Re: Facebook - is it worth it?

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

For real!!! I have a couple of people that I am friends with (In real life, too), that do this shit all. The. Time.

Like they are the almighty source of knowledge, and have all the answers to all the difficult questions in life.

^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 .

The reasons I find it scary are definitely not gender specific !! They are the reasons like the ones I posted very early in this thread which I would have thought would be of concern to everyone. I'm not scared for me specifically .
Btw women here aren't worried about walking to their car either. As I said [gee I type that a lot ] Myspace all on one page = easy.

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?

yo, so are you going to take the plunge brah?

Re: Facebook - is it worth it?

facebook can be an amazing thing if you use it properly. if you creep people and use it for stupid reasons, then you reap what you sew.

if you network, post interesting things, use it to promote, and other positives, then it is by far the best social networking site in existence
