Why the hell Facebook?

[AvsJoe]

I'm on Facebook for the applications, really. I'm currently addicted to Scrabble. I really don't like that site all that much anymore, though.

Sometimes it is good to have.

Sometimes it is fun to have.

But there is never any need to have it.

Do as you want.

Obviously this is your opinion (it annoys me that I have to say that) and I know this might seem rude of me, but Facebook is a social resource for the sociable. Saying "Why do I want to talk to any of my old High school classmates?" is a pretty damned unsociable thought in a sense, and assuming that they're just going to be stacking shelves and doing nothing (which could well be true, I don't know them but you never know) is just as bad. Besides your immediate friends, was there honestly no one else who you gave a second thought to once you left school, and might think "I wonder what they're up to now?"?

Not to mention it is a good place for discussion. This is a great place for discussion, but you can't discuss everything here. That's just my take on it, I feel it's a valuable social resource, as you get older and go through university and whatnot and meet more people who might not be in walking distance, it becomes more useful.

Facebook is good to stay connected to people across seas. Moving from one country to another, it's more personal with pictures and constant reminders that they are living and being cool other than emails.

I agree, it's not always easy to keep in touch with people, and it's better than an e-mail in my eyes. And personally I also use it for organising events and shooting schedules, so it's useful for that too.

Well, you seem like an anti-social prick so.. yeah it's probably not for you.

Then again, I'm pretty anti-social at times in most peoples regards.. but I still find it useful to make plans with someone, leave messages and get phone numbers\instant messenger names easily.

I have agorphobia, so I have an excuse

That true?

Like people have said, it's just good for talking to people who you are close to and it's better for talking to people who you're not so close to, but need every once in a while. It's no big deal having it or not, but people who go on about not having facebook like it makes them special usually come across as bad as the people who go on about it like they're addicted and it's the BESTEST THING EVAR.
