I have a Facebook account, but I only made it to join our Campaign Creations usergroup. Other than that I don't use it. I don't really have a need to use it. I talk to everyone I know on AIM, anyway, so there's no point. :\

I use facebook all the time but I immediately delete anyone from my friends who invites me to an obnoxious application.

I hate facebook. I am on it because my friends convinced me to get it so they could contact me. I use it very rarely, pretty much only if I need to get a hold of someone and I feel the reason doesnt justify a phone call and I dont have them on MSN. I dont use it for anything else. I hate the stupid news feed and the dumb applications.

Its useful when organizing parties and things. Not that email can't be used for the same thing, but now you know everyone who's going and there's a place to put all the pics and things and discuss it afterwards

It's that same with all those social portals like facebook or myspace or some german pages, I register and for the first 2 weeks I actually do something but then i just stop using them.
I see most people that I care about every week and have all of them in IM and the people I don't care about...well why bother reading their updates or writing them?

Its an incredibly useful utility for keeping in touch with old freinds,correct.

For everything from setting up events with people who live far away when your going to visit. Extremely useful.

For example , i'm going home for christmas and i've set up an event at a bar , with 40 of my old freinds. :D

Let the good times roll.

Saying that , there is a ridiculous amount of aplications which are completely useless and that keep people obsessed.

For those that think Facebook is a waste, I used to think the same, too, but recently FB has turned out to be a very good gaming platform for the broadest audience. It is much more than just the social networking. It's a great place to find some great/fun/addicting games to play for those that rather not pay for games and/or have to constantly upgrade their computers, AND at the same time want to play something other than StarCraft (should that sadly ever happen).

I personally think Facebook gets more useful the older you get. Once folks get employed, married, and move all over the place its hard to stay in touch like you did in college.

Mafia wars (and such) is kinda like an MMORPG flash game, and if I have to register to facebook to get it... Sure, why not.

FUCK THAT GAME.

It's good for staying in touch with relatives but too many drama queens and attention whores.

yeah that may be true but i find it extremely useful/awesome as a college student. it's a way to keep in touch with friends from back home who are thousands of miles away. i like looking through their pictures, check out what they are up to and so on. fb reminds me of friends' birthdays that i should take care of, in the midst of hectic college life. i can also keep track of all the events that are coming up: where and where it's happening, what kind of party it is, and who's attending. facebook chat is useful as well because my friends and i haven't really used aim since like freshman year of high school. i'm probably forgetting other useful functions but whoever claims facebook is only for garnering attention, i don't know what to say lol

Does anyone else think that the old facebook's layout like 2-3 years ago was better than the new one? I certainly thought it was.

The new layout and the old layout doesn't really make a difference to me...I hated the spaz when they changed it. It's not that it's worse but it's just new and took awhile to get used to. That's all.

And yea. I use facebook just about everyday :3

I like staying in touch with friends but I don't like staying THAT in touch. No facebook for me.

I use FB and MS probably 1-3 times a week. I really hate all those annoying applications and people's spam posts about them needing people to help them water plants in farmland. Or people spamming messages to get me to join their mafia. Fuck you.
