In grad school I had a friend I had a mild crush on. She posted on Facebook that she was going to a concert by this over-the-top disco band -- "Anyone want to come along?"

I did. Not only did I like this person, but ridiculous disco music is very much my idea of a good time! We had a blast.

Maybe that evening happens without FB, maybe not. FB offers a way to ping your whole social network and see what comes back. Sometimes nothing -- which can be a downer. But sometimes it works, and when it does it's awesome.
