Seriously, I am the only one on this planet that is still not on Facebook?
I'm not on facebook. I've talked to several people who said they quit fb, because it was too time-consuming, too many friend requests from strangers, etc.
I do have facebook, but I'm completely private (you can't even search for me) and I use my middle name instead of my first name. It's for close friends and family, considering I have them all over the world, and it's much easier to share pictures and whatnot that way. I've never had more than 150 'friends' and I do know each and every one of them personally.
I do think far too many people take facebook too seriously and get really butthurt when people 'defriend' them, and I delete anyone who posts things that are passive aggressive or bitchy in any way.
I didn't even know I was on Facebook until my husband told me that he started it for me to post some pictures from our annual Halloween party for some guests I didn't even know. I use it to keep in touch with the shorties in my life and yes I'm sooo envious of their parents who get to feed and cloth them and deal with the after math of me spoiling the crap out of them after our sleep overs. It's so hard just having all the fun and none of the day to day work. Yep, envious. Facebook has been fun for me. Just yesterday I was chatting with a friend from Maine. It's like anything else. It's what you make of it.
I enjoy Facebook too, I have lived and worked on 3 continents and I love how I can almost effortlessly keep in touch with people from across my history and life experiences. I am old enough to remember the days of having to write letters, and never skip Christmas cards. it was so time consuming and too easy to lose touch forever. Now I have a lot of those people from my early days of travel and work back in my life again.
I deal wth the occasional obnoxious and inflammatory posters by hiding them. No big deal.
I can see that for people who have lived in the same place and dealt with he same people for years and years it would be useless and boring though. I also can't fathom why you would accept a friend request from someone you have never met.
