I have a facebook account but I rarely use it anymore. I don't have very many friends and the friends I do have aren't into the same things as me, so we never talk on facebook. I end up wasting countless hours "stalking" other peoples profiles (not that I feel guilty for it, if someone is stupid enough to have personal information open for the world to see, I'm going to exploit it), so I just try to stay off it now.

I don't have one, either. I shutdown my account about two months ago. If all of the people whom you'll be using Facebook to communicate with can be reached via other mediums (i.e. in person, over the phone, through Skype, etc.), then Facebook is utterly pointless. If you decide to make a Facebook account, prepare yourself for useless status updates, picture spamming, and all sorts of apps and advertisements which ruin and defeat the entire point of the site. Skip it.

Yes, but what if you are not close to some people but would still like to know what they are up to.

It's not pointless. It's a good way to get in touch with a lot of people at once. People invite you to things. It's convenient if somebody loses their phone and needs numbers. You can talk to cousins, aunts, uncles, and old friends and catch up. You wouldn't normally talk to those people if it wasn't for Facebook because they aren't close enough to you to talk to on the phone if you haven't seen them in a long time. Facebook allows you to still have a relationship. It's also a way that you can still maintain contact with people you used to go to high school with, or find old friends from a previous city that you lived in who you lost contact with. Also, the chat feature makes it easy to talk to a bunch of people. I sometimes have group conversations with co-workers. Where else could we meet to talk outside of work at a random time of the night? Facebook is great for all of those reasons.

This is why I use it.

You are missing out man. Where else do you go when you want to be up to date, second by second with people's trifle matters such as what they just ate or the last dump they took?! Also what better way to stalk girls?!

Oh boy and don't forget the unfunny, rehashed meme wall posts/statuses. Those are totally the s***. ;D

*re-reads*

Sounds all too familiar.

I haven't got one. That's been a cemented 'decision' since my mum invivted me to join. I wonder how many FBers' sexy contacts are really mums in disguise...

I don't have a Facebook and I'm proud of it. The founder of Facebook called his first few thousand users (a word that is censored here). http://www.theregister.co.uk/2010/05/14/facebook_trust_dumb/I refuse to support such a terrible excuse for a human being by using his site.Radiatedrich91
He better have grown up by now.

i dont have many IRL friends on here, so facebook is great way to keep in contact with them :P as well as cousins and what not. In saying that, i think facebook solves as many problems as it causes, all the cyberbullying, dumb **** people post, public events etc

I don't have one either.

Although, my wife has one so she typically updates people with pictures and all that jazz.

I was once a Facebook hater, a few years ago. Now, I love it and can't imagine living without it. It just makes everything so simple and convenient. As many have said, its great for keeping in touch with family, friends, and people who are sort of "friends". People you wouldn't normally chat or call, but are still interested in. Perhaps old high school friends who you've lost touch with. Or maybe someone you met once or twice but were never able to keep contact information.

I dont even care about games, apps, or any of that crap. What fascinates me the most is how much I've actually learned about other people's lives. As much as I hate to admit it, I think I know most of my friends better because of stuff they post on their walls, or the thinks they "Like". Same applies for people I barely knew in real life (maybe met once or twice in person) but had on FB. Learning about other people's interests, their new job, the birth of a family member, etc. It's great for learning things you normally wouldn't know about the people in your life.

Nope, there's no need for one. If I want to get in touch with somebody I contact them by phone or email.

I have a Facebook.

For some reason, I think spending time talking to people you don'tknow on Gamespot may be just as bad as spending time talking to people you doknow on Facebook.

No, no, that can't be right. All the geniuses in this thread can't possibly be wrong. :P
