I joined Facebook in 2007 from a friend's invitation in my email. at this time, my reason to join was simply because I wanted to try something new other than Friendster. more detailed story: I saw my friend put some of our pictures in Facebook and then she invited me through email so that she could tag me in our pictures. then I joined. I rarely used Facebook during 2007 since I barely had close friends in this site. I just checked it sometimes a month and was more active in Friendster. year 2008 marked the growing number of my close friends who joined Facebook and I also became more active Facebook user in the same year. I started to enjoy updating status, seeing friends' status and commenting them, tagging pictures, and using Facebook for communications which better be sent in text messages on cell phone. such as asking friend's current position to anticipate late coming to the movie on Saturday night. or just simply asked how they were doing recently. now I have become a very active user of Facebook. I can't live without it and I enjoy it.

I joined facebook about a year ago. I like facebook but I'm not an addict. It's a pretty cool way to communicate and to find all of those people from your old college/school.

I signed up a Facebook account a few years ago. Since Facebook is a famous and popular website, so I'd like to see what it is exactly. Therefore I registered an account there. It can be fun and you can also find your lost friends there. I love China

I joined the Facebook may be two years ago. It's just a good platform to organize your friends. We can also chat with them and play games. However, I don't like Facebook though.

I joined facebook a year ago to connect with my brother and father abroad. I'm not really an active user, nor do I love posting pictures, but it was nice for my former classmates popping every now and then for a friend request :)

I resisted getting an account on FB for the longest time. I heard of horror stories about the site getting people in trouble at work. Mid last year, I relented and opened up an account. I try to be careful on what I do in there, online. Nowadays, I just use it to re-connect with my classmates when I was a little kid.

I joined facebook like five years ago. I always have been using it to keep in touch with my friends and family. I never have been a fan of the games. But I have to say a couple months ago I hooked up with Sorority Life. Anyway, now I can't live without Facebook neither. Not because of the social part, since I noticed my friends had change so much with the time I get bored. But now that I write is a very good source to promote my articles. Also I find Facebook very useful because you can sign up and sign in very easily in other web pages from your FB account. The same with leave your comments. Facebook has has revolutionized the whole internet.

Well I was addicted to facebook and that was because I love the frogs on Happy Aquarium however I had a recent hospital stay and they tried to make me start back on day one where I missed several days and I got mad and deleted my whole FB account. However I missed some of my friends there so I reactivated it. =) I just don't bother with Happy Aquarium anymore.
