    Nothing is fun about it. It serves as a place for me to relay information to my friends that I can't text them about (youtube videos, lolsy pictures, neat links, etc).

    Other than that, I don't really bother with it *shrug*.

    I use it to communicate with a few people I don't bother texting and stuff too...it reminds me of birthdays I would have otherwise forgotten.

    Yeah, and that creator actually became a millionaire through that and have a movie about him being produced.

    I still wonder why people get addicted to facebook as if it's porn.

    Because people are nosy, gossipy and easily amused. Facebook caters to all 3 of those things.

    im gonna agree with you on this one. i have constantly thought in my head "why are you even on here?" when viewing certain people's profiles. these include the ones with only like 30 friends, and people who post a status every 10 min that nobody ever replies to. it doesnt matter if you got a billion friends, its just sad if nobody ever actually "socializes" with you. oh, and im also sure the creator intended us to befriend strangers because it tells you "blah blah blah has joined facebook too! add him/her" but if you actually do it, ur lame.

    Mostly just to send a few funny links to people I want to keep in touch with, and use facebook chat.

    I have it because there are some people I really want to keep in touch with and this keeps them all in one place. It's not like Twitter, which you have no real business using unless you're promoting something or you're a celebrity (Even still, dumb), which is why I like it.

    I don't have it to show anything off, I just have friends there.

    Well, mostly. I'm trimming the herd soon. I'm literally so over hearing about how your boyfriend sucks and then see you're "In a Relationship" with him 10 minutes later.

    Which you only use to tell me to get on MSN.

    I'm only friends with people I know, and who I like to keep in touch with. It makes things so great.

    The only thing having a facebook would do is make it easier for my friends to see embarrassing shitty pictures of me from High School.

    Does seem like a good tool to keep in contact with people who you otherwise wouldn't give a shit about, but if I don't care enough to text or call why even bother.

    eh i dont use it, i've had people ask me if i have a facebook account though and everyone always tells me to make one, i just don't see the point.

    i "use" twitter though, i dont tweet stuff but i use it to follow a lot of websites and people and podcasts ect.

    I keep hearing about these "friends", how does one get these? are they hard to maintain?

    In all honesty facebook/myspace just provide me with a way to contact or be contacted when an issue doesn't need immediate attention.

    I use it to keep in touch and creep on people.

    Dunno why you guys don't like it =O

    Might be the age gap I guess. It's like a necessity for highschool/college.

    I find it annoying how people can actually get addicted to facebook ;/
    Then again, people can get addicted to almost anything.
    Even till today, I have not swayed by my firm "belief"(lol) and havn't visted facebook or even any links that linked to facebook. Harhar.

    I guess it's really an age gap thing.

    I've fucking noticed that. You leave no way for anybody to get in touch with you.

    Especially about Blind Guardian concerts you should rightfully be attending.
