Facebook is so big and popular these days. I use it often to stay updated to certain things, and stay in contact with old friends who are more distant these days. Was wondering how often do most of you use facebook? Everyday, a few times a week, not often? What are the main reasons you use Facebook and to do what?

hi webguy, I use facebook when I want to see the updates of my friends. Chat with them while I am busy with my games... I would browse it once or twice day for an hour or two. Have a nice day.

HI there TheWebGuy! Yes i am almost everyday on Facebook. When doing some things over the internet I let it open as I do it also to find some friends way back from elementary, high school and college ... and I use it also to locate from relatives that I haven't seen quite a while. Right now, very important tool for me to find and locate some friends and relatives that I have lost contact for quite sometime.

Hey. I know it is great for doing this. It also helps how popular Facebook is because you can find nearly anyone because so many people use it by now. :)

Facebook is a part of our daily routine. I even set up an account for my online friends because some of them are only there for business purposes and alot of my friends aren't on facebook looking for ways to earn online. This may sound selfish, but I don't want to lose friends as referrals when it is at all possible.

I must also add that there is "business" and there is "pleasure". Some of my online friends are very nice and Facebook does supply an avenue to develope a more personal bond with my online friends while keeping the like minded individuals in a friendly atmosphere.

When I first started playing Mafia Wars, FB was not too crowded...now it seems like everybody is on FB.. everywhere I go people will ask, are you on FB? What's your FB name?? LOL.... what happens to privacy.. kidding. Actually, it's pretty alright to add friends, family members and whatnot on FB. And to play games and interact. Only sometimes, I feel the place is a bit too crowded especially with viruses looming and I stay away for awhile. But only to come back each time to catch up on my gaming. I would say I use FB mainly for playing games, and sending gifts. That's an awesome invention for sure..

I facebook a lot. from all the books I've encountered. FACEBOOK is definitely the most interesting. lol. I use it everyday. post updates & sometimes just to express what I feel. It's a great way to communicate with old friends especially those people you certainly haven't seen or heard of for years back when internet was still let's say "non-existing". Anyway, "FB-ing" now and then bores me. But somehow, I still find myself posting updates and reading them :)
