Poll: Do you use/like facebook?

[Kortney]

It just makes the world lazier. I hate the fact that now it doesn't even take effort and you are on display for everyone. Your relationship is deliberately updated so all of your friends know, photos are deliberately uploaded so all of your friends see..

It just seems attention seeking and impersonal. Years ago only my close friends and the people I chose to would know about my on doings, these days everyone knows.

And that's why I don't use it. And the fact I'm not allowed to, but that's another story all together.

I use it. I hate the chat program and I really hate their ads. No, I don't want to hook up with singles. No, I don't want a quick date. No, I don't want to... meet up with local cougars?

 

[Assassin Xaero]

Pretty simple question here, Tons of my friends use it but I just don't use it.

Sorry, but I cannot vote in your poll.
Use it? Yes.
Like it? No.

It wasn't bad before, but over the past year or two it has gone to hell. Every time they update it, they get rid of useful stuff, break it, or delete half your profile and expect you to replace all your info with "fan pages".

Good lord, the ads. I'm straight, but I have a few gay friends, and I've also joined a couple of gay rights groups, such as "Repeal Don't Ask Don't Tell". This is out of almost 70 friends and close to 300 groups and fan pages. For some reason, Facebook has picked up on this statistically insignificant figure, and decided to send me targeted ads aimed at gay men. WTH?

 

[Shifty Tortoise]

Damn, i can't use your answers

I use it, but only because I don't really have a choice, I'd be much happier if the damn thing didn't exist and people phoned me like in the good ol' days. Hell, i'd settle for an e-mail.

The ads are necessary evil. The owners have to make money so it's personalized advertising for you! Only once has an ad ever peaked my interest (it was for lab equipment :-/ ) and that was because it was totally unexpected, so it doesn't seem to be that effective.

I'm hating the current ads asking me if I want to find my ideal lesbian match...target advertising fail.

Anyways, I like facebook. It's a cheap, easy way to keep in contact with people who live far away and for arranging study times with people.

All social networking is just a popularity contests.

It's only a contest if you enter the competition. Just only add people you know. ^_^

Edit:

though facebook is annoying. you have to "like" everything. just gay.

I'm gonna go with the gay = Freddie Mercury = Awesome line of thinking there because no intelligent, articulate and well rounded escapist would ever insinuate homosexuality is stupid/bad....

 

[Zenn3k]

Its a great way to keep in touch with people that you might not normally talk to, or be able to talk to any other way.

I've reconnected with friends from grade school in another state with it.

Don't see why there is any reason to hate on it.

 

[SaunaKalja]

Not using it. I've never really even considered creating an account on facebook, twitter or anything similar.

 

[RAMBO22]

I hate Facebook because I feel it is a very necessary concept. If you want to do something, say something, etc, with friends then do those things in real life or on an already long-existant social network, the world of cellular phones, rather than start virtual groups that (predominantly) do only virtual things and virtual friends most of which you don't interact with physically.

Need more options on this poll. I use facebook, but I don't like it. Almsot everyone I know on there is a wanker, never replies to my comments to them, and live 500 miles away from me which means I personally could not care less about them anymore.

So it goes, I guess.

Why aren't you able to care about people why live so far away? Is it just the distance, or is it a combination of factors that leads to this?

Various combinations, but its all stuff I am not interested in posting here, or anywhere else for that matter.

 

[TheYellowCellPhone]

I have one and I can count the number of times I've been on it with one hand, the number of times I found it useful with no hands.

So you can guess what I think of it.

Fair enough. Just wondering because I don't really consider distance to be a factor, as I do care about people who live far away from me.

 

[Sartan0]

I will never use facebook. It is a means of collecting personal information for sale and the 'friends' you get in return are not worth it. Go meet people in real life. At least Google gives you useful things in return for your information.

 

[daftalchemist]

At first I hated those Myspace/Facebook types of sites. I had a profile on each but never touched them unless they sent me an email annoying me about someone sending me a message. But after I moved 3000 miles away from my family, I found I really do like Facebook. It's perfect for keeping in touch with my mom and sister, as well as my best friend who moved to away to Holland and a high school friend of mine who is stationed in Guam.

It's not the only factor if that's what you're asking.

 

[CincoDeMayo]

Most seem to hate it, can't figure out why. Sure, it's not the best site ever but it's easy to keep track of friends and events, so yeah, I use/like it.

Ok, thanks. That is what I was wondering.
