Facebook, nostalgia vs. gossip?

I’ve been catching up with old mates all these days thanks to Facebook. Joined the network about a month ago and ever since, I’ve found a bunch of those high-school mates I haven’t seen for ages. Some of them are married, others about to get married, some have been and lived in places where I’ve been without knowing each other, which is kinda funny and sad because we never met. I’m not quite into the games, but really enjoy reading comments in certain groups. Business wise, Facebook it’s mental; the owners estimate its value in billions of dollars!!! A good friend of mine said, Facebook is successful just because people like gossip, but on the contrary, I reckon it is quite popular because people are so nostalgic. Long life to Facebook!
