Aah Facebook, a place to stay connected with friends and families without actually meet them. That's good if you just want to stay in touch and not meet them :) but that's another story and not my business :)

If you are running Ubuntu there are ways to stay connected to facebook and your whole network easily. You can stay connected with these applications.

• prism-facebook : actually it's a stripped down web browser, without the oooh and the aaah, and automatically goes to facebook.com
  Install it via synaptic package manager, look for prism-facebook
• screenlets' facebook applet : screenlets is a widget-like application for Ubuntu that easily upgraded with new applet.
  Install screenlets via synaptic package manager : look for screenlets;
  and then add facebook applet, download it here and install it via screenlets manager,
• pidgin–facebookchat plugin, a Facebook chat plugin for Pidgin and libpurple messengers. It connects to the new Facebook Chat IM service. Download here. 
  

And while you're logged in Facebook, have you become The Linux Foundation fans? Or join Ubuntu group?
