Facebook - is it worth it?

[DjNutcase]

I see all my friends on Facebook, posting photos, videos, gigs, giving mundane details about what they dreamt the previous night. Is it a good idea to get into the Facebook addiction - what are your experiences? Is moderation the key?

Apparently someone still believes Fox News. I have a Facebook, simply because NOT having one makes you the weird one these days. The only thing you can do in it is masturbate on your ex's photos, which is pathetic of course.

Not friends with my ex... But I see your point.

I'm guilty of being on facebook, but I try not to be annoying and post about what I had for dinner, or God forbid post drunk. That's what MS is for anyway.

So I should have one simply because everyone has one?

Handy tip : Take hi-def videos of all your girlfriends at the time, then you have wank material for life

^^^ If i had a dollar for everytime anyone said to me "everyone is on it" I would be rich. Like that is a good thing?? Individuality FTW !

I am not on facebook but I'm pretty sure it has caused me grief!! Don't do it.!!

We've had some awful things happening here in Australia . Some arsehole kids thought it would fun to say they would release a child who has been missing for 7 years if the the page had a million hits. Others defaced the page and put up links of child porn on a memorial site for a child who was murdered last week. Once those things are out there deleting pages is useless.

What I think is weird is how many people get into it. I can understand from the promotional point of view, it can be a useful tool. But who wants tools ruling their life

Re: Facebook - is it worth it?

I don't see how having a Facebook loses someone's individuality. Some things are popular for a reason and Facebook is no exception. You can find people you haven't met in years and see how they are doing. Nothing bad about it. In the end people who consider themselves as unique and different from the rest of the "flock", are thinking just like everyone else. The only difference is that some people express it through Facebook, others through something else (internet forum, I guess ).

Off Topic: Why would I want to make a HD video of me having sex with my ex? I can just have sex with her and continue fooling myself that things are going to last forever. So why would I need a wank material for later? Gotta try this in the future though .

Re: Facebook - is it worth it?

to be honest, i didnt have one until about a month ago, and i missed out on so much... now i have one and couldnt b happier... the only thing that is a cunt is people who you arent actually friends with but know and dont want to be rude to, who ask you to be their mate on fb... kinda awkward position... and that reduces your freedom on there somewhat... also, psycho ex girlfriends who wanna be your friend and you are like, wtf????

Re: Facebook - is it worth it?

I've never had a facebook. I use linkedin instead. Just doesn't seem appealing from what I've heard and seen, "tagging" and constant "updates" just because...seems lame. That said, I can certainly understand the promotional usages of it.

You know that would really only get you maybe a hundred dollars at best. You don't know that many people. No one really does. Even when they have 5000 "friends" on FB.

FB to me is a place to keep in touch with people that you feel really have something in common with you. Music, Art, Movies...but there are a lot of people (DJ's mostly) who just use it like a scaled down version of Myspace. Which I usually delete all the dj's I have on my page. I hate getting invited to shows half way around the world...and if you say you won't go, they send you another invite a few days later...by bye friend.

It's all about getting what you want, or need out of it. If you think it could help you out...I say go for it. Not everyone's doing it.

Re: Facebook - is it worth it?

Well I'm counting all the times on the internet And I would feel quite rich with a few hundred dollars at the moment.

I keep in touch with the people I have things in common with either in real life with conventional methods , like actually talking face to face , going out with etc. or through specific forums like this. Don't have to worry about deleting anything.

Btw I'm not on Myspace either, but I like it far more because it's really easy to check out the Artist's, their music, tour dates etc.

Good luck with that. The premier of Qld have a really hard time getting them to take down the things I mentioned earlier. But once you join Facebook there ain't no such thing as personal photo's. Btw You got links to those shots seeing I'm not on facebook and don't know your friends name
