stuff, and certainly I don't "like" stuff on Fb.
I just joined Fb so I could access the photographs of my friends and family, mainly my daughter's. But she took her site down last year, because she now works with NASA, and many government agencies frown on Fb sites for employees. My son also works for the government--the State Department--so he never set up a Facebook site in the first place.
But many of my friends, as well as my other family--including my extended family on my father's side--are all on Fb, so I like to visit their sites to see photos sometimes and to find out what is going on. Also, sometimes when following a news story I go to a relevant Fb site to see more info.
