    Default Its probably been asked but what is so special about facebook?

    A friend was showing me her facebook and I don't see what is so interesting about it.. Its a white page with pictures and a updater.. Its just twitter with pictures.. I might be missing something so I have to ask.. What is so special about it? She wants me to have one but after she let me play with hers.. I get sick of it in seconds..

    I don't do a lot of the things on Facebook except Family Feud. Farmville and Mafia Wars don't interest me. However, I mainly use it to keep in touch or to find people (or have people find me). My last guy (longtime friend) I found on Facebook, the one I always talk about. I had been searching for him for 10 years so I was happy to find him, but unfortunately as of now it's not a happy ending and I regret finding him.

    This just add another mark to I don't need one.. I have no one in a past I want to find me and I have no one I'm looking for.. And I didn't know about the games but I'm too busy and I rather have a book than play on the computer to relax.


    I'm sorry if didn't work out the way you wanted.

    I have found lots of long lost friends on Facebook, it is a good way for me to keep in touch with my family because I'm so far overseas, it gets so expensive to call them so I know what is going on through Facebook, I play games with my nephew too. It takes place of a lot of what you used to use a phone for, example, if I'm bored instead of texting 20 friends, I get on Facebook instead and post an update asking if anything is going on, usually someone is having a get together or something. Same thing with event planning, just post on Facebook some party or whatever and get everyone to come that way. I'm a bartender and we have a fan page, if we are running specials or planning an event it gets people in. And just to see what everyone is doing lol.

    I have facebook... but it's more or less just a placeholder page. People that I have lost touch with over the years... it happened for a reason.

    I hated facebook at first too. NOw I love it. If you keep your friends list down to only the people you give a shit about, its fun to log in and see what all your friends are up to. One log in a day keeps you in touch with everyone. Its so much easier than calling someone to catch up.

    ^^^lol!

    Honestly, if I lived in the same town all my life, I probably wouldn't use it so much. I use it because I travel so much - its nice to be able to keep track of people that I've met, or that I may meet up with again...its much easier than e-mail because you are not actually maintaining a constant conversation with hundreds of people!

    I also love being able to look at friends photos of events that we have been to together, or that they have taken of us - before fb I used to have to ask them to e-mail me photos individually, and it was just a hassle.

    The last thing that I use fb for is for events - for a while I ran a bar/restaurant review group, and it was really useful to be able to invite 20-30 people to an event (along with full details) and get RSVPs without having to contact them all directly. Its also useful to be invited to events - local art shows or concerts, casting calls and various other things..

    I never use any of the games (in fact, they confuse me), and I don't really have the time to creep, but it does help me save time in a couple aspects of my life.
    I take cash, debit or credit. I just don't take shit.

    Speaking of Facebook, I got perhaps the tackiest wedding invitation courtesy of Facebook. Basically, two former classmates rediscovered each other at our 15th reunion and got married. Ok, that's nice, except they sent out a mass invitation to everyone on Facebook. Did I mention that you have to give a $50 "wedding gift". While I would give money, it almost seemed like a money grab. Oh and there's no food and the drinks are cash bar. I didn't mention either that I haven't seen them since high school and even then we really weren't friends.

    Thanks, I look at it this way, it could eventually work out, just not now. I will admit though that sometimes I fear the wrong person finds me. Hasn't happened yet though.

    Facebook>Twitter because of the longer (but still restricted) character limit.
    Makes it easier for people to get you INTERESTED in what's going on with them without you having to read a whole fucking blog.

    Also... easier for multiple people to reply/discuss.

    I agree with you! I had facebook back in HS, but everyone added everyone.. Too many people got into your personal life, everyone found what you did, what you were doing. Ugh. lately its been used like a dating site for random guys too! I dont see the point in FB at all, as I dont have one. If people want to contact me, they have my phone.

    I like it bc I can see what my family from PR is up to. I have a big family, so it's nice to see pictures & videos. We all chat, make jokes, & bullshit. I'm really close with them, we're tight like that.

    I had twitter for work purposes. It gave my pc a virus. I may put up my twitter profile again. Maybe.

    I hate when random guys will contact me. For some unexplained reason one of my groups was "single women in Chicago" and I got hundreds of guys wanting to be my friend. I removed that group (I suspect I probably tried to add something else) but even so many friends of friends of friends, etc always ask for me to add them and many are guys. I am not using Facebook to date people.

    ^^ I once had to lay down the law for a guy in my FB network who was cherry picking and trying to "friend" every attractive woman he saw in my list (several of the ladies alerted me, otherwise I wouldn't have known). "Dude, next time you try this stunt, I'm completing your 'status' information and letting people know you're a married dad of two." He stopped this shit--with me, at least--after that note.

    I see it will end up a dead end like myspace dating and some new site will come up and be annoying.

    Good for you. It really bothers me when guys do this, especially when it's married men. This is the bad thing about the internet (and online dating). I had a hard time doing online actually finding a man who wasn't married because the online sites are filled with them.

    This is exactly why I only accept friend requests of people I know. If I dont know them, I usually shoot them a message asking if I know them...I usually get something like "No, I just thought you were sexy/cute/pretty"
