Facebook.com for Travel

Facebook.com for Travel

    I believe it is now a necessity to use Facebook.com for safety reasons. The e-mail addresses of friends and family members are not being answered.

    If there was a travel emergency, I would write people on Facebook first, sadly because the majority of my friends and family check Facebook daily, and often forget to check their e-mail. It has become priority form of communication for many.

Reasons to use Facebook.com when you travel:

1. It will keep you connected with people you meet if and when they change e-mail addresses.

2. My nieces and nephews change their emails so often they are valueless.

3. I can reach people in business faster, because they play more than they work.

4. Facebook is a personal profile connected with someone's name, and most people only have one Facebook account as oppose to multiple email addresses.

5. Many friends have stopped checking there regular e-mails, i now write them on Facebook to get a reply.

6. Visa Applications: I need invitations from some countries, I can friend people in other countries and they can give me the necessary invitation to get a visa.

7. Visa Applications: I need to have references, I can list two names found on Facebook from people in the country for my application.

8. Bypass Reservation Systems: Kayak, Travelocity, Hotels.com do not allow me to write the Hotel direct. Often the Hotel has a Facebook page and I can arrange better fees outside the on line booking sites.

BlackBerry Smartphone Bypass

Note: The cost of Verizon BlackBerry or ATT is dangerous and you need to take great caution, or you may get a 5000-60,000 phone bill.

      I have been able to write and receive message using the BlackBerry Bold by Verizon, the Facebook messages appear the same as e-mails. I think this is the method Facebook will use to become the dominant email provider, they will depend on Smartphones to lead the takeover, while Google and Yahoo believe full size computers are still the lead for Internet use.
