Using Facebook For Your Travels

Nice little article posted today on The Lost Globe, all about using social networking site Facebook on your travels.

If you haven’t delved into Facebook as yet you’re probably in the minority. I quite like Dan’s description, and comparison to MySpace:

Facebook is yet another designed to connect friends although unlike the MySpace popularity contest Facebook prefers that you actually know your friends. When you add a friend it will ask you how you know the person, are they related, a schoolmate, co worker, teammate, partner? Or for travelers, did you travel together and if so where to?

Check out the article for some insight into the various Facebook applications available for travellers.
