Re: Facebook - is it worth it?

if I want to upload nekkid pics of my ex for everyone to see how evil she is for cheating on me and breaking my heart then there is no better place to do it than mine and her [hacked] bookface accounts. Right?

But, yeah, if I want to upload nekkid pics of my ex for everyone to see how evil she is for cheating on me and breaking my heart then there is no better place to do it than mine and her [hacked] bookface accounts. Right?

Call me old fashioned but i manage to stay in touch with family and friends without facebook. People i've not spoken to or seen for years remain just that, usually for good reasons.
Whatever people get from the site for their own ends, fair play to em - but from what i've seen of some of it, it's just not for me.

^^For some, it is used to keep friends in the loop with what has been going on in their life (Pictures, status updates, etc)....For others, it is a way of networking with other like minded people (Music, art, business, etc).

Some people like it because they can upload a picture of their newborn baby, new dog or whatever, and grandma/grandpa (Who might live across the country) can login and see it..

But that's the problem - you are uploading these images and thoughts to a public site. Who goes and puts their photo albums in the window to show everyone? Surely it's better to just send an email out to the family with the pictures and updates ?

It just seems so impersonal, as if clicking on a link saying "Yes" is the equivalent to a real friendship.

Nah, do not think people who use FB are inferior. Many people love spending 3+ hours of their day gossiping or commenting on silly pictures, was wondering whether there is any other compelling use for it. For contact over big distances, email seems to work just fine.... For work, LinkedIn is great. Not dissing it, just don't see the point

if you don't like it or think you're too cool for it, lol, who cares, don't use it.. but please don't attempt to make people that do use it and enjoy using it feel inferior, just makes you sound like a twat

Re: Facebook - is it worth it?

it depends what you're trying to use it for.. i've met and kept in touch with a lot of friends on fb, re-connected with some old friends etc..

Just about every post that supports Facebook still manages to come up with valid reasons NOT to be on it.
