Last week the Barrow Journal asked readers if they thought Facebook was helping or killing modern romance.

An overwhelming majority agreed it was not for the best.

A total of 75% decided Facebook was killing modern romance, while only 25% thought it was actually helping. The group whose social life is most affected by Facebook is the teen and young adults.

Seventeen magazine ran a poll of 10,000 teens ranging from 16-21 years of age. The poll suggested what many already knew. Of the entire selected poll group, 79% said that after meeting someone new they would send a “friend” request on Facebook within one week. After making a new friend 60% said they would regularly “stalk” the new friends profile page.

A new poll question is listed each week at www.barrowjournal. com.

There is a diff between "stalking" and visiting someone's facebook page. I regularly visit my friends pages and visit mine, so what????? I won't say they are stalking me or me them.

You old farts just make me laugh!
