Often, it is just difficult to find a ‘good news story’. So, when this headline crossed the services about Facebook, it was simple a ‘good news story’:
“…After spending a year searching for the son she gave up for adoption 20 years ago in phone books, adoption registries and on the Internet to no avail, a friend suggested searching for him on Facebook.
“When my friend told me about the search tool and I typed in my son’s name, Travis Sheppard, I couldn’t believe it when I saw a photo of him,” she said.”

Facebook has been slammed for things like privacy issues, security, phishing, and on and on. Facebook also brings people together… and in this case, it ends a long search.
