I wish it would go the way of MySpace and just go away.
I canceled my account for good in August.
I don't like it. That's just me.
There is no reason I have to share the minutia of my life to the whole f**king world!  :buggedout:

Except here, of course.  :wink:

I have over 2100 people on my friends list.
Many of them are wrong on a variety of issues.
As soon as I straighten them all out, I'll be glad to leave.

I use it. Partially to just post jams to people I'm friends with who probably wouldn't have heard the music elsewhere.

Also, I like posting a political statement and watch the arguments unfold.  :wink: :cheers:

I left FB almost two years ago: I just felt that it wasn't the place for me anymore.

Aside from my work websites and here, I don't go online much anymore.
We shall meet in the place where there is no darkness.

Until there is a better way of keeping in touch with Kristi's family I think I am stuck on facebook.

Carrier pigeons. Seriously, in the modern world the carrier pigeon has become an effective alternate means of communications. A good CP can carry a micro SD card in a weather proof container that can carry tremendous data in an encrypted format to keep it safe.

Plus if you're sending a message to people in a bad way and cut off you can send several pigeos to serve as emergency food rations.  :teddyr:

We have a lot of birds of prey in this area, but not a lot of pigeons. There may be a connection here.

The Burgomaster

I use Facebook as a way to find and stay in contact with people from my past. My posts are usually light and frivolous (much like my life). I try to stay away from all the political agitation that poisons Facebook.

"Do not walk behind me, for I may not lead. Do not walk ahead of me, for I may not follow. Do not walk beside me either. Just pretty much leave me the hell alone."

Facebook is great if you are narcistic and belong to the Me Me Me Generation. You get to feel like a celebrity because your page is all about you you you. Your "friends" are your selected audience, and they will shower you with likes likes likes.

Wanna set yourself apart? You can pretend to be not another social media sheep. Just criticize and eye-roll Facebook's flaws occasionally (you have to keep it real after all) and don't follow Cristiano Ronaldo like the 100 million other sheep. You are the smart and edgy Facebook user because you follow George Takei.

Facebook to me is wash, rinse, repeat: post a selfie ever so often. Post either something you are angry (emoticon), sad (emoticon), excited (emoticon) or happy (emoticon) about. Post your food. Post your favorite music (that no one really cares about). Post about your favorite artist (that no one really cares about). Spread your musings, politics, religion or other propaganda and point people to the charitable button for Fundraisers and Donations (that people pretend to care about).
And this goes without saying: share the latest viral trend because they are lap slapping lolz hilarious. Like, for real.

So boring.

I get the point of Facebook; it's an EZ homepage maker, but it's too slow & bloated to for my tastes. 

I have used it for a business. Not sure it's very helpful there.

I got Facebook back as a way to call for help :/
yeah no.
