I want to start a fan page for James so he could technically have three. 
But yes I have one, that bug infected me quite some time ago.

I have two for a reason. One for friends, one for family. I mostly use the friends one. As far as I know, my family don't know about the other one.  Even then, this is only cousins and 2nd cousins.

Great post! :) I have one. It's useful, I get event invitations, get updates from family and friends, although I've probably hidden more than half of the people I've accepted as friends, so it's pretty sparse now. I do follow a number of bands, and it's nice to get updates from them. But, for the most part, I visit facebook to play chess against a high school buddy (that has been the one activity on facebook I do the most for the past 3 years). Oh, my home company has a facebook page as well. I actually update status' there. |
Two great posts 
Through FB, I keep in touch with friends in Australia, Newfoundland, Canada & if they're on the same time as me, we'll have a bit of a chat; I hate the Mafia Wars stuff, but I do play poker & bejewelled (and have to admit I do have a smallholding on Farmville, too  ) - great idea as has been said, but keep some of the personal stuff personal... one of my friends is my 21 year old neice & some of her photos...  I'm sure my sister hasn't seen any of those

My chat is usually switched off and I rarely look at my Events. Luckily most people don't want to converse with me, so it's all good.
However, it's a useful tool as many of my friends don't have credit on their 'phone or I don't have their number.

I know! Its bad enough no one ever actually talks on phones, forced me to get unlimited texting so I had to use it so much. Now that's useless! Phones are becoming obsolete I have so much contact with people through FB. Oh, and now Im gunna flood your wall James and leave you stalker box message constantly

I do but hardly use it now, and its pretty much just status updates (usually lyrics, being silly, or whatever is pissing me off in the news)
I got one the summer before my freshman year of college, back when you HAD to be in college (or needed a college email) and it was a college network. Year later it was opened to everyone and became this crap fest it is.

Nope, I don't really want to be bothered with having to check it. Email and texting works fine for me to keep in touch with people.
I spend enough time on the internet as it is

Facebook is great or crap depending 100% on your connections (the so called "Friends"). I've made an account with zero expectations and discovered it's an amazing communication tool for me.

No Twitter, no Facebook. I just don't want to put too much of myself on display anymore, so I try to avoid virtual showrooms. In fact, PA is enough of this for me.

Yes, I'm on Facebook. But I have zero interest in Farmville or Mobwars
zzzzz...
Some of the feeds from the 'Classic rock presents prog' group, contain good live clips, though.
