Millions upon millions of people use Facebook every day.. me included. I used to not touch social networking sites, which is a very ironic thing to say as a blogger. I just find that spending time on Twitter, Facebook and various sites that are just random interactions suck my time and leave me thoughtless.

That being said, there are some real connections out there and no doubt you have heard of some amazingly inspirational stories that have come out of those connections. To give you some hope that not all social networking is full of complainers that act as trolls to complain about the government, here is a small list of

Inspirational Facebook stories
