Facebook, some love it and some hate it.  I am on it and don't mind it, but I feel that my wife is on it way to much.  I go on about once a week to once every two weeks.  I rarely talk to anyone on Facebook.  I mainly use it to post cool things that I find.  I usually find it boring.  I know that there are good points for Facebook too.  Finding old friends, finding new and exciting items.  Plus there might be the someone that got away.

I just think my wife spends too much time on it.  Her mom thinks the same thing too, so it is just not me being crabby.

Comments welcome.  Please vote.

I check in a few times a day. Sometimes I spent more time there, sometimes less. It's not so boring when you have a few friends to interact with. Thank god they aren't the farm ville/mafia wars type either.

Besides, I love reading updates on actors, directors and musicians I've friended. Just recently I've exchanged a few sweet private messages with Lynn Lowry. Can't beat that  :wink:

My wife is on it frequently but also goes on a site for stay at home moms.  She basically has up in between playing FB games.  I guess I'm ok with it.  She usually gets off the computer early in the evening when I usually prefer to go on the computer.   I had big issues with her on MySpace for awhile but that kind of died off.

No, neither my wife or I use it.  I know some of our relatives are fairly active on it, which is more than enough reason for us to stay far away.  Next thing you know they'd be inviting us to get-togethers or something.

I've been there only once for a few minutes....and I got 50 or so friend requests. I guess a lot of folks I know go there.

I check in once or twice a day to see what's new with family and friends.  In the beginning I used to play some of the games, especially FARMVILLE.  Then after awhile I really bored with them.  I still get people sending me pink cows or whatever.   :lookingup:

I used to until I realized how many hours I wasted playing those stupid games then I blocked them all and found free time  :thumbup:

I have it up as a tab, but I mostly don't spend too much time on there. :wink:

I am rarely on for a long, consecutive stint.  But I do check it multiple times per day to see what's going on and add comments to various discussions.

 My employer has blocked the site so I usually only check it in the morning or evening to see if anyone has emailed me. I've run into a few old friends on FB and a few friends who post music videos they enjoy have introduced me to some good music. Sometimes I'll try to do the same with movie clips. And I do enjoy the occassional Mafia Wars binge, although I don't send request to people unless I know they play as well.

FB is OK.  I treat it as just another forum, where the common ground is purely social.  But since it takes longer to sign in, I don't go on FB as much as I do elsewhere - here, for instance.   :wink:  Never did get into any of the games: I don't have that kind of time.  I'd rather be posting somewhere in the time I do have.

I check it every couple of days and use it mostly for co-ordinating things. Group messages are really handy when everyone has a different schedule during the week.

I'm on Facebook fairly often.  More often than not, while on my phone.  At home, I just check it to post videos or some such, but for checking/leaving comments and such, I just use my phone.

I resisted as long as I could, but so many people use it that I had to get on it.  I check it daily, but I wish I didn't have to.  Facebook is a necessary evil.

I'm still holding out on Twitter.  Got to put my foot down somewhere.

I signed up for Twitter . . . couldn't really figure it out . . . and never logged in again.

I'm on there but very sporadically. I'll go days and days and won't even think about checking it and then one day I'll put a whole bunch of stuff on there out of the blue. I think of it as a very public forum even if it is supposed to be just a bunch of your friends and find it ridiculous how some use it as an outlet for emotional outbursts - I see that as about the same as flipping out before a large crowd of people. I never play games on it as they all seem for the most part a complete waste of time and energy especially Farmville and MafiaWars, etc. (I finally blocked all those anyways as I got sick of requests for them). Actually I find I tend to interact more with the same people on it I interact with online for the most part...
