I got facebook because all my friends use it, and it's really good for organizing shit with friends without having to call/text them all.

I probably use it every day for about 10-15 mins at least.

I think it's very useful for planning shit/keeping in contact with friends you no longer live near.

i have one
it's blank and i only use it to look at event invitations or whatever from friends
idk

I don't have many friends and I dislike posting pictures of myself on the internet. Any way I look at it, it makes me look like an attention whore something that I don't like. It corrupts your soul.

To be part of society.

Or rather, be a good part of it.

In this day and age you can't be cool and not drink, not have a facebook or not have a mobile. It's essential wear for the noughties climate.

I just set up a facebook for fam and few friends but i don't like it because i hate this pseudo socializing.

Would love to delete it but that would look strange to some.

Jumped on facebook back when Myspace was THE THING. Used it regularly until it started getting popular, then bailed. Now I check it maybe once a month for 10 minutes max, same time I check my 6 email accounts.

I have one. I don't use it anymore. It's because I'm a fucking loser. I can admit that much.

It's a great creation, but of course there are going to be idiots in every facet of life.

My internet persona is far funnier than my real life one, which why I keep a facebook.

>Would love to delete it but that would look strange to some.

That's the fucking point. You are FORCED to use it, if you don't want to look like a creep and social-retard.

Fuck you internet, what have you become?

I'm on facebook, I haven't disabled my profile yet just so I can look at the pictures of a female friend of mine. Srsly..

Because of friends and family wanting me to get one, so I decided to...mostly because some of them don't get on whatever messenger they use, or don't know how to use it in the first place.

I barely use facebook, but I check in every once in a while so some of them won't get butthurt, though some do get butthurt anyways when I do check in for whatever daffy reason.

It's both good and bad, good cause it means I can keep in touch with some certain people I wouldn't be able to in the first place, bad because some of those people now won't even call me anymore, that and people getting on my case if I write something that they don't like.

if you generally interact with worthless middle class idiots yeah you need a facebook
good thing i'm rich

>go on vacation
>"man that was a great week..now time to check my facebook"
>see this

>forever alone

>guy posts a status asking others what they thought of a football game
>one like

>girl posts "i want some chipotle"
>7 likes, 14 comments

I mainly use one because I don't like texting/using phones in general so that's how I make plans with people and shit. Really, if you don't have one, just get one and add everyone you know.

>>12614329
However, If you really really don't like it, just delete it. I've deleted mine a few times when I just wanna get away from things.

Although I met my current girlfriend on facebook, so I guess I'm pretty glad I have one haha. My friend who I hadn't talked to in a year messaged me and her friend who she was with thought I was cute. We exchanged numbers and texted all week and met on a Saturday and had my first kiss (and makeout, and fingered her). So yeah, I think you guys should get facebooks if you haven't tried it already :)

I was always against facebook since it got big but then I started going to college and making friends. They all had facebook and persuaded me to join. I eventually had a friend list full of people that I went to school with (most of whom I was never friends with and in some cases even had trouble with). Eventually it became to much of a hassle. After all, I am a very unsocial person. So I deleted it.

But now that i've left college I was again persuaded to rejoin because I have become slightly more social since and I wanted to keep in touch with the friends I have made over the years. It's no way near as bad as I remember and i'm hoping it will help in my future endevours with the opposite sex.

Although, I still think it is a prett disgusting thing. The whol idea of having all my details out there in cyber space. I have tinkered with the privacy settings and I am very careful of the information that I put out.

But let's be serious. There is nothing better than being anonymous.

Oh btw, i'm OP.

I don't have Facebook. The privacy implications make me feel iffy, even if it's something as mundane as simply revealing who my friends are to a company.

Best parts are that I don't have to worry about Facebook drama or an employer snooping on me.

Worst is that I miss out on a ton of fap material of girls I know or are friends of friends, and that I miss invitations to some social events.

because noone else in my fucking class or ambiance has facebook.

>meetin 2 girls in city
>they ask me for *name social network for students in germany*
>say i have facebook
>Alpha as fuck.

I don't have one, partly because I am a fucking loser (inb4 ugly aspie virgin retard) but mostly because the friends i keep contact with use communication by phone.
I don't really give a shit about my acquaintances.
Nothing really against the site, although it is kind of silly.

>>12614384

I'm too concerned about how a ton of websites are all "LINK YOUR FACEBOOK TO THIS ACCOUNT"

My mom used to be on my friends lists, then I noticed that she had her First name, Last name, Maiden name

>implying others can't find my mothers maiden name

Have a facebook.

Best part is keeping track of your social network and setting up fun events with friends. Also makes adding lots of names to a clubs guest list really easy. Also has resulted in a good amount of sex, with girls I was already seeing in all but 1 case-- freshman year of college a girl found me on facebook and we had sex. It was pretty cool.

I use it daily. I also post really witty status updates that get likes and comments. Getting likes and comments shows both your wit and your social value.

Guys with extremely high social value can post stupid updates and get tons of comments.

Guys with mid range social value have to be witty.

Guys with low social value would have to write something really witty.

Same with girls, but more for their attractiveness.

Anyways, social networking is the future. Privacy is really just a pretty name for lying and deceiving others. The world will probably be better with it gone.

I have an account but have put the bare minimum info on it and set the highest privacy settings.

I update 'status' now and again, maybe 2/3 times a week if I'm doing something interesting or have anything interesting to say.

I'm indifferent - I have an account but could quite easily live without one. I actually mainly use it to 'like' bands so they show up on my news feed when they're touring and stuff.

>apply for job
>"sorry, but you only have 20 friends on facebook. we don't want social retards"

To all the Facebook users, read this;

Facebook is disgusting and I can't wait till people start realising this.


Seriously, what has "friendship" become? Thanks to Facebook it's reduced to dick waving contests.

I personally despise this "social media generation"; feeling the need to put every mother fucking thing on the internet. Thanks to today's social media, friendship is no longer friendship, but an endless competition about who can tweet the most shit, have the most followers and friends, goes to the most parties and posts the mosts pictures of it.


Fuck you Mark Zuckerberg, fuck you for exploiting the masses with your shit, fuck you for exploiting them for your own gain, fuck you and your perverted view of the world.

hurrrrrrr durrrrr i haev 4289 frinds im so a important person :D:D ^^

>Check facebook

It is a typical Jew product

Have never used, Will never use facebook.

Facebook is a marketing pyramid scheme and an NSA database.

I don't like to waste all that time attention whoring.

God forbid some of my social circles were ever to intersect. The people I spend my time with range from drugged out NYC graffiti artists to 'upper crust' hamptons real estate families. Some days I'm chilling with squatters in the freedom tunnels, some days I'm researching rare books for my employer(s). I would not want my employer(s) finding out about who I hang with on my off time.

I don't wish to share my relationship status, or tell you what media I use to define myself with.

Facebook is a fucking timesink and a corporate datamining honeypot and you know it.

I just refuse to be a part of it. I let a GF make me a friendster page in 2004 and that's as far as I'm willing to go with social media.

Cheers, brethren. Facebook is denigrating social interaction as we know it.

Don't even get me started on fucking Foursquare

Don't have one, don't judge people who do or don't because in the grand scheme of things it's a pretty trivial detail.

Mostly don't want one because there are tons of terrible pictures of me on there already, no need to give people the ability to view them all in one convenient place.

Don't have a facebook, because I don't have any friends.

bumpan for hatred of facebook

>The CIA may look at the stuff when they feel like it

this probably goes for any website, even if the website itself doesn't approve

>>12614589
>for any website
>for any website in the US, yes.

>>12614589
>implying facebook isn't the CIA's one stop shop / immediate go-to whenever the need arises

FB's implications are far reaching and very disturbing. I'm really dumb struck by how many people aren't terrified of it.
