    I have FB but to be honest I talk to people on MFP loads more so don't bother with it. I've met some inspirational people here!

    I used to but I had to delete it. I wish I could've stayed in touch with my friends and family. :/ Oh well, I guess this is my new facebook! I only accept girls though.

    Nothing in my day to day life warrants being posted on the internet, nor do I want to read that someone I know has again farted glitter, or that their special snowflake said a funny word.

    My friends all know how to use email, text, phones, and even (gasp) know how to mail the occasional card via snail mail.

    So no, I've never had a FB account and don't see the day I ever would.
    I just wonder why email, text, etc, are somehow superior to posting on facebook so all your friends can see it at one time? If you don't want to have facebook, fine, but it really seems like a lot of people are just snotty about it.

    I have opened facebook accounts twice and deleted them. I have enough other ways to waste time that I didn't need that one, too.

    While I have a Facebook account, MFP is where I am 95% of the time now!

    I don't have facebook, my boyfriend doesn't either. I did for a while, but the people I want to talk to, I keep in contact through the phone.

    i've had my fb since it first started for university students only. it was a bored at school thing then an every once in a while thing but i use it daily now for job networking (in the theatre world its an incredibly important thing to do), keeping up with all my friends/family (only close ones are on there, i delete people if they aren't in my life in a positive way), and sharing videos, articles and other meme type stuff we enjoy. i have crazy strict privacy settings and regularly update them.

    i've thought of closing it before but would have very little interaction with those people--i work most days from 8am-11pm, can't use my phone at work so i've gotta feel in the loop somehow and be able to leave little messages for people that won't interrupt their sleep.

    I had one to keep in touch with my daughter, until I found out any pictures I posted became the property of Facebook.

    Exactly.

    I don't have it. I've thought about it and see that it would have some good aspects, but I don't want that much information about me out there for eternity under my real name.

    Also had an account which I de-activated over a year ago...found it was a big waste of my time and too much nonsense is posted there..get along just fine without it.

    I still use FB daily. Not really sure why though. I talk to more people on here than I do on there. lol.

    I don't use it. I figure if someone wants to know about me, they can get in touch with me via phone, face-to-face, email or whatever. I don't need it all posted on a site for everyone else to know my business.

    Thank you OP for this. I was starting to feel like I was the only one not into it.

    I have FB and personally, I find it great for keeping in touch with ppl and finding old friends. Personal conversation is rarely on my wall, and is done through inbox, chat, email, good ol' telephone, and in person!
