There are many reasons I joined Facebook. But the main reason, the one and only reason at the time of joining was to keep in touch with friends and family.

the main reason i am on facebook is because it's how i conect with my family and friends. I have such a great time laughing and sharing with them. Facebook is also a great site to network on. You can meet great people who are looking to do other things you might be interested in! what a great site and wow do they make a ton of money

I held out for years before joining facebook. I had a myspace account and here..which I also talked to friends..but thought why do I need another account to talk or play games..well I was almost the last to join in my family..and among some friends..and once I did I am glad...because it is so much better then myspace..and faster..and I loved the games..and talking to friends and family.. and now it is my favorite place to be..

Well, after quitting alot of the games..I had to for my sanity..5 farms was to much..lol..and that plus about 6-7 other ones.right now I only do one..otherwise I wouldn't be able to spend time on here..I went from having 400 friends(added mostly because of the games) to only 25 people..so I don't have alot of people on my list..and only kept the ones that were family and those friends that talked to me..about more then just the games.

At first I hardly ever went on Facebook. Then I realized that alot of my friends from Mylot were on there so I ventured on. I go everyday now. I enjoy the deversity of things to do. I can on there in the late evening when I am trying to wind down and play a favorite game, chat with whoever is on, do some of the applications, etc. Always something to do.

#1 - because my friends and family are there. #2 - the games #3 - the online storage space (for pictures) #4 - it's a self-expression for me.

I joined Facebook because one of my friends told me to accept his invitation because he need more friends so he can purchase upgrade in one of the Facebook games. I got curious on this game coz some of my friends have been addicted to it so I tried it also. Well, I was also hooked on it for a while but got over it after some time.

I like face book for a lot of the same reasons that others like it. Many of my personal friends are on there, so its a good way for me to keep up with them. Its great to see some of my friends that I have not seen or heard from in ages. Some not since Elementary. I have found my cousins in other states. Its great. And I like the games. Also networking is another high point to facebook.

I am on Facebook because I have a lot of friends that I know that are on there. A few years ago they talked a lot about it and I thought I would give it a try. I couldn't see the point at first, but then I realized taht I could talk about discussions I have here on myLot and leave my referral link on there and get a few referrals. There are lots of different advantages to being on Facebook, some are yet to be discovered. But it is very useful for promoting anything.. _Derek

I am there because some of my friends are there and they invited me.Ever since, I am adding friends and others are adding me as friend. The other day, a friend of mine posted excellent photos of a weekend at Kerala,India. Apart from that I found people chatting over.But I did not find any thing special about it. Already such options existed in other social sites.What is so special about FB?

The most special thing about FB is that it has the maximum number of members compared to all other social networking sites and thus, it is the most popular site also around the globe. Thanks for responding

No real reason! (LOL) I joined Facebook because both my sister and a friend of mine sent me invitations. I don’t log in very often although through the site I have located a couple of cousins I haven’t seen for over twenty years and some old friends including a guy I was in sixth grade with and have not seen since then! My sister in law had a baby recently and, because we live a long way away we managed to see the baby through her Facebook photos. It has been good for that but I am not all that active or have that many friends there, I rather be here!

Hi Excellence 7 ! I prefer orkut to facebook.But I work for an online comapny and all my colleagues whom I have nevr seen are on face book.So, its a place where I get to know more about my virtual colleagues. By the way have you heard of a joke?A woman opens a facebook account on her husbands insistance and he adds her as his friends so that she would know him better if she spends long time there!!!

Facebook has become very popular these days. I am there because I also want to be a part of it. I have friends and I use it also to share thoughts and many more things together. There are mnay nice games which you can play. Facebook is a social networking website and you can add friends and send them messages. Using facebook, it connects people with friends and others who work, study and live around them.

I like facebook coz it has lots of features like exciting games, quizzes etc. The best part is u can create yr own community. I have also created mine and there I found many unknown people who joined my community. Also it gives u a great pleasure when u have a lot of members in yr community. You can share yr interests as well as make friends here.

hello excellence7, I joined facebook since most of my friends are there. They usually upload some pictures that I'm included and I don't want to miss it. Aside from that, I use facebook to find my old friends as well as to communicate with them, There are also games and other features on facebook such as quizzes, group pages, etc. ^^

The main reason that I am on facebook is that it is a great way to stay connected to the people that I love that don't live near us any more. However, a few of the other reasons that I am on facebook are: 1. I can share pictures with my friends and family. 2. I really like playing the games to kill time. 3. I am able to learn about things in our community through facebook.

I am on facebook because many of my friends are there and I get to know about them at the same place without writing them separately. Its good way to know about all your friends at one place and facebook seems good. Sometimes I go to Firmville to grow some vegetables :)

The only reason why I first made a facebook account in the past was because of the apps. I heard they were fun! It was only later on that I appreciated it for friend finding and easier connection with friends. I never was into these social network sites but facebook is really user friendly and interesting at the same time!
