What do you usually do on Facebook?

Philippines
December 5, 2011 3:33am CST
I am working as an online article writer and I am almost online 24/7. It's not really a surprise for me to receive messages from my friends asking me why I am still up when in fact, I am already asleep. The things is that whenever I am online, I also log on to Facebook which is why the previous statement applies. I just post a photo or two, as well as a status message all throughout the day when I am bored. What about you? What keeps you logged on Facebook?

Facebook is not really important to me when family friends are concerned beacuse we can also chat through yahoo.I only use facebook to build traffic to my blogs and to earn some at fanslave..if not with these i think i can go on without facebook.

Lately, I avoid facebook because in first it was fun caching up with friends, read some interesting posts, shear my own thoughts with other and getting the tips from people who share same interests with me. After a wile I find it that facebook is annoying place and people are corrupted so I turned myself to forums and blogs I for now they are more interesting then facebook. Still I go there from time to time to see what my really close friends doing, but I stay there just a couple of minutes. I'm new on mylot and I find it more interesting then facebook.

I have an account on Face book but i do not use it regularly, mostly people use it to make friends and to spread their business. but i donot have much time to use this site only to make friends. so i rarely visit here.

Mostly, I look for birthdays. Lots of people wished me happy birthday on my born day, so I try to return the favor. I also go through and "like" comments and things. I don't have time for Farmville and other games people throw at me. I also poke people back when they poke me. When I get a story or poem accepted by a publication, I announce it on Facebook. And sometimes I put things on the page such as a film I took of the little wild kitty that I now feed. That's all I do.

i usually go to facebook, to take a look at my daughter's status updates. That way, i am informed of what her activities are, get to see the photos she post and what are her current activities. She's in a far city studying, that's why. Other than that i get to see also the new pictures being posted by my relatives. I comment to some but mostly, i just take a look at their pictures. I find it fascinating that some people can really just always be at FB, as what i have seen with some of my relatives.

I typically get on facebook to talk to and view pictures of my families states away. We may not always have time for phone calls. But, a message or comment on facebook does seem to remind them hey I'm thinking of you and miss you without having to try to contact each other over and over with missed calls and hurried conversations! :) Plus I enjoy posting pictures of my kids for the family to see.

Facebook can really let us connect with relatives from abroad or far place. Though we may not physically see each other, we get to see the new born babies in the family and get to see them grow through pictures. That's what we really have to thank FB for.

I only signin on facebooks to check if there is a friend request or message. After that I check my wall for new posts. I am not an a facebook addict. I prefer to stay here on mylot. I get bored on facebook easily.

yes you are right. I also prefer mylot than facebook. I enjoy staying here. In Mylot, you can also gain friends here and at the same time earn money. If you have questions or problems, you can create a discussion and tell other mylotter's opinion. They are always ready to help us. I find this place a perfect place to improve my communication skills. . Happy mylotting!

I tend to log in and out of facebood throughout the day. I like to write articles on line too, on my blog and on my websites. Facebook is a good way of sharing my writing with friends I have made on there and there are friends who I know in the "outside" world who leave messages and arrange meetings etc. It is a great way to chat in real-time too. Quite good to have everything available on one site. My computer though is shut down every night to give it a rest, so nobody is going to find me on-line or appear to be on line. _Derek

I like to read the posts of my friends on Facebook, but I think I am playing games more than anything. I am addicted to farmville and spend some time there. But there are also other games that I like to play. Right now I am hooked on "Words with Friends", which is scrabble with someone else. I love trying to figure out the words and where to put them, and I have to admit that I think I lose more games than I win, but I like playing anyway. There are other games that I occasionally play as well.

I am revising my own story, not for online, but I prefer using the computer for my work, so I am personally online from morning to night, but I always sign out and shut down my computer at night.

Well, I'm just online in facebook to chat something with friends about online earnings. I sometimes post message in my profile wall about political views and quote from the bible to inspire anyone who lost patience...

Hello, I used face book to post links of my articles. I want some views of my pages. Though I have not enough friends on FB. I think it is not good to keep logged facebook. Once I done it but I faced some problem in using it. So it is my suggestion after completing your work logoff FB.

I talk to various friends on facebook and family. Last night I spent the time talking with my pastor about different things. It is a good way to stay in contact with some people. I also play a game or two or look at my friend's pictures and post some of my own. Once in a while I will write a note or something.

I joined because my daughter in law asked me too. I got involved in a couple of games and when I found out you had to keep adding friends to keep playing it just seemed to get stupid. You didn't need to add these people because of friendship but over a game. I only go there about once a month now because I just check to see if my DIL wrote anything and there is one business I keep up with there. Its a self owned business so I like reading what she is up to. I learn more and do more on mylot now than facebook. Deleted all my games etc and just play games elsewhere.

I love Facebook till last month. I love Facebook because my friends live in it. I mostly used to get into Facebook to have chat and as well as to look notifications. Now a days my friends doesn't used to get into Facebook so Facebook is getting really bored.

Before I go online on facebook to see the new post of my friends, I also am fun of looking at new pics. But the most time I spent on facebook is playing games. I don't do chatting at all, I just replied to messages when it's important and I feel like doing so.

Usually I just have fun with my friends, we chat and have fun, or I do something silly or stupid to other people. For me, facebook is for fun, not for something serious, so I'm using all it can give us to have...fun. Also, I use it to chat with people that live far away, yet are my good friends, or to chat with relatives that live abroad. It can be a great thing, but facebook can be in a way dangerous too..
