Let us know what programs you liked and what programs you would like to see.

How many people remember the camp song that goes "Make new friends but keep the old, one is silver and the other is gold". That's how I feel about Facebook.

We're a social species. Our survival has been highly dependent on our interactions with one another. Social networking is little more than an application of this instinct in a new medium: the Internet. In the good old days, we had chat rooms. Ah, the MSN days.

It was a highly addictive and simultaneously chaotic way to spend one's time.
