I know where you're going with this and this argument is a total non-starter. Let me ask you a question: do you have friends or family that live in other cities who you only talk to occasionally? Well if you do, Facebook gives you a peek into what they do between those times. When you talk, you have some idea what they've been up to. It can actually make for better conversation because you have a list of talking points.

All of this of course assumes that you use the program for it's intended purpose of staying in touch with your friends, not just adding every drunk person you met at the bar last night and all 450 from your high school graduating class.

Of course i have friends and family in other states and coutries. Who needs the face just to communicate with people you know. It's a sad world we live in when people can't find things to talk about without a list of the last crap that was taken by uncle bob and stupid pics of jenny from the block.

Most of my friends and fam do use the face, even the wifes uses it. I still think it's ridiculous, unnecessary, and all about "look how many friends i've got, and all these people like what i posted i must be cool."

This is not true, all my friends that are my age (30's) use it aswell so i don't think it's the age thing. I just think it's dumb, i've never used it as i know how to use the damn phone to talk with the people i know. I get the same lame answers from the people i know like, "I use it to reconnect with old friends" if you were really friends you would have never lost track to begin with. Or "I meet so many women (or men whatever the case may be) on there you just don't know." Well incase you haven't noticed the world is very over populated and people have been hooking up for thousands of years as proof of such. Some people get their feelings so hurt that they kill themselves, or beat the other person up and/or kill them. All this over what some azz clown has said in print, it's just words people. "Sticks and stones, may break my bones but WORDS will never hurt me." I know some will say, "well your on this site and it's a type of social network." This is true, but atleast we are on here mostly for info and/or to connect with others that have 370's. If my friends were into cars i'd just hang with them. Well i could rant for hours about this, but any longer of a post and most won't read.

"F face book in the A"

People ask me how I can live/survive without all of the modern amenities such as a cell phone, ipod, flat screen, etc, etc.. My answer: Remember 1993? Just like that. If somebody sends me an e mail, and expects a punctual reply from me , they are dreaming. Last night was the first time I checked e mail in a month. Read one and was done. If it is important, then call me.

I wonder if anyone else sees the obvious irony that you claim to live in "1993" and refuse to check emails but you have 900+ posts on an internet message forum?

I see it

This whole thread is ironic. What started as a rant on Facebook's useless discussion has turned into a useless discussion. It's like a stripper judging a porn star because its not classy. Unless you live under a rock, we're all technology sluts in one form or another.

I am sorry to inform you that in 1993 I had email* and access to the net, including forums like this. I do enjoy this forum, unlike e mail, hence 3 posts per day.

* and all I got were the same jokes with dozens of headers, over and over.

FB allows me to see coworkers in bikinis i couldnt normally see, expanding my spank bank. Seems good to me.

If so see the next line.

Some people use it. Some don't. If you're not on there, you're a ghost. People said the same thing about texting: "Why not just call the person?" - uh, cause there is a whole dialog that has to happen and waste my time. What if I wanted to text everybody something? What if all those people could choose to read the text or not? Enter Facebook.
