Why the hell Facebook?

[Evilbunny]

Well, there's also alot of unfunny crap; the group doesn't show that. Plus there's a significantly smaller chance of goatse coming up.

Ok, I'll give you that. 4chan minus goatse/tubgirl/BME pain olympics sounds pretty cool.

the escapist is way better than Facebook, Myspace and bebo put together due to the fact it's not as mainstream as those other's and it has yhatzee and all you wonderful gamers =)

Personally don't like and don't have Facebook or Twitter, I don't see the purpose in hearing what everyone I ever met is doing at this very moment nor do I really want to talk about what I am doing at each second. Then again, I sound like a crotchety old bastard complaining about it, so I'd take my own opinion with a grain of salt.

Some people look at facebook and ask "why?"

I look at facebook and ask "why not?"


also it's great for organizing things.

 

[shaboinkin]

I mean...you could use both
Talk to your friends in real life, then come here to talk about games with others who like games. The friends i have aren't really into gaming so much

 

[aakibar]

I personally do not believe it exists....so shut up

 

[Deef]

I don't have a phone, so facebook is the easiest way for me to communicate with people so we can plan stuff. Otherwise it's not really all that exciting.

 

[Drummerstixz]

Speaking of Facebook. What the hell happened to Myspace anyway?

 

[Slim-Shot]

I think it's good, but it's certainly not for everyone.

Yeah, probably more for people with friends.

I have observed, with a certain sense of humour, that the majority of gamers and other geeks/nerds are pretty elitist when it comes to social networking sites. I have a couple of theories to explain this.

- They just don't have many rl friends, or alternatively, just don't care about staying in contact with them.
- All their online friends can be kept in contact with via msn, xfire, steam, forums or ingame etc.
- They just consider themselves too good for them. Any idiot with an internet connection can use facebook, or twitter. I don't want to do that. I want to communicate with some uber-pro text based hacker software.

For me personally, I went to school for 5 years in one town, went on to study for three years in a city, lived overseas for a while, and am now in another city at university again. I have friends and family, quite literally, all over the country. (Albeit, its NZ, so its not that far.) I find facebook great for getting in contact and staying in contact with friends. I enjoy some of the games and aps. Facebook chat is fantastic. Facebook is a very useful tool, I hope it never dies.

Twitter on the other hand, I don't care for. I don't care what Myley Cyrus had for breakfast. No one does Myley, no one does.

Facebooks a great place to talk about...MY ASS! Seriously, i haven't had an actual conversation with anyone on facebook, maybe i'm just usin it wrong but it seems all anyone ever seems to do is post pictures of themselves, say "lol" and invite me to groups I have no Interest in joining.

then again, few people seem to share all of my interests, nobody seems to be into games other than halo & CoD. Not that they're BAD games, but I like to broaden my horizons! Nobodies taken up animation, and I haven't had an offline conversation about anime in over a year. oh, and nobody watches YTP.

Are you my clone?!?!

OT: well, you're just going to have to decide for yourself, and if you join or don't join based on other people's opinions, then you are not going to enjoy the experience.

I think it's (can I swear?) complete and utter BULL****. All these websites are the same, My Face, ASBO, nahhhh.

Absolutely. We're all grown-ups here, naughty words won't hurt us.

 

[Cakes]

I hate Facebook. I have boundaries, I don't want everyone I've ever met telling me what they had for dinner, where they went last night and what they're doing at that exact moment. A bit too much information.

You're thinking of Twitter, which is shit.

 

[iron codpiece]

Any way those are a few what are your thoughts? Opinions?

Duh. It's because most of us minorities have stayed away from it for some odd reason. So middle classed white folk have flocked to it in great numbers... or because the interface is really easy to use.

 

[Asciotes]

I'm on facebook (like most people) for the quizzes. Oh and Mafia wars

 

[Chicago Ted]

I have one but I don't really use it. I mean, it's there, people add me, but I don't really care for it.

 

[KeyMaster45]

you want my opinion on facebook and the rest of its ilk?

I give you exhibit A: http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/498203

To quoth the vid "Its like everyone's whispering to me 'Hey Gigantor, read my trivial ass-drippings.'"

Sadly my sociology professor made the class pick up twitter (blargh!) accounts to "keep up with him" when not in the classroom -_-*

 

[bluepilot]

Facebook banned me after a few days, but I never really cared for it.


I wanna know why the hell people use Twitter..I mean I get using it to see updates from famous people, but my friend constantly spams "I'm eating right now.", I don't even need to check it.

What did you do to get banned from facebook? I thought you coundn`t get banned.

I very much dislike facebook. It is a spammy program where people pretend to care. It is generic and boring. The world would be a happier pleace without it. We then might genuinely keep in touch. I think you are better off without facebook.
