I have a love-hate relationship with Facebook. If there was a status update for Facebook, it would read: It's complicated.

I've been on Facebook for years, and come to love it. I check it frequently for work reasons, to read what others are posting and commenting on. As Opinion editor, I use it to promote and share commentaries published in The Straits Times. I use Messenger to harangue contributors, asking them to write for The Straits Times. I'm sometimes able to identify topics that whet their interests, by looking at what they have been posting.
