    I still refuse to be a part of this social network nonsense - there is a reason I don't see certain people anymore! I don't need them to give me their daily update of crap that I don't care about. It still annoys me that there are photos all over facebook with me in them!

    This is the closest I've ever come to a social network i guess

    My flatmate is ADDICTED to facebook, constantly on it. I've witnessed him talk to women in bars/clubs and one of the first questions is, "are you on facebook" if they so "no" he just walks away. He's met up with loads of women who he never met before (except from facebook) just for sex - it's mental!

    the most crazy thing i saw, a girl i used to go school with announcing to her 1000+ 'friends' that she has been put on diazapan.

    im not certain all 1000 friends are actual friends that she should be confiding her new medicine in.

    begs the question- how many friends on facebook are actual FRIENDS?

    I loved LiveJournal.. from 2003ish to 2006. It was awesome :)

    I rely on FB for updates on current events - I get reports on massive traffic delays, natural disasters, bad weather that are affecting my area. Prior to that, it was just relying on TV / radio updates, which just weren't as effective as a mass of people compiling information about a situation.

    It blows my mind what people post on facebook. This girl my age that has a son recently posted about how she was so excited that she wasn't going to jail for being caught in a meth house....

    friendster then myspace, then facebook, now google+

    But I have to admit. I miss myspace. I feel to vulnerable on FB plus I can't annoy people with my personalized profile page and song.

    I checked into myspace and I still have Christmas in Hollis by RUN DMC from...........3 years ago.

    My friend and I were discussing just this topic with my sister's boyfriend's kid who is 14. We asked him do people still pass notes in class or do they just say facebook me? LOL..In our days, you drove by your crushs house. LOL> now you can just facebook them and know their every move. hahaha...but people take it to the extreme. I've seen people post pics of them giving birth! eeekkk and pics of a funeral..that is just a wee bit too much!!

    Life before facebook was better imo. People being constantly in contact with their friends via it when theyre out and about where it used to be "Im going out see you later" now its "im going out TEXT ME:D"

    People seem to have forgotten how to communicate in real life now, some people I've talked to are chatty as hell on facebook, meet them in real life and theyre a snail in a shell basically. Kinda annoying.
