I'm not a fan or user of FB but it obviously has a couple of good points.
Earlier this summer while I was walking the dog at South Beach in Freo I spotted a very dehydrated Macaw parrot that was sitting on the dunes just waiting to get mauled by a dog or blown out to sea on the strong easterly wind that had been blowing for a couple of days. I managed to get it back to my car without losing a finger to it's sharp beak and took it to a bird vet next to Reggies shop in Myaree.
The young lady at the desk (obviously a FB user) managed to find the owners who had posted about losing one of their pet Macaws 3 days earlier about 5 or 6 kms from where I found it. It was meant to be that they got it back because if it had managed to get airborne again it would have most likely been shark bait out in Cockburn sound with that easterly blowing.....
That's 2 +++'s for Facebook - I haven't heard of too many positives about it though
