I use it since all my friends are halfway around the world it is the best way to stay in touch. With my parents computer illiterate best way to show them my pictures of what all is going on.

I really just don't care about it and people look at me like I am legally insane when I say that.
I find it pretty handy. Saves me texting so much, good for posting large scale messages via statuses, good for long distance communication, and event planning.
It does get annoying at times though when people keep sending invites to farmville and stuff like that. Oh and the whiney emo statuses.

i have one but i make no effort to "facebook" it's just a way of bugging a friend who doesn't have gtalk for me
I am in the exact same boat as you. When my facebook account was "deactivated" I was like... "Okay..." Then, I logged back in, and everything was THE SAME! Why even have a deativate button if all it does it give the deactivater a false sense of security?FargoDog said:
No. On both counts.
I believe that facebook has security issues, not to mention trolls browse those kind of sites looking for easy lulz.

I use it. Quite a lot >.<
I seem to find solace in being able to ***** about things with my friends on it, saving me the hassle of leaving the house and the credit of texting them. It's annoyingly distracting though, particularly when the alternative is university work.

I have one and I use it so friends and family can keep in touch. Like my MySpace it's basically another email address.
I know what you guys mean. Took me a while to find this: [link]https://ssl.facebook.com/help/contact.php?show_form=delete_account[/link]googleit6 said:
Not sure if I am really going to permanently delete my account, but I have removed a great deal of information, including pictures of myself. I rather dislike how much of my information was accessible to others. Anonymity does have its advantages sometimes...
But a different question: where does social networking end, and forums begin? I mean, we have profiles here, we can be friends, so how is this different from facebook? Granted, the 'like' spam is replaced by good ol' regular forum spam, but still...
I like using Facebook to stay in touch with family and friends. I can do without all the invites to freakin' FarmVille and YoVille and all that other crap I really don't care about.
Actually, that last part of my statement makes me think of Xzibit... "Yo dawg, I heard you like social networking, so we put social networking in your social networking so you can chat while you chat."

I see what you mean, but I think that on this site, a profile is not the main reason you come here. You come here to speak with like-minded people about things that you enjoy/ want to discuss. A forum is all about discussion. Facebook is about... Well, I couldn't really tell you. All I ever used to do on there was lurk- and creep other people's accounts, even if I didn't know them that well. Facebook seems rather pointless. Everyone needs verification, and needs their post/picture/status "liked".thethingthatlurks said:
But of course, I'm biased, so... Make of my comment what you wish.
Facebook brings out the stalker/creeper in everyone. I can even say that without worry of sounding biased. It is completly true. And completly disturbing.
I had an account that I never logged on to, but recently I've started being more active on my page. It's a good way to keep in touch with friends- I treat it just like an internet forum, except that this time, the theme is real life, as opposed to, say, video games.
Yes I have a Facebook account and I enjoy using it. I hate the hostility people from this site display towards it because it is an extremely valuable thing to have in the modern age; especially if you have a large number of friends you wish to stay in contact with.
I use it... Don't really like it. But it is a good way to stay in touch with my friends, who I can't really see that often. Plus the IM is kinda useful, since people rarely go on MSN as well now. I miss myspace though. At least that allowed customisation, and was easier to use. But, as people have said, too many others use it, so now I have to. If I stopped now out of principle, I'd just be inconveniencing myself. And that would be foolish.
