I beleive there is a lot of different purposes for facebook. I know there is going to be alot of different opinions on this discussion, to me i use facebook to see waht my friends and family are doing. I do not add anyone that sends me a friend request that i do not know. I believe it is a unsafe world when online as many people only are after you for one reason. Facebook to me is used to see waht my friends and family areup to, and to talk to them, finding old friends is great and i have found some great friends i have missed and seeing what they are up to is great. What is your purpose on using facebook?

I have found so many old class mates, and friends and family to stay connected with, then I have my Farmville, Zoo World and Farm Town games I love and I love the heart applications and sending little pretty gifts. I sometimes share photos and send notes that are interesting. I love Facebook I am on Myspace too but it is not nearly as much fun or interesting as Facebook.

I usually use Facebook for sharing pictures, sending messages to friends and staying in touch with someone I haven't recently heard anything about. I've never played any games on there or used these nasty random message applications, because of which your profile wall gets full of nonsense. Some may find them funny, but I don't.

likewise. i use facebook to find old friends and get to know what have been goin on with their life. as for me im quite unfair because i dont post pictures or give information about myslef and activities i have been doing. im pretty choosey on who i accept and what i update on my profile. And the best part is , once i loose my prepaid mobile phone and get a new number i have an easy way to get back in touch with all of them .

Yea...I also use facebook to keep contact with my family and friends. And also to find my old friends whom I am not in touch with. But keeping aside this purpose of using facebook, I also play games which I personally find very interesting. I use many different applications which I find alluring. I don't really add strangers but yea, if any of them has a mutual friend, then I first check out his/her profile and if his/her facebook account isn't fake or I don't find that person dangerous, then I'll add that person. And till now, I added many such people but didn't face any difficulty, instead I came to know that they were my close friends or friends of friends or any far relative of mine.

I use facebook to see my old friends and classmates from highschool, because of facebook I know now what happened to their lives and so on. I use it also for chatting like paper works and assignment in school and for school updates.

I use Facebook to reconnect with old friends as well as keeping track of each other's life. Being far away from family, I also use Facebook to get in touch with my siblings and cousins and arrange family gatherings through event invitations. Sometimes, when I am bored, I play games like Mafia Wars, Poker, etc that are available on Facebook to kill time. But most important is, whatever you do with Facebook, don't get yourself addicted with the site! ;)

I use facebook to stay in contact with friends that I don't see often.
