    I've got a facebook account, but I hardly ever check it anymore...maybe once every 3 months or so. I hate all the applications and all of the people I didn't like sending me friend requests. One guy that I even got into a fistfight with sent me a friend request, which made do this :confused: All the friends that I want to keep in touch with, I hang out with or call regularly if they live far away. The rest of my acquaintances I don't really care to keep up with, so I just don't see the point for me anymore....

    Not so long ago, it was received wisdom that anyone who surfed the internet was socially inept, a pervert and/or a sociopath who believed in shape-shifting lizards. Now, people on old-style BBSs spew out the received wisdom that anyone who uses a social networking site is socially inept, a pervert and/or a sociopath who believes in shape-shifting lizards. In five years time, everyone on facebook will be pointing and laughing at people trying out a new form of virtual interaction.

    I love Facebook and MySpace.

    Facebook is fun, with all of the pictures and people's comments, etc. Nobody has ever really known me, so I don't have the problem of people asking to be my friend. Although, I adore the folks on here who will add others as friend simply 'cause of the common interest in Pearl Jam.

    I love getting to know people from all over. It's like the new version of pen pals.

    Me and my neighbor used to do that and then people would ask to see our pictures and we would send them a picture of some naked old man.

    Yeah I'm a total loser.

    Holy Shit that was you !?!?!?

    That's pretty funny.

    I'm on facebook, like it much better than myspace. I love the pictures and updates. With the exception of scrabble, I don't bother with most of the applications.

    scramble and word twist are a lot of fun, too. :)
    i actually like the sites for keeping up with new pearl jam friends that i have met at shows! it also has reacquainted me with people that i haven't seen in years because of distance and that i actually like talking to again.
    so yeah, i'm a fan...even though i'm old. :D

    and thank God for the 'Block this application'-button!!!

    one girl I've NEVER talked to sent me a friend request one time.. :confused: her sis used to be friends with mine so I guess that was the reason.. needless to say I swiftly clicked 'Deny'. :D

    well you accepted my friend request so i am happy for that :D

    it is great to keep in contact with people, and share photos and all the rest

    there is a lot of crap on there as well, but you can pick and choose, i ignore most of the crap on there!

    facebook's pretty cool, it's an easy way to stay in touch with a lot of people.

    kinda stalker-ish though, but I guess it's your own fault for putting your life on it.

    18/F/CA = 45/M/AL :eek:

    I joined back when I was in college and it was only college students that were allowed on it. Since they opened it up I've run into the same thing where people from my high school send me friend requests and we weren't really friends. I see some people on there with like 500 friends, which is just ridiculous. It's an easy way to keep in touch with people though.

    I signed up a few weeks ago and now, all these people that I went to highschool with are contacting me that I was not even friends with. I don't understand. Do you get a fucking prize if you have the most friends? A couple of the girls did not even like me then b/c I was an asshole and now they are requesting to be friends.
    Stupid website. I just don't get it.


    Yea I'm happy enough with myspace. No need for facebook IMO.
