I love facebook. I think it's as fun or off putting as you make it out to be.

the moment you start accepting anyone & everyone is what kills it, which is why I only add/accept people I'm interested in, and have no problem avoiding those I don't.

I thought twitter had actually taken over in terms of popularity...from FB....can't be bothered with that one....as for FB I always delete but end up re-activating...I found a lot of people I hadn't seen in years and I like to keep in touch with them... but apart from that I hardly log on anymore...not like I used to about 4/5 years ago.

Twitter's popularity hasn't turned out to be that massive, believe it or not. I got tired of Twitter more than I did Facebook oddly enough.

Yea apart from people who use it for buisness and marketing strategies...those who constantly want to update their status about the most nonsensical things....Why do I need to be updated on your every move at every second of everyday...it's like who gives a shit?...at least for me anyway

That's not odd to me! Twitter is idiotic

Just as Facebook killed MySpace, only something "better" will kill Facebook. As much as you may hate Facebook, until that day comes, it'll be the only game in town.

Yes, facebook was such a massive improvement in design. Twitter simplified it even more, but too much IMO

But I guess some people are still on myspace. It was always way too cluttered for me but if you like sparkles and long load times, I guess it's the way to go

I love Facebook I spend alot of time there.I don't understand why some people feel that they have no privacy on Facebook.I don't post alot of "private" details about my life anyway.If you don't want people knowing about everything that you do,don't post it! I'm just there to have fun,chat with friends and relatives,discuss music,post Youtube videos on the music pages and stay in touch with friends.Facebook is what you make it.

Same here. Even my mom's friends were adding me.

No.

My mom's friend sent me a request and I still haven't responded to it

I have cousins who i don't even like on my page

I don't see what's so terrible about getting back in contact with childhood friends.Four of my FB friends are classmates from elementary school It was exciting to get back in touch with these people! But I'm a nostalgic person anyway (lol),I love to reminisce.

Some people actually got mad at me and stopped talking to me because I deleted them on there I was like:

I don't mind Facebook it's just the tossers who moan about it. If you don't want to hassled by the freaks why are you friends with them? if you get into trouble from something you posted in your status then moan about then DON'T TYPE IT!

It's good if it used properly but there are loads of freaks on there so if it gets too much i just either delete them off or click unlike!

They were like that on Twitter.

I like FB. I use it daily but I always get $hit from friends/family because I dont photo whore myself all over my page or keep tagged pix of myself. I think you have to do what u feel comfortable doing and not be pressured into posting things just because everyone else is doing it. I am 100% in control of what I do on FB and thats that.

Oh well, on Twitter you don't have to follow them even if they start following you.

Thank god people don't understand twitter nor tumblr where I live, that's why I'm still on there If people start looking me up, I'ma have to cut some bitches.

That's true.

I don't understand why people with Facebook accounts look at me like I have three heads when I tell them I don't have an account.

And of course I get asked "Why not?" Not a casual, genuinely curious "why not". More of a "What the fuck is wrong with you?" sort of why not. As if a reason for not having one is needed.

I've seen people on Twitter who if you unfollow them, they'll find who exactly unfollowed them and will put them on blast. "Hey everyone, this person *name* unfollowed me"

like it's the ultimate insult

I only joined a few weeks ago. One good thing I can say about it, is I found two of my good friends from my old whorin' days that I haven't seen in about 15 years. However, from what I've seen, a lot of people use their full names which means they have family and coworkers on their page so they really don't let their hair down and be themselves. I've seen folks that are the biggest whores out there with religious scriptures all over their page. I don't know who they think they're fooling. I find myself "watching my mouth" when I'm on other people's pages unless I see that it's the type of page where other people are letting their hair down. One of my old friends is now a minister's wife....boy, is that a change! I usually talk with her in private and talk the same stuff I always have, just not explicit. Another old friend of mine has a lot of those survey type things and games so I usually just talk to her in private too.

When I started my page though, I didn't dare use my full name. I simply used "Vain Andy". Number one, for fear of identity theft and number two, I didn't want family and coworkers finding it because I like to talk shit and if I feel like talking the explicit shit on my page that y'all know I love to talk sometimes, I don't have to worry about them seeing it. Although, I talk plenty of shit in front of them already, just R Rated.

The org is still much funner though because there's a lot more people and we're all up in the same room together instead of spread out all over the place. The org is like the big whorehouse that all the whores come back to and gather once they leave their own street corner.

I don’t understand why people feel so strongly against facebook. If it’s not your thing, that’s cool, but why be so jubilant if it somehow “fails”. And I hardly think losing a handful of users is any kind of “fail”.

It’s probably reached a saturation point in the US. While there are certainly users who are giving it up, I also wonder how many are people giving up maintaining the account they set up for their pet, or the second account they set up for friends-only while they kept a more public “legit” account for work and family.

It's kind of like cell phones, I remember their was resistance to that as being invasive, and unnecessary unless you were running a business or taking care of someone. Even I got one very late in the game.

But you don't see too many people against them now. It just became a common part of things.

Like cars. Or frozen dinners...

I've never had a cell phone and probably never will unless home phones become extinct. They are too damn little. I can barely hear out of the damn things! Plus, there are times that I don't want to be found or simply don't feel like talking. With a home phone and answering machine, you can always lie to someone and say that you weren't home. But with a cell phone that you can take with you everywhere, you can't lie and that causes arguements about "why didn't you answer the phone".

I know for certain that if I deleted my FB account, my in-laws would take it very personally. So basically, I keep a "dummy" account, just so everyone feels like I'm willing to play. I check-in about every other day.

I hear ya! There's two or three people from school I'd like to hear from again but there are a lot of motherfuckers I went to school with that I'd like to forget! And if they did find me, their new "niceness" would be phony. I'm still the same person I always was and if they didn't like me then when I was in a closet, they sure as hell aren't going to like me now that the bull is out of the barn and charging! Ole!!!!

Timmy84 said:

I never knew Facebook had an appeal. The only good thing about it was you could get in touch with friends and family. Other than that I wouldn't have messed with it.

You don't need facebook for that. An email client and a telephone is all I need to stay in contact with the people who are REALLY my friends. I'll never use facebook, they're like big brother, and I don't want that.

Any calls I missed always get the excuse "I was driving"

You mean you weren't driving?!
