I am not bashing it. I 100% understand how Facebook can serve as a useful aid to keep in contact with your peeps, but........I don't even have a Facebook and I'm 100% thankful for that for a number of reasons. I'm really curious if there is anyone else out there who is a NON Facebooker.

    I've streamlined it. I don't get game requests and stupid stuff like that. Just nice to be able to check in on peeps and see what's up. More for family though.

    I have FB to keep in touch with family & friends back east...but for the most part, and I've said this before, MFP is my FB Witness Protection Program :bigsmile:

    I don't have FB. I stay in contact with skype

    Anyway, who needs FB when you have MFP :wink:

    I have it, and it has not used all that much for the most part, but I have been a little active on it recently. There are some good stories that come into my feed from interest related pages.

    I tend to FB several times a day, but mostly looking for funny pics and memes. Also have a little YouTube channel I run as a hobby

    FB is for attention *kitten* and the white knights, and others who want to feed the attention *kitten*.

    I have never joined. I've never regretted that. My family and friends like to complain about being "addicted" and how inconvenient it is to have to call or email me.

    Twitter mainly as a news portal. I get all my great news / fitness / science / (insert other interesting topic here) articles through it. I keep Facebook to just to see pictures of my family but even that has recently become pointless for utterly stupid reasons. I barely use it these days. I haven't spoken to 95% of my 'friends' on there in years, therefore... not friends, just people I used to know.

    Kinda over it. Too much negativity, mfp is better.(:

    I loved Facebook and was on it all the time as an undergrad in college, but once I hit grad school, that changed dramatically. I went from checking it 3-4 times a day to 2-3 times a month. I like mfp better than fb , and I think Twitter is silly (at least for now, until someone proves me wrong).

    When I feel like being nosy, I'll go on fb, but that's about it.

    Nay!!! Never had it, and I never will. Don't need or care to reconnect or find anybody. My life is full already, and I have e-mail, telephone, and Skype to keep in touch with friends and family.

    I spend enough (and too much) time in this database, I don't need anymore drama or time consuming activity (my own fault), in my life.

    Non FB here. I'm already on here and going to college online so I don't feel the need to hang on the computer any more than this. :ohwell:

    This. I left 6 months ago and don't miss it. Had to log on last week to get a family member's new address-made me remember why I left to begin with. Deactivated and don't plan on ever going back.
