I find Facebook to be very entertaining, and also informative.

Only about 10% of my 'friends' are actual friends. The rest are artists from all parts of the world. The neat thing for me is, they (me too) post our work in the albums, and it has been tremendously valuable for me to see what other people are doing. Because I'm researching the art market, I check out galleries, listen to conversations around that issue, and learn quite a lot. I would never have known some of these artists existed, if it not for fb.

Yes, generally speaking most people don't post for critique, but it has been done, and done well. I've asked questions, and have always gotten generous and kind responses.

Basically, I use it for work. And to check on my kids

And yes, it can be addicting.
