    I have thus far resisted the urge to set up a Facebook account and update all of you every 5 minutes with my random thoughts like, "We're out of milk." "I'm doing laundry." "Hey, there's something shiny over there." (Where would I be without the "Instant Thoughts" thread...)

    Also, I am very private. Which is why I've shared my address with Dimi, Eyed and Chadwick. :shock: (If I suddenly go missing, please inform the appropriate authorities in Greece, Idaho and Washington State.)

    I can never remember who people are when I meet them. "Friend" requests would thoroughly befuddle me. I can't remember the names of the people in my own division at work, let alone someone I went to high school with decades ago.

    Mr. Unlost is on Facebook. And now that he has mastered his latest smartphone, all of his friends know exactly what he's doing at all times. This is something even I have trouble feigning interest in, so I just don't get the whole thing.

    Of course, now that Senrock mentioned the 65 cent cheese fries, I may have to rethink this. :think:

    Hey, let me tell you, anybody that knows me knows that i dont like people all up in my business. I HATE the constant updates and whereabouts like the ones you mentioned up there. If I want my frenz to know where I am or to join me, i'll texxxt them! Having said all that and agreeing with you.......the "perks" you get from businesses are pretty cool. Borders has awesome coupons and promotions and so does Dunkin Donuts which, i cant find exxxcept for when im in NYC! (just to name a few) :lol: And its great advertisement for work purposes! ;)

    I laugh when I get requests from people I went to high school with. I always wanna type back that I never liked you then and I sure as hell don't wanna be your friend now. But I just click decline. lol

    :lol::lol: Yep, I had a friend request from a guy that was a nasty violent a-hole who floored me over some pathetic argument. When I pointed this out he conveniently didn't remember the incident.

    I thought those kind of updates were left to Twitter... now that's something I REALLY don't get! :lol:

    It got me for free into a small gig by Robert Plant to launch his new album ... with free drinks ... it's not all bad ;)

    ... and I just hide anything I don't want to see in my news feed (all the games) ... and don't think I'll ever use 'Places' as that's too much info for me
    So are we strangers now? Like rock and roll and the radio?

    Facebook's what you make it.

    I can't be arsed with games or shitty applications... I've even deleted most of my 'likes' and groups. I, like Chime, block stuff I don't want to see and only use it to contact people or to share my world with those I choose to share my world with.

    I've never had any 'drama' on facebook. I don't seek out people I don't like (I've never blocked anyone, if someone pisses me off I just de-friend and ignore anything I see with their name attached) and if they're childish enough to seek me out, well then, let 'em *shrugs*
    Been to this many PJ shows: Reading 2006 London 2007 Manchester & London 2009 Dublin, Belfast, London, Nijmegen & Berlin 2010 Manchester 1 & Manchester 2 2012...

    ... and I still think Drive-By Truckers are better.

    yip... there is more drama on here... ironically this actual thread contains more 'drama' than I've ever seen on Facebook... and no-one creates more 'drama' than the opening poster himself ;)
    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

    Exactly. If you don't like the game updates and requests, you just block them and you don't see them. And no one is forcing you to update your status with mundane activities. For the most part, I just give a few updates, post some pics, and that's about it.

    Someone mentioned the discounts and perks. Twitter is good for that too.

    i'll wait till facebook dies, then i'll join it

    i'm a believer of not rushing into anything new, which is also why i absolutely refuse to buy a blue-ray player
