Poll: Do you use/like facebook?

[GameOverGoblin]

Yes and no. I have a facebook (my friend made it for me), but I rarely use it and I'm getting sick of it now.

 

[Ninonybox_v1legacy]

i use it as a time killer

All social networking is just a popularity contests.

I have one, but only to keep in touch with my friends, who would otherwise be separated by 3,000 miles of distance. I feel a little less homesick knowing everyone's still alive and living their lives and reminding me how awesome it'll be when I get to move home.

 

[duchaked]

yeah it's the standard compared to all the other social sites
at least for me and everyone I know, it's how we keep in touch

 

[KiLl_RoY]

Yes. I found it very usefull.

 

[DividedUnity]

Nope. Facebook and all those sites can be used against you.

I use it frequently. I'm part of a large, loose group of friends that hang out at my college. It's large and loose enough that no one person in the group has the contact info for everyone else, but it's enough of a clique that if you mention "the group" to anyone in it, they'll immediately know who and what you're talking about. We're talking 30+ people here, every one a nerd. We use facebook to keep in touch and coordinate everything from parties to weekly D&D games.

In our case, Facebook isn't so much a seperate world as it is an extension of face to face contact. I don't like the way it handles privacy concerns, but if the site goes too far, the owners will eventually get sued over it, so it's not too big of a deal. I even like the fan pages; you have to be careful which ones you join, but they can be pretty entertaining, much like a forum or a blog.

I, uh, use it but don't like it. Seems your poll doesn't account for people who don't make sense?

Meh, I use it as read-only; lets me know what people are doing.

 

[xHipaboo420x]

Yeah, I use Facebook. It gets pretty essential when you move away from your hometown, but I couldn't see myself using it if I saw my friends on a regular basis.

I must say that I'm not particularly fond of it anymore; I migrated over from myspace after it got all ... well, myspace-y. Now it seems Facebook is following suit, with thousands of retarded 'Fan Pages' and groups.

Fake name.
Fake name email.
Locked down.
No Friends.
No Games.
No Posts.

Merely a way to snoop around on people.
Snooping is in the Facebook Charter.

You know its people like you that make it creepy, right?

 

[JokerCrowe]

I use it, but I don't really like it. I don't really post anything myself, I just keep in touch with people who I like, but can't meet becasue of school/geography. Or I just see what other people are up to. and check the ads to see if there's any cultural event near where I live. (like theater)

[Klarinette]

I don't like it, but I understand and accept my addiction to it. It's like resigning to your heroin addiction as part of your every-day-life

 

[Wayte]

I like using it to keep in touch with people, but I don't really mess with it beyond that.

 

[PureChaos]

i'm on it but i don't go on the site very much

 

[Willis_D]

I use it a fair bit. Handy to use seeing as I can chat to friends using a keyboard, seeing as I hate texting and it's free.
