hating facebook is cool now. So you dont like it, or you think its for Saddos etc. Truth is it whiles away many many boring hours at work or at home. You can stay in touch with your friends easier. (oooh but if they were friends you'd use a phone, f**k off and be practical! FB is free!) you can store memories, photos etc.

Sure you can be egotisitcal and attention seeking too, but you can ignore those that do that also. You can play scrabble, you can use that Farmville thingy (I dont) but really what harm is it for others to do so?

I really think people need to get over it. Stereotyping TENS OF MILLIONS of people as idiots or whatever really is only a reflection on the small minded nature of the originator of such insults. People on my 'friends' list range from a Oxford Uni professor with more degrees than the entirity of Chit Chat (prob not hard I know) to an old schoolf riend who is apparently a pole dancing sl*g.

basically it accomodates for all sorts. Dont like it dont use it. I am split as to whether you should continue to moan ya little faces about it though as I do quite like reading your pathetic little rants about it. That said it does take time away from other such pressing matters as who is going to win X Factor and in what order you'd do Girls Aloud.

I heard some imbeciles on the radio today complaining that their 11 year old daughters (and younger) had been targeted by undesirables pretending to be teenagers on Facebook.

The imbeciles seemed a bit non-plussed when they were asked why their young daughters were themselves lying about their ages to get on Facebook in the first place.

was recently on a stag weekend with him as it happens. Now through facebook organising meetings when Im back in the UK will be easier. Also through fb I was able to stay in contact with a number of people I met on said Stag do. All this at zero cost. Oh How Evil and pathetic I must be for wanting to do so.

Anyway, I don't like Facebook, but I absolutely detest Twitter. Now, that IS for morons.

Banquo - Twitter now I will allow abuse on that subject. i havent actually ever been to the site, but my understanding of that is that its just a series of status updates? Why you'd want to do that is actually beyond me.

FB and twitter both extremely useful marketing tools though so to business they are extremely useful.

Nobody answered my Q; do ppl think social networking sites are a phase/trend or are they here for good?

canaryboy I would make a sweeping generalisation if I may be, that Poker Players are bigger morons than any group mentioned so far. Egotistical, greedy and anti social (the online breed). Very moany too.

but why would you not be in contact with people you are bothered about?

do people really care what people they've never contacted in years think?

surely a reason they don't talk any more. and how would they discover your life story from fb or even care? as again, there will be a reason you lost touch.

i agree with everything he says.. i keep in touch with everyone i liked at school, college, uni, then work.. and still do. the rest can fk off

I'm computer-averse and have no intention of ever joining anything like Facebook, but can appreciate the benefits of it to people of my age group.

My parents couldn't afford to have a 'phone when I was young, in fact, they never had one until I paid for the installation of one when I was about 24 after my dad suffered his first heart attack.

Thus, it wasn't easy to keep in touch with people you met at school/college/further afield, other than by letter. Which I did for a while, but it just naturally fades out after a while, in the main.

I would imagine there are all sorts of people I'd like to be in contact with again, who may use Facebook.
But, I won't be joining.

england away-

Completely irrelevant and pointless. A pal of mine recently had a clear out of his face-book friends by deleting all the so-called "friends" he had never met!!
Its for pond-life, nerds and those deeply sad individuals who watch X-factor, read The Sun and wander around half asleep with earphones in (listening to mass produced "baby,baby" music) because they are exhausted after a 13 hour shift on World of Warcraft, or that other ***** where you have an avatar in a make believe world!!!!
These are the people who do not respect anyone and will ultimately destroy this fragile planet
The me, me , me generation.
Should be banned! Rant over.

-------------

i'd like to call that and raise it with a:

its a site for wierdos, freaks and stalkers. desperate 30 somethings who think their relationship/life is 5hite and the grass is greener. its caused, according to my pals, at least 2 families 2 break up, as the woman goes on a c0ckfest. my argument was that if they were window shopping anyway, then things werent right in the first place. it is a catalyst for 5hite relationships and helps bring them to a premature end.

the only good thing about it is, that, if yr partner spends a ridiculous length of time on it, then the relationship is facked. so its a good early warning system for failing relationships. it also tells u an awful lot about a person who would rather spend hours sat in front of a computer, typing messages to people they havent seen in years, rather than spending time with their partners, friends or children.

orioles - exactly. however, im at work, i havent got friends or family here. the people im referring to are the sadacts who get home from work and dive straight onto their facebook, whilst ignoring their family.

I agree wolsey...facebook is ok for keeping in contact with people you have met or went to school etc with but that's about it. Was reading that one girl on my list was excited as she was currently having a few drinks with her family...can''t have been that exciting or she wouldn't have had time to update her status.

Twitter is a lot of **, can't believe that people think they are so important that they need to tell the world what they are doing or their thoughts on anything and everything.
