Just thought I'd start this thread after threatening to do so earlier this week. Apparently 1 billion people now log on to this site EVERY BLOODY DAY-see link below courtesy of BBC
That people are unable to function properly before "checking their status" even before getting out of bed in the morning is something that truly eludes me,but I'm sure I'm not alone when saying that we all know people like that. Do we really want to know(or worse,see) that: You're having a drink?Meal?In a pub?On a beach?Vomiting,after a heavy night on the pop?Or any of the other countless,insignificant,minute by minute accounts of their(obviously)meaningless lives?
If this sounds like a rant,it bloody well is! Facebook has a billion users in a single day, says Mark Zuckerberg www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-34082393 |

Whilst I get what you're saying, it does do some good. Earlier this year I found my dad whom I'd never met through Facebook. Also a whole host of family I never knew even existed. So I kinda like it! As a few of them live in the States including my dad, it's pretty handy for keeping in touch on a daily basis.

Most of the stuff on FB is pathetic. I hate it. |

Yeah, I only joined it in April. I had a hunch about how to find him as I only had a name and the street he used to live on in Dublin. It was enough!

Two years Facebookless and very pleased. It was great for family having all of my family back in Europe, but I found even family grows apart. Don't really miss it.
I do enjoy snapchat, take the funny bits of the daily life and share it with those who actually do give a shit.

Apparently, if you put your location as Newcastle on Facebook, you get a 'like' button after every word.  |

I'm not a fan, I had one for about four months. Deleted it, never went back. I'm glad we're getting to a point where people no longer have a look of shock and horror when you tell them you don't have one.

The only thing I hate on facebook more than liverpool is people that are expecting a child and then people who have just had a child, I don't need to see bump progress, baby room pictures and then pictures of babys first burp, babys first breath, babys first shit.... fuck off

2bh I post exactly the same stuff on there as I do on here. Pretty.much ripping the shit out of the scum.
If I wanted people to know what I was doing, when and who I was doing I with I'd tell them.
Nothing against people putting family stuff on there, trip photos, days out etc. But the photo's of peoples food and the need for social acceptance by putting shit on there to attract sympathy or attention does annoy me.
If somebody has pissed you off have the balls to speak to them about it instead of putting it up there because you know people will say "aww what's wrong"...then never intend on replying to it. See that way too much on mine.

Been on Facebook for years. I am in a United site in there and it's nice taking the piss out of the bin dippers, Chelscum and the rest. The only people that can see my wall is my friends and no one else. I prefer Facebook than Twitter plus the Official Manchester United has a forum in there which I am a member. If they are in Facebook then that will do me fine plus I have met people in there who were friends years ago army ect. I find it quite handy but don't get involved with a lot of the shite things that are posted. If I do not like someones posts then all I do is click a button and I don't get any more of the shite they post.

Living 12,000 kms away from family and many friends, I find FB a godsend. I have annoying relo's that report every cup of tea and "cheeky" this, that, or whatever they are eating, but I simply ignore them. Seeing my nephews, nieces, etc, growing up and receiving regular updates on family happenings far out weighs the shit, in my opinion..

I have family still in aussie land, a brother, 3 sisters and me and the wife are great, great grandfather and mother to a lot of them many times over and they communicate all the time by PM's or even Skype. As I said, if anybody posts shite on my wall then I click a button and get them knocked off from posting on my wall. |
