What do you think about Facebook?  |
|
 I have an account with Facebook, but I rarely go there. It doesn't seem to be a place that is user friendly like MySpace. They have all those applications you can use, and you get bombarded by other users to do quiz's, play games, see if you match them,etc. And, it is boring! I have people who are my friends there, but I often wonder what they do there. It is supposed to be a community where you 'connect' with others, but all I see is a 'playground'. It is nothing like MySpace where you can easily send messages privately, or write on their board for all to see. There seems that there is nothing easy there. I never was really attracted to it but joined simply because of a friend. I am thinking seriously about canceling my account.
Just this morning, I was reading an article about Facebook. The title was "Facebook Takes The Fast Lane to Boring". I couldn't agree more! You can read the article on Tech Crunch. http://www.washingtonpost...
Are you on Facebook? If so, what are your impressions of it and do you go there often?

1.  cobrateacher (1588) | 3 months ago |  You've brought up something I haven't thought of. A friend asked me to join Facebook, so I did. When your post came up, I realized I've never been to that site! Your post also makes me far less than anxious to go there!

2.  Wyldrose (451) | 3 months ago |  I have Facebook but I rarely go there. The last time I went there, I had tons of invites to some stupid stuff that doesn't interest me whatsoever. I agree with you, it's more of a playground. Nothing is private. You can read other people's messages and they can read yours plus they know who all of your friends are and you can look at theirs. Ugh..it's just a pain to me. I'm thinking about cancelling my account too.

| Barb42 (1462) | 3 months ago | I hate the way Facebook has all those applications for people to send you these useless things. If I wanted to play, I'd find a game on the Internet or computer to play. I don't have time for the childish things they do there. If someone sends you an application, they want you to respond. I had the account for a long time and never used it. Then, a prayer partner from the UK moved his prayer list to there, and that's the only reason I started being active. Now, I wish I had never gone active. They drive you nuts!! I do have lots of friends there that I've made over the years through my web site or my blog. | |

3.  Swede_59 (152) | 3 months ago |  Don´t know what I shall say about facebook.
In my opinion,both facebook and myspace are boring sites.
OK,myspace is a little bit better.
I have had an account on both sites.
I tried to be active and sent some mails.
I don´t got many replies.
And many of the replies was quite strange.

| 4. slyvixen42 (708) | 3 months ago |  I'm on facebook but I don't log in very often. It just seems a bit too invovled to me. There are too many options. I just want to see what my friends are doing these days not send them a drink or give them a bumper sticker.

| Barb42 (1462) | 3 months ago | Exactly how I feel, slyvixen! I see you have them figured out, too. I can't even really figure out how to get around in there. It is a hard interface to follow.If they took the 'gadgets' away, they would be absolutely nothing. | |

| 6. katsmeow1213 (1763) | 3 months ago |  I've been on Facebook about a week now, and I think it's a bit fun. I enjoy the games and applications. I use Myspace for staying connected to my friends, and Facebook as just a way of having some fun.

| 7. marylynn (86) | 3 months ago |  I have a facebook account too and have not logged in for awhile. I was told that it was a good marketing tool if you are trying to get referrals, if you network alot. I just never saw where it made a difference.

8.  sparkofinsanity (1920) | 3 months ago |  My youngest belongs and had me sign up. At first I was interested, but time and mylot kept me from going back and my profile and such never got fleshed out. Awhile ago, certain things began happening, and I realized that NOTHING put on facebook is secure or private. It is accessible from net searches and I tried to have my account closed to protect myself as I have had problems in the past with private info falling into the wrong hands. They promised they would close my page, but they never did. So now I stay as far away from them as possible. I had to go back and 'redo' my profile with false info too!

I like it a lot, just because I connect with others such as school friends and friends I haven´t seen in a while.Anyway, I guess tere are people that use facebook ust to play and add some applications, but I like it just to connect with people I miss.
