I have to admit, if and when you join Facebook.. within the 1st week you are engrosed with it; +1 friends, event invitations, random group joining's, photo albums.. It's very addictive.
To be honnest, the main outlook is to be a social network site and yes it helps me keep in contact with friends, keep-to-date with birthdays ect...
[b]BUT[/b]
I think it has a more sinnister side; some people turn into Facebook addicts (cant help but to log into the bastard site any chance they get while they are onine) which takes over there life and makes them "un social".
So now, you may not have thought about this but because you've spent so much time communicating to people through this 'social' networking site, it may have triggered some sort of 'real life' (not on the interweb) social psycological interfuckup [b](Social Anxiety Disorder?)[/b], where it makes you find it hard to communicate with people because you've become shy due to not socalizing enough with people face-to-face.
Also I cant help but to think that the government/police are using it against us to gather up infomation and expose more personal things without you realising. People can also see how much time you spend online (which is pretty much most of the time you spend logged into facebook) which I think is pretty personal.

All in all I think its a bad thing but I still cant help but to log into the bastard when ever I'm on the net.. What do you think?
.. and yes, I am logged in right now.
I don't use Facebook or MySpace. They both seem like a waste of time.
Honestly I was against facebook, but I'm moving so I just made one to say in touch with old friends.
Just don't play their shit games like farmville or whatever and you'll be fine.
I once made an account months ago.
Still receiving spam everyday.
I use facebook only to talk to friends since all of them are like, HURP DURP USE AIM! Hurrrr. And I hate aim, it sucks dick.
What a stupid question

If you don't want people to know, don't post it on facebook, simple.
Facebook doesn't consume large amounts of time anyway, go on it, see if there's any notifications or funny wall posts, leave. If anything I waste much more time trawling facepunch.
I just don't like that they don't let you properly delete your account. It frightens me! :ohdear:
I started using Facebook when every girl in my class got it :smug:
I use facbook for friends and family, it works really well actually.
They only reason you wouldn't have a Facebook account if all of your friends have one is if you're one of those dumbshit "fight the system" folks.
I don't know anyone who is addicted to Facebook in the way that people make out is a problem.
If I'm to be completely honest Facebook has probably benefited my life outside of the internet quite a lot.
Way better than myspace too. It promotes conversation.
Free Artscow mousepads, man.

I was actually thinking of creating a Facebook account, just for shits and giggles; it wouldn't have any personal info...
i just use it to talk to friends because im to lazy to add people on msn
Like rah rah many people like this so I hate it rah

I beg to differ. :colbert:

That's only because you have no friends.
I have a facebook, and I get on it frequently. It's a very helpful tool to communicate with people without having to converse with them every day.
I quit facebook because all I see is a million girls who don't know how to spell, never stfu, and think they're cool because they have 2k friends (most of which they don't know) and constant "omg, ur so beutifull Rachael, dont let any guy think ur not :) :) :) :) :)"
Forgot to mention, this Rachael is an attention whore who also sleeps with every person she comes in contact with and then bitches of how no-one ever calls her pretty.
I use it for free stuff and its a great way to talk to people if you don't want to DL any programs.
I laugh at people saying FB and MySpace is a waste of time, when they're wasting more time here on facepunch. FB or MySpace doesn't really take much time, it's like having steam or MSN really.
I use it. It's alright.
The only thing that annoys me is that 90% of the people who have me added don't actually talk to me. Some people who add me have never even met me. It's ridiculous.

Alright give me a reason why you don't have a Facebook while your friends do

Pretty much this.
Also, is it just the girls in my school, or do girls say, "I LOVE U!!!!!" to all of their girl friends a FUCKTON?
i was wholly against social networking
then i got facebook
i guess it's okay, half an hour a day

There is a "hide from news feed" feature. It's pretty useful.
I won't be surprised if Facebook became a legitimate form of ID.

Facebook is swarmed with retards and attention whores, people I hardly relate to.
Show me a reason why I should create myself a FB account, a good one :colbert:
