myLot reputation of 96/100. apples99 (2765)   ranked 130 out of 2,241 in facebook.com4 months ago

I joined face book mainly for fun, and to maybe make some new chat buddy's, and also do a little networking, not to be found by old friends or acquaintances. and I think that face book should make there site more about socializing and fun instead of focusing so much on people finding one another, because not everyone is looking for old classmates or friends, I just think the site should be more flexible in its over all site objective thats just my opinion. anyway what was general reason for joining face book?happy

happyHi apples
I signed up on face book for different reasons. The first was that my cousin-inlaw was talking about farming and I thought that be nice. So I joined to start a farm. It is fun and of course addictive. I then decided to promote a site that I was working on. It helped some but not that much. Well not what I thought it would do. I still go on there and farm and do some chatting with some friends that I made. Good discussion and have a great eevening...Keep smiling... happy

As I said I signed up to have fun and maybe make some new friends and to network I'm not trying to be found by anyone. but apparently a lot of people are looking for old school chums or long lost family members, so I guess everyone has there own reasons for joining the site.

Thanks for responding and have a great evening also. happy

You are welcome. No I don't need to find anyone on there either. I just like doing the games and lets not forget the farming too..

At first I joined facebook because my online buddy asked me to play some games with him. That time my old school and college friends haven't even signed up yet, so I only had 3 friends there, 2 e-buddies, and the other is my husband lol. Now my friends are on the list, and I use facebook to keep in touch with them.


myLot reputation of 96/100. apples99 (2765)   ranked 130 out of 2,241 in facebook.com  4 months ago

Sounds a lot similar to the reasons other members joined I seem to be the acceptation to the usual reasons though there are a few that joined for other reasons like me. well thanks for your responds. thumbup

I am miles away from home and Facebook is a great help to get connected with my family and my friends. I can see what they are doing, what keeps them busy, and see them through pictures. The site is really a great help especially when I miss them.

You could also do "socializing and fun" while being connected with your family and friends. Facebook is flexible enough, in my opinion. And not everybody wants to open their account to somebody they don't know. It's kind of scary especially with every possible methods to scam or victimize people using the Internet.


myLot reputation of 96/100. apples99 (2765)   ranked 130 out of 2,241 in facebook.com  4 months ago

I see what you mean it is nice to be able to keep in touch with family in friends for those who need other methods to keep in touch with there family, but as for me I have no real need to keep in touch with my family because my family lives close by and can just visit me or call, and as for class chums not so much in for that reason ether.

So I feel like the site should have more then one focus because not everyone is looking to be found by someone for example it should not be a requirement to sign up using your real name and have it displayed for anyone to see, because I feel its much safer to have a user name instead. even if you add a user they still display it with your real name unless I'm missing something. happy

I joined Facebook because a few friends were asking me to . . . I didn't want to for the longest time .. . but now that I'm there, I'm so addicted to it!

So first I did it to connect with the friends I already had as it became easier to communicate with them on Facebook. Then it got interesting as old friends found me . . . and then I found other people from the past as well. I like using Facebook as a search tool . . . it's been neat to reconnect with people/friends I've met in life and to see where they are now with their lives. It doesn't mean that we have to be buddy-buddies again - it's just nice to say hello. And the more people you know, the better the network you can have!

I think Facebook is already flexible - it's what you make of it. What you focus on there is your choice. I like to socialize and have fun with people I know or have known in real life. My choice is to not meet new people there - for my safety and privacy. That's just me.


myLot reputation of 96/100. apples99 (2765)   ranked 130 out of 2,241 in facebook.com  4 months ago

Well in my opinion the fact that when you sign up they display your real name unless you put a nick name or something it cant be too safe, in fact none of these social network sites are completely safe even if your not there to make new friends unless we are really careful, thats why when first signed up I immediately deleted my account because I didnt feel completely safe with the sites layout and over all policy was on the site, but I have decided to give the site another try so I reactivated my account. happy

well, for me, it's quite a funny story. .
I first made facebook because my brother own one, and I don't, I'm quite jealous, so I made one and then stuck, don't know what to do, LoL
well, after about more than half a year, my friends were talking about it, I feel "waw, I'm water-backed." so now my motive, rather than being jealous of my brother, I'm searching for my friends and to communicate of course, especially the chat can saves up sms or telephone money for my girlfriend, LoL

I have only been a facebook member for the past few months. I originally joined the site to see if i could get reacquainted with some old friends from high school. I have found a few of them and we keep in touch. I have also made some new friends. it has been rewarding.


myLot reputation of 96/100. apples99 (2765)   ranked 130 out of 2,241 in facebook.com  4 months ago

I've only been a member for a month or so as I said I joined mainly for fun not really to get reacquainted with anyone, but I understand thats the reason that alot of people join to get reacquainted or to stay in touch. well thanks for responding. happythumbup
