Is it just me, or are you bored with Facebook too? When I log-in, I just end up scanning the page and then stare blankly at it. The posts people have on are either useless (like horoscopes and youtube links) or they're pouring their life's drama which is kinda uncomfortable. And I swore I won't play again, because it takes over my life. lol. What do you do in facebook?

I joined facebook because of the need in completing my tasks at microworkers site. I accessed the facebook once a while, and until now I don't feel boring yet. It is quite interesting to access the facebook to view whatever posting there is by other friends. May be you should rest for a while and return to facebook. By doing so, you are refreshed. You will start having your interest again.

I love scanning my friends' profile for latest news and pictures and I love posting my comments on their status and pictures. I do not like playing any kind of game on Facebook.

oh well I just mostly login in to speak with my friends over personal messages or just to interact with some over comments. other than that I usually check posts by everyone and since most of my friends share the same interests as me I usually comment or like their posts and such other than that...well, I sometimes use those applications people send you and well there are some games too, tho I don't know why some people are so obsessed with farmville for example, I'm not really fascinated with any of these

Oh I'm so bored also. I get on there and do a quick scan down the page. There is so much drama on there. People arguing. I usually get on there to play Bejeweled Blitz. ButI bought the game at Wal-Mart and it gives you like a million points and connects with your facebook page to tally scores.Since I've done that. I check the page to see what people are saying maybe every other day or so. My daughter is on there also.And she doesn't get on it like she used to. She plays the game.Her and I love to beat each others score on the game. But we both put our status as offline,also.

I think that you could make FB what you want;it to be!.I reconnected wit a lot of my old highschool friends,and old team mates from my competitional days, I left my birth country 34 yrs ago,and lost contact.Through FB I reestablished contact,and it is fun.I also see what my daughters are up to!LOL.I only allow friends only on my page, and I only accept people that I know and like as FB friends.

Personally I do not do much in there either anymore it seems. For me if I am going to post and talk about things going on in my life, I feel I would rather share it here unless I am posting trying to build my Online/Offline Jerky business or something. I still do play a couple of games there and such, but personally the Newness it once had has run out pretty much for me as well.

Wow, some people really has no shame. Why does she need to stalk her ex, it's an ex for a reason. And announcing it to the world really makes everything just pathetic.

she not stalking him, it's for later on if needed. in issues over their daughter, and if consent orders are done. some announcements are worth making and others well there no need. i know a few of mine lately have just been a bits silly, but i was having a laugh.

I haven't been on facebook in ages. I do occasionally log in and check on some of the games I used to mess with, but for the most part I don't even go there at all. I keep hearing from my brother about all the bad things that people would write about and I don't need that. I guess I should just stay away from it.

At least someone notifies you on what's happening, so you don't need to keep checking. It's just bad though that what he shares with you is just bad news. hehe.

It's more like he calls me on the phone and tells me all the bad things people are saying when they respond to his posts.

hi patsie. i also feel uncomfortable with what people post on that site. most of the time, i get there to look up for some long lost friend, a schoolmate or a long lost relative. i play some times but later on, i found out that i just wasted my time there. there are times i go there to post a rant, just like what i did yesterday. but in fairness to that site, it also helped me reaching other people, when we were still looking for good samaritans for Zayzay's surgery.

Yes, I'm uncomfortable too. Some of them emotes as if their computer is their lover. lol! Maybe they forgot we're on the other side of the monitor. lol! Yeah, that's also why I still keep my account. I might need to contact someone I don't have a contact number to. It's a good thing you were able to find help online. That's cool. How's he doing by the way? Umm, who's Patsie?

I thought i am the only one. I got also fed up with fb, the only reason i am keeping it is because i get to see old friends who are far right? but then i am also quite bored with reading people's status, i cannot help but think that some are just showing off..lol or pouring their life's drama which is weird.. or their love stories or their rantings over their boyfriends..it's just showing off sometimes. hahaha but sharing pictures are fine..but there are also some who share their useless pics hahaha mga "posingera" hahahaha i also stopped playing cityville..i got bored with it too..i am more on mylot lately.

Yes, some are just showing off. Especially the pictorials they do at home or in school, or I don't know where else they take a LOT of pictures of themselves. lol. I've stopped playing too. I was hooked on Mall World a few weeks back.

Hi, I don't feel bore with facebook yet and I have to online to my facebook account everyday. I don't play any facebook games,but I just like to see any interesting news or contest to join which I can win some prizes. Recently alot of companies are having their facebook accounts and engaged some contests for public to join. I myself even won some prizes from facebook quiz/contests. I saw some of my friends are addicted to facebook games. For me, I am not a game lover and I won't never touch those games.

Ya i am bored also , i just log on only and read some people comments.Don actually play the games there because it own no money and waste time also.Just good for spying people in FB and also looking at people life pictures and such nothing much can do, however it is a hit with majority young people or other people who log on and share pix comments interesting news and such.It can be used as an effective marking too if done correctly since it has 500 million members.

Me too, I'm thinking about that 'day without facebook' thing when they created a website to quit facebook. I rather MyLot cause we spend time here and actually have something back. Facebook is all about them.

So true. I guess that's why we always come back to mylot. It's because we get something back. And I'm not talking about the money.

I think after a while there are lots of people that get bored of face book.I think that it all depends on why people go on there.I go on there to play games as well as chat to a few relations as well as friends.I go on face book most days, but i like other sites as well, so i never spend too much time on there.

You're right. If you stay too long in one place, you'll eventually get bored.

I'm also starting to get a little bored with facebook;honestly,I'm not very interested in finding out what my friends are doing every day of life,I just enter it once a day to see if there'as something interesting,and I don't want to waste my time playing those silly games,so I only use facebook when I really have something interesting to say or an intersting link to share.For me,facebook is a nice site,but certainly not indispensable.

True. I'm sure those who updates their status all the time don't care what we're up to.

Yup, that happens to me sometimes ... staring and just scanning the page. Sometimes we get bored with doing the same thing over and over again. I still go into facebook but not as often as I used to before. I like the friends there, so I will go in to check them out and see what they have been up to.

Hello, I am using facebook for about ten months. I started to join this website because all my friends were using it and they were always telling me that I must take a look at it and finally a accepted. They were uploading all our pictures there and I had to login to the site to see them. But at the beginning I liked the idea of comments on photos, have some chat with the friend that were online. But time has passed and I am getting a little bored. I am still opening the page when I arrive at the computer to see for some updates or news from people I might know, but I feel that something must change. I am also playing there a football manager game from FIFA. I like the basis of it and that is why everyday I check to see how am I doing at the matches and if any of my player is injured. Winning against my friends is fun and makes us spend some time together. This is my impression about facebook in this moment.

Yeah, it is fun to play games online with friends. But the problem starts when your friends no longer play. Playing the game won't be fun anymore. There won't be any "friendly competition".

As days pass by, Facebook is getting more and more boring.. I just log-in in my facebook to check some notifications and private messages from my friends and after that, I don't stay any longer. I stay more on twitter.

I've never been hooked on twitter. I guess it's because I don't follow anyone, and no one's following me. hehe.
