Putting On a Good Facebook

Ah, Facebook! Let's face it; not everyone writes great status updates. I have one friend who, every time he posts, posts 10 strident political diatribes. Not one, but 10! I have another friend who aired her bitter divorce updates daily and if I see one more cute cat status I shall hurl up a fur ball.

But some people get it right. Amanda Frentz, development associate with New Orleans City Park, gets it right. Her posts for City Park are a wonderful blend of information and fun, and it's all so very interactive. She makes the park feel like a valued friend.
