i dont use facebook, i hate it plus they have privacy issues i know this cause i fixed PCs in the past cause of facebook and also facebook gives/sells users information to other sites. i had a few ex friends sign up to it and suddenly their photos , location, and personal data was on those dating sites etc. tho i dont really care after what my family done but most of them are on facebook and they are all over dating sites which they never even heard off and my sis was getting weird guys mailing her. my opinion id say away but there is also alot of facebook lovers.

I have a facebook. Two, in fact. It's just a way to keep in touch with family for me. I'd rather send a private message or post a few photos of what I'm doing lately than have long conversations with most of my family. I'm not very close with most of my family members, though I do care about them so.. we can see that each other is alive and don't have to annoy the hell out of each other with inane small talk. Works fine for me :P

FB does have security issues, but so does every site online. Just be careful where you share your photos and who you share them with. Also careful about what you share online. Once you post something, it can never be erased. Good things to keep in mind no matter where you visit online.

I use FB to play games but I don't have any friends on there.
I don't pay any attention to what other people are doing on there.

I closed my facebook account a few weeks ago. I had the account for a couple of years, but didn't make any friends. Mostly it's just an advertising platform for corporations. It didn't live up to my expectations.

However, I have heard some people rave about how great facebook is. Maybe it does work for some people. I guess people have to try it to find out if it's for them. It might work for you. I say give it a try. Who knows, you might meet some old classmates from way back when you were in grade school or high school.

I have a cell phone for emergency purposes and because I don't have a landline phone. It never rings except for wrong number calls. Is there any more telling thing about me than that? Clearly I don't have a life. However, it does have the time of day and date on it, so that's useful. And charging it twice a week gives me something to do . . .

my business has facebook page but I never use facebook...

Facebook is not a place to make friends. I do not have Facebook, not beicause I do not have friends, but because I do not believe it truly connects people - I think it makes people more distant from each other, it's superficial and mostly only posts positive things. Ironically, most of my closer friends do not have Facebook either. I feel that if people are in my past and we have not kept in touch, then there is a reason and I do not need to find them on Facebook. Plus if I do find them, Facebook won't give a real enough picture of who I am inside, only of what I do, I think that's the main issue - and I want people who are my friends to know who I am. I get in many debates with the few friends who do have facebook about how great it is, but I wholeheartedly disagree. I had it for a few weeks and despite a relatively active social life, it DID make me feel more lonely! I am here due to lack of a best friend, and a longing for closer family, but I do have friends and am almost always busy socially, sometimes it just feels like something is missing but most certainly Facebook is not the answer. I have had success with meetup.com, however, though I know it probably is not available in your area. Anyway, you are not missing anything with Facebook!

i feel you on this. I have work and school so i need to be connected to that, otherwise i dont pay attention to what others are doing, i only look at my stuff =)
no worries! you have us here!! :)
