Yes. Indeed! Because of this site, I was again reunited with my old buddies, connected to where I started building my own life, my dreams, my future. Facebook also helps me to manage my time, enjoy talking with friends, appreciate life.. everything. Boost also my knowledge, learn more about technology, and opens a wide variety of learning, experience, and possibilities. How about you, does Facebook hook your past to your today for a better tomorrow?? It really helps....

My experience with Facebook is very positive. I have being able to link up with families in another country that I probably would not. I am learning a lot as well. I can say it has enhance my life. I only use it three to four times a week because I find I spend to much time there. I would sign on for half an hour, and the half hour becomes two hours.

Hahaha... Hello Venshida. It's addictive, though it's really fun and satisfying how technology hook us up with people we encounter before and today. Same as my experience, I never left facebook until I read every post and view every photos everyone in my list posted. One thing for sure, It really makes our day, right? Good day!

I like using some social networking sites,especially the Facebook, to say in touch with the people whom I know personally. But I just follow some norms,just to maintain some ambiguity as other users of this sites may cause trouble,if I disclose all my facts. The sites that I regularly use are Facebook and Orkut and both of this are not paying.But its really a fun as I can share photos and other informations through messages and scraps with the acquaintances.It is very helpful in keeping contact with the people I rarely come across these days.

Thanks for sharing your view tuyakiki. Facebook is one good alternative in reaching people wherever they are, specially people that affects your life. With facebook, as you mentioned, you can now share your everyday activities with friends and family through pictures and messages. You can even leave notes for them that might inspire them trough wall to wall. Thanks for dropping a line.

Yes, I think all Facebookers are there for specific reasons. I have my own reasons too and it has nothing to do with earning because I do not get a single cent being there. My reason for being there regularly is that I am able to get in touch and be updated of my friends and relatives, some of them already working and living in other places. So it is a very amazing place to get connected with loved ones. In Mylot you are actually interacting with strangers, people you don't know but who of course can help us with their brilliant ideas. Plus the earning which is a bonus and which Facebook does not have.

Very well said cutie18f! One benefit I really enjoy with facebook is the connection they provide for us to interact again with people we never seen for a long time. The feeling of being remembered and being recognized is one great thing. We feel the sense of friendship, the power of a single line to boost someone's moral and the intimacy of every memory we gather through photos and messages. We don't talk pocket benefits in facebook, only the feeling of being appreciated. Thank you very much cutie and be happy forever.

I Almost Do Not Using FaceBook, but I Have an Account There, So, I Don't Think Its a Good Social Network, Because All Monthly Revenue It Takes and Don't Share With The Members...

I don't think Facebook helps with you're daily lives becuase it's just a social netowrking site where you get to meet new people. Plus i've registered on it but i don't understand it so i hardly ever log in.

Well that's your opinion redex1 regarding facebook. Allow me to share some of the good things facebook helped to improved my life. During time of depression, it really helps when I see the photos of my loved ones, also, some inspirational message to boost my moral. Another thing is when I need to talk to some colleague or friends abroad, facebook is always ready to help. Next, this is one good idea of relaxing while socializing with friends using game applications. In short, I don't talk here any monetary benefit but the welcoming of outside factors that you can use in deciding whether or not to do this or not. Thanks a lot I hope shared enough. Good day!

Hi nissin46! I enjoy being on Facebook. Most of my relatives and friends are on Facebook. Most of them I have not seen for a very long time. But Facebook keeps us connected. It's fun when we get to chat and comment on each other's status and photos. Just recently, I have found some of my friends from grade school. We have not seen each other for almost twenty years and it was through Facebook that we were reconnected.

Well facebook has help a lot of people discover new things and get reconnected with old friends. To some they also use facebook to promote their stuffs as well as informed others what they are doing. Basically, it is indeed a helpful site and it does help people depending on the purpose they want to. I do have a facebook account but I am not very active on it. I just check it from time to time and do get some benefit out of it.

Hello jpso138. Thank you for sharing your thoughts about Facebook. Definitely you're right. Facebook is one option we can use today to reconnect with people we've never seen or talk for a long time. Indeed, really helps us to make a profit out of it by promoting our products. The purpose of using it depend on the users' choice. Like I said to one of my responses, if you have free time, try to give a shot in browsing some of your friends' posts, you might find something that can make you smile. Have a nice day ahead!!!

Hi Java! Actually those game applications are optional. You don't need spend time playing with those. But for me, playing those applications, specially farmville helps me to manage my time and to relax as well. Though my primary intention in using this website is to look for long lost friends and to connect with my loved ones. Anyway, stay for what you believe is the main reason for using this site. As long as you're contented and happy, so be it. Happy Facebooking!

Hi. Like you, I was re-connected with my old buddies and long-lost relatives thru facebook. But I don't really check it on a daily basis. And I don't regularly read my friends shoutouts. What I usually check in facebook are personal messages sent to my facebook inbox.

I'll admit when I first joined facebook I saw a lot of names of people I used to go to school with.People I knew, and people I didn't know. I friend requested the ones I knew, but it's obvious they log on less then I do because the requests are still pending. And, while I've got a lot of friends on there, I'm not on it all that much.

Hello kaylachan. What did you feel the first time you saw again your old schoolmates and some of your new friends in facebook? Did you feel the excitement of saying hello and be reconnected again?? How about uploading your old pictures and make some comments or tagging it to them. Well, there's still a lot of things to do while waiting for them to accept your friend request. you can make new friends with people you think you can trust with, or open some applications, check your daily horoscope, play with the farm.. anything! Even promoting your business if you have one. Just maximize the benefits of facebook you think you can have. Anyway, Happy Facebooking!!

Good day to you ancaiman. Really? It doesn't help you somehow? Are you not happy to see old buddies, your loved ones and friends you never see for a long time?? Are you sure in China, people never log in this site?? I don't think so. I have a seen a lot of chinese people in facebook. They even top rank in one of the famous application here, The Restaurant City. Try to check it out. Piece of unsolicited advice, do not crave yourself to be happy because facebook is there to make you one. Blessed be..

Good morning glaiz_9! So you also feel that facebook is somehow a stress reliever?? Definitely! In my case, I use facebook to interact with someone, to release my frustrations even share my little victories, to give my opinions and ideas, to talk to my buddies from different places, to learn more from life and to talk to HIM. Applications like games, daily horoscope, message from God are applications really helps me to win with my daily struggles, it inspires me and keep my moral up.. thank glaiz and have a nice day ahead!

A lot of stuff like selling your own products does facebook help us. Like you reyah23, your clients is making business with you through facebook even got some referrals. The thing is, I don't have any idea that you can be banned from facebook by making business with it. Anyway, as long as you do the right thing and keeping your business legal, never had a problem I think. Make sense?? Thank you very much and have a good business deal ahead.

Facebook is really a great social networking website. Sometimes i use facebook to share my thoughts with my friends. Facebook is really for fun and to connect with your friends. But it is very bad news that you will get nothing for your contribution in facebook. Whatever, facebook helps me very much in my everyday life.

Nice to hear from you sathi_biswas. Well, I agree with you that we don't receive anything as payment for our contribution in facebook, but somehow, facebook also beneficial to us people that really cares to reconnect with our loved ones and old friends that we haven't talk or see for a long time. Also, as you mentioned, we can share our thoughts, even our feelings to our online friends and it helps a lot releasing our emotions and ideas as well. We can be an instrument to make someone, somehow, be happy on what we posted. Thanks a lot and be happy always.

Absolutely not !!Maybe you in your country really felt the benefit, but for I did not beneficial. Simply "say hello" it is an activity does not helpful, wasted time just to chat. Maybe me and you have different vision on how to used internet. Because I use internet for doing business. And after I follow Facebook for 3 months, then I realized that Facebook boring.

Yes! With facebook i have been able to interact with all of my friends. Whrn i say all it includes friends from childhood, elementary, High school and my present buddies. It's a great way to reconnect with them and the greatest thing about it is that it is free. What more can you ask for?

Ramplified_17! Yes! Your energy is so high! I can feel that! Hahaha!!! Happy for you buddy to hear that from childhood to your present friends you still have connections and you can hear from them no matter how far or time passes by.

Easy to use and it's free, I agree to that! Yes, what more can we ask for? I can see it really helps you a lot, same with me. Thanks a lot and continue connecting with your buddies!!

Definately, I don't think I'd be able to live without Facebook now! I go on it every day - I use it as the main point of contact with friends. I've found it brilliant to be able to keep in touch with old friends, people you have met on holiday and distant family members or those which live far away. It is nice to see what people are up to once in a while and to see people's photos.

One more thing, we can even post some ideas, opinions and old photos to reminisce our past. Thanks a lot in sharing your experience with facebook. Happy Facebooking!!

I still am a school student. As technology is advancing so is our thinking. Today, if for example I missed any of the important notes or anything else, I can ask my friend to scan it or take a photo of it and upload it on Facebook. More importantly, it can help me stay in touch with friends who are no longer there in my school. Another great advantage of Facebook is marketing.

Really jainy25?? I haven't tried that. That's amazing! At least, you can still cope up with your subjects/school projects using facebook. Of course, thanks for the support of your classmates in providing you your needs. And one thing, even you're a student your mind is up to marketing huh... That's an A+!!! Anyway, thank you very much for your share in my discussion and be good always! Study hard!
