I hardly ever use snail mail any more, but if I were having a party and only using Facebook, I'd at least make a list of all I wanted to come and send a personal invitation, which FB allows you to do. But then again, I'd never invite like that but instead use the telephone and make actual contact.DJanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07152183871573797791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8679304203742128093.post-33406632041501082902010-09-08T07:46:36.567-04:002010-09-08T07:46:36.567-04:00I just opened a facebook account the other day and...I just opened a facebook account the other day and I have to admit that I just don't get it.<br /><br />Now if the invitation was via Twitter, I'd perfectly understand. . .Liz Wilkey (a.k.a.
