I know how popular facebook is even it's the first thing some guys do when they get online to visit their facebook page. Because of a lack of time or don't have that many friends on facebook or some reasons, what ever. I haven't have my facebook account until yesterday. So you think I'm out of date? Well, my kind friends. Tell me some interesting things using facebook and how facebook will make my life more colorful. Thank you

I got one a few months ago but not for the usual reason. I didn't go hunting for friends and I don't make entries on my wall, whatever that is. I got one just to take advantage of various company offerings and contests. I have entered several contests but haven't won anything. But by being there and keeping up with a certain limited time offer where you had to like something a certain number of times in a certain length of time, I did get a $10 coupon for something I use regularly. Actually with all the company things that appear, I have to wonder what the friends I might get would think of it.

Usually you have to register on the sites of some brand name products, then sometimes they will have facebook things right there on the site. Usually they will email about some promotion that you have to like them on facebook in order to participate. Sometimes it is a contest, sometimes it is a coupon offer. The one that I got the $10 coupon for was for Nature Made vitamins which probably would not have worked for you; it is over now but you had to like them a certain number of times in a 30 day period then they mailed the coupon so outside of the U.S. probably would not have happened.

Sounds amazing!!! You opened a brand new door for me, dude. Tell me more, please. How to get these offers?
• China

Thank you for the detailed example. It's a pity I do not live in the U.S. But I think there are many similar offers for the worldwide residents, isn't it?

Not doing Facebook does not mean you are already out dated, Some of my friends doesn't do Facebook, their reason is PRIVACY, and I have this friend who has Facebook and he is indeed has a lot of friends on his list, though 80% of them he doesn't really know, So does having many friends on the list that you don't exactly knew has a difference with not having a Facebook page? so Cheer Up, Facebook is not Closing its Door, So ride on, Create account now, and be proud of your Photos.

There are lots of things that facebook can do to us. I came across my long lost friends and relatives thru facebook. Whenever we have some events to do we can post it on facebook so we can save much time to inform some of our guests. There are games if you like to play. It's really an enjoyable site. Though there are some advantages there are also some disadvantage. Maybe you have seen on tv that there are those who were killed due to their trust on their in facebook. But we just have to be very careful also in using any social network.

After reading my response here, I discovered that there is a need to add. As seen on tv there were young people who were killed due to their trust on their friends on fb ... not trust on fb. I stand corrected by my own self, I trust facebook but what we have to be careful are those fb members who take advantage of the trust of other fb friends.

Why? Why people were killed due to their trust on fb? There are some bad persons on it to hurt some one? Hmm, I should be careful. Thanks for you advice.

Unless you like to play games, Facebook isn't really fun without the friends :D. So I may recommend you to add more friends that you know well now and in the past. It actually feels great if we are being able to connect with our old friends

I don't know about another people, but not for me I don't really accept strangers as my friend on Facebook.. Like I said before, you better add someone that you are already know, either nowadays or in the past..

Playing games? No, I don't think I'll play games on fb. Just make more friends. And do you think people on fb will be happy to accept a stranger as their friend?

Hi there and welcome to myLot Don't worry about a thing. I'm one of the few people online that does not have a facebook account. It doesn't bother me one bit. I may open a business account one of these days but I'm in no hurry. Enjoy your membership here and on facebook as well.

If I ever do open an account on facebook, it will be to drive business and not to socialize.
• China
21 May 12
Yes I regard my membership on facebook just as mylot here. And what's the difference of a business account?

I am new like you there on Facebook. I have had an account for a long time but I never used it. Then less than a month ago I decided to start doing something with it, just to see exactly what it is all about and... I am disappointed with it. I think I shall not be there much and will end up deleting my account eventually. It is a time waster and I have enough of those without adding more to my list

You may state your feelings for the day if you feel like sharing it in your status or post religious, funny or interesting quotations you think worth posting. You may post pictures and events. You can try commenting at your friends posts. So many things you can do as you go a long, you can add and meet old and new friends.You can can greet your friends on their special occasions and you can do events invitations.
• China
20 May 12

Welcome to Mylot and Welcome to Facebook as well Don't worry too much about being new to facebook, there are even some people who doesn't have their accounts yet there. Just be cool and do your stuff there. With the timeline, you can add pictures and status and add a date to it so it will look like you had many times already in facebook. Although, I am not sure if you could edit when you became a member there. But, just have fun there like your having fun on mylot.
• China

Thank you, I'm afraid I'll be too lazy to edit pictures or status, etc. But whatever, contacting friends is cool!

Don't worry about it. Some of my friends doesn't have facebook, when I asked them why, they tell me that they won't get bothered by it, they don't need it, and other reason. But I think, I need it. My friends like to pass any materials related to the lessons we have, newest news about their live, some of my friends even invite me to her wedding with facebook.
• China
19 May 12
Yes, I also thought that I don't need it. But as I saw more and more friends have their fb, I felt that it's time to have one. What you said about what you do on fb is amazing, I'll try asap!

Facebook is not new to anyone any more because it is the famous social networking site. Facebook is a fun site to share what you do and have contacts with your new and old long lost friends. Haha. Because of many improvements now made to facebook you would really like it as many used to. Facebook is a good way to relax also and know about things.
• China
19 May 12
Yeah, I know it's familiar to everyone, just not so used to it. I like making friends and would like to be as free as on mylot. lol:

Not your fault if you're a late bloomer that almost everybody is on facebook already. :) One word "friends", this site will help you find your friends, long lost relatives, long lost friends or even your favorite celebrity. And enhance your knowledge throughout. And almost every site is linked to facebook already so easier for you to get all the trending news happening today. :)
• China
20 May 12
Yes I have seen too many "Like it" on various sites. Maybe fb will be my first choice to know the first hand news

Well, don't be shy..not everyone has facebok anyway. The number of friends you have in facebok doesn't always mean the number of people who care about you in real life.
