i love it. 762 friends and i never have drama (although i do have a dozen or so people that i can't delete 'hidden' so i never see their updates). when i had 2000+ 'friends', i had drama all the time so i deleted the majority of them. now it is just old high school acquaintances, family and current friends.

How do you manage to have 762 friends? Do you simply invite everyone on sight?

nope. i never invite. ever.
i'm just that popular. *wink*

my high school was small (graduating class of 96) and everyone was friends with everyone so that accounts for 350 or so, my large family take another 150 or so and the rest are dear friends from college or in the current city i live. when i had 2000+, if was because i included people i worked with (mostly authors). they are gone from my facebook account now and i just keep in touch with them through email.

I have an extra 20 minutes to half hour in the mornings to exercise now. Not even for one second do I miss having facebook. I look back and wonder why I ever signed up!

I love FB. I don't understand why people complain about "stupid postings" when you can choose your friends. You can also opt out of seeing status updates from certain people. I never have drama with FB, and I have over 400 friends. I like staying connected to family and old friends, and because I work at a high school, I can also keep in touch with our alumni and current students. I enjoy having my FB.

I actually closed my account! anyone feeling the same.. lol

I quit 2 weeks ago, never EVER EVER going back. MFP is my new healthy hang out which is far less addictive (for me) and I get to do something I enjoy, stay healthy with others. So many people not worth my time on FB as much as I miss the family link, we've all started texting and emailing one another more and putting in actual effort to talk with one another now that I'm not on there, and I realized it was just a brain sucking pit of doooooom.

deactivated mine too. it was only making me angry.....way too many political opinions and fake smiles. Not to mention watching people actually "delete" people from their lives over an internet debate. Ridiculous. I was also spending WAAAY too much time on the games....AND comparing my life to other people's....which is stupid, considering its all a bunch of filtered CRAP.
All I saw there were smiling happy pictures, and then I'd get messages about how miserable people were. What?
I feel SO much better having deleted it.
I do miss being in touch with people, but the important ones know how to get in touch with me and vice versa.

Exactly!!!! I feel this sentiment so much.

FB comes in handy when I want to contact someone whose phone number/e-mail I don't have. Then again, maybe I don't have their phone/e-mail because it's so handy to contact them through FB? The chicken or the egg?

I used to like following people's updates but now my feed is cluttered with shared articles/news/celeb pictures/music clips which I don't care about. Now I just check my feed once or twice a week!

I think it is good for some things, like keeping up to date with relatives and such. I do get tired of reading what someone is doing every minute of the day or who feels what about which political issue, which is why I have never been on Twitter. On top of that, many don't think about what they're posting. Indicating you are on vacation is a great way to get robbed, plus potential employers check it out to see what is posted. College pics with drunkfests aren't a great identifying mark. I made the mistake of using a similar password at one time and ended up with fraudulent charges on paypal and itunes as a result. Just be careful and sensible.

I use it for Grandparents and other family who live away, just so they can see pix of the kids, but all the other drama - so over it!

i keep mine just so i can stay in touch with a bunch of my friends i don't get to see often. i'm more on tumblr and mfp though..

I love FB because it has put me back in touch with a lot of people I thought I would never see again.

I do keep my friends pretty limited. My rule is, "If I wouldn't want to have lunch with them, I don't friend." This keeps my friends list to a manageable 75. If someone gets too political or religious in their posts, I just "hide" them so they won't show up on my news.

The new updates are disturbing, and so I have not posted anything since the changes. No matter what my privacy settings are on my own page, if a friend likes or comments on a picture or post - all of their friends can see it. If one of them comments or likes - all of their friends can see it. It has the potential for hundreds to thousands of strangers to see stuff of mine that I don't necessarily want them to see. I will be deleting all content on my FB page and only use it to stalk others. (LOL!)
