Facebook is neither a verb in English nor in Spanish, fortunately.

To facebook, that is the utmost .....I don't want to get rude.

so we would go with: to write to each other.

En el futuro todos nos escribiremos en Facebook.

I just wanted to add: the above suggestions are utter nonsense.

Facebook will not translate well, because it is slang.

It shouldn't translate because it's a proper noun. - samdie, Dec 1, 2010

This is the cutting edge of Spanish: Nos Facebookiamos

other conjugations:

Te Facebookeo

Me Facebookeas

Dear lord!!!!! - Gocika, Nov 30, 2010
dont say this nonsense, this is not a verb! - 00494d19, Nov 30, 2010
If googlear can be a verb, facebookear can be a verb too! (and before anyone says anything, google it first! ;) - munick, Nov 30, 2010
in Spanish, that would be ´Nos feisbuqueamos´. Likewise, Cool yourself would be ´culéate´ - mediterrunio, Nov 30, 2010

First, you will have to spanish-tize facebook (feisbuc), then you probably can add -ear on the end to convert it into a verb, but you will have to convert the c to a qu to do that (f'éisbuquear—oh, yeah, the emphasis will be on the feis part...so gotta put a tilde on the e, I think...except maybe in certain tenses (like future).

Te feisbuquearé mañana.

Ooookay, that's a mess! Scratch all that. Actually, I think you should say...

En el futuro, nos comunicaremos en Facebook.

Other words could be used in place of comunicar, like hablar, contactar, escribir (like Heidita mentioned), etc. - webdunce, Nov 30, 2010
