Facebook - is it worth it?

Re: Facebook - is it worth it?

Facebook has its advantages and disadvantages like any social networking tool imo, I mostly use it to track all my fav artists; which is rather cool or else I would never find the time to individually look them up.

On the flip side I do believe that all these social networking apps will be the death of us eventually

I actually find myspace a lot easier to check out artists. The layout is really easy to use . You can check out their music get tours dates etc. a lot easier. Not a member there either.

I watch everybody else doing it

Fascination, like watching a car wreck !! So many people I know have been really upset by things that have happened to them on facebook. I guess it isn't "just" the internet when it has this power.

Let me in on the joke. Or is that just hysteria

I guess it is just a personal opinion, but to me myspace looks like someone has vomited a load of fliers up on the screen and allowed it to dribble down for several pages then swapped out the shiny quad core in your computer for a 486 and switched out your broadband for a 56k modem. And then added another 6 pages of unrelated people spamming stuff that nobody really cares about.

Just imo

Re: Facebook - is it worth it?

Yeah, you are probably right. It looks crap. But everything I want is on the front page. As I said, play the music, check the tour dates. That's pretty much all I want so I don't need it to look good. !!

Best of all you can easily find artists. Not get "Is this the Joe blow you want ??"

the joke to me is it's funny to read all the paranoia-type posts regarding these websites.. "It scares the shit out of me.."

^the experience differs for women than it does for men...

not unlike the experience of walking to your car at night in a parking lot...

... it's just another example of something men don't have to think twice about, but women have to be highly guarded.

Regarding myspace, if you never really used facebook when it originated, myspace is going to seem more user friendly because everyone seemed to use myspace, and many artists still do

... I think a lot of people are late adopters because they wonder how many times there going to have to switch networking websites or what have you... And they already feel as though they use the internet enough as it is .

I agree, no point in being paranoid over a site. Either you want your stuff online or not. Even if you choose not to join FB, likely there are some photos of you on it anyway

^ lol

btw, I closed my FB acount... I started getting bored of watching everybody posting things I donīt care, and trying to show the world how "cool" they are, or how many "friends" theyīve got... fuck them! if you want to talk to me, call me or write me a personal email... are we friends or not? fuck FB imo

Re: Facebook - is it worth it?

Yeah..I have a few "friends" that are constantly saying how ill they feel, or they're sick, or today's a crappy day...etc. I had to finally "ignore" them to not see their posts and a one of them are a closer friend too. It's like jeez..suck the life outta you with their attention wanting. I would just end up responding with "Again?". Other than that, I enjoy facebook.

Re: Facebook - is it worth it?

I get sick of people updating their status with "motivational" sayings or religious stuff, like they're all high and mighty or fucking Tony Robbins!
