* A friend of mine runs a posh burger van that moves around a lot, and he puts "today's location" on Facebook.

* My wife talks with her family in Brazil through Facebook, sharing photos

* My Church receives a lot of help requests from people in trouble through Facebook

* Some abuse charities talk give support to victims through Facebook
