The power of Facebook is growing by the day. We are seeing people of all ages embracing this social media powerhouse. Families are reconnecting and actually using Facebook to communicate with loved ones all over the World. People are finding and reconnecting the friends that they haven't spoken with since High School. Young and old alike are using Facebook as a primary communication tool. We believe that ultimately you will see a significant decrease in overall letter delivery at the U.S. Postal Service, due in large part to the ease of communication that Facebook provides. It's so simple to send a message to anyone you are connected with. In addition, you will soon see a rapid expansion of this Social Media tool on PDA (Hand Held) devices.
