Facebook- Good Or Bad? - Tree of Souls

Rainbowhawk1993 · #1 07-15-2010, 04:46 PM

I learned from Time Magazine that Facebook had over 500 million users and is the most popular online community site. But, I think it's too popular. Facebook is said to sell people's information and privicy is becoming an issue. Not only that, but people are spending hours and hours on Facebook and not doing anything else. I read in Time Magizine that one person interviewed spends an average of 4 hours on Facebook a day and another person interviewed said if Facebook disappered, it would be like the sky without stars. I just find that disturbing that they would admire it so much that their life would flop if it was gone. From where I stand, I think Facebook is fine for a chating sight, but in modoration.

People are spending hours and hours on TOS. lol...Facebook is just a website. Theres hundreds of other social community websites lol. I admit I do like to spend quiet a bit of time on Facebook but I dont obsess over it. I use it like its suposed to be used. To talk to my friends. Which doesn't sound like a bad thing to me lol.

I don't have a Facebook acount. But I think Facebook is ok if it's used in moderation as I said before. I don't obsess over my Tos acount. If the Internet crashed right now and tree of souls was gone, I would just resume life without it.

So what? It's not for you to decide whether someone has spent too long on Facebook. And so what if it's popular. And how exactly can it be 'too popular'?

Oh and that privacy issue is only a problem for people stupid enough to leave that information insecure.

They have a horrible track record on security measures. And have a history of, how shall I say it, "abusing" certain information posted there.

According to their ToS, anything you post there becomes there's, artwork or other items that are your intellectual property instantly becomes theirs.

I am on facebook, mainly to keep in touch with family and friends that I never would be able to keep in touch with. I occasionally write something on my wall but I am very careful what I put on my profile, especially what I talk about. Its strange but I have opened up much more on TOS than I ever have on FB and that is due to my family members being on there. I don't want to start any drama in the family since we seem to have enough of it already

. The only other thing that I do on FB is play bejeweled and take some of the quizes.

'Welcome to Facebook!'

Ewww......

Yeah, I use facebook just to keep up with whats going on with my friends. I may get on it once or twice a week just to see whats up. I used to be on it about half an hour every day but since I'm not that popular, no one talks to me on there so I really don't get on it much.

**Helicoradian** · #9 07-16-2010, 01:35 AM

I had to make a facebook account because I wanted to see what was going on with a couple of old friends. Otherwise I don't care to much for it.

I DON'T WANNA! WAAAAAA!

Ahem.

I choose not to open a facebook accout because I don't have many friends and pluse I don't feel chaty enough to take about random crap. I chose to have an accout here because everyone here has one thing in common: We love Avatar. Plus when we talk about other stuff, the opinons of many users are surpisinly simular to what I think about the subjects. and most importaintly, the users here cannot post crap here.

To much time are spend on that, a lot of my friends are on it and there always a :"o wait a couple of min I'll check my facebook" Come on.

I was thinking that I was the only one on heart to not be on that thing (enlarged) and I realized that I have a couple of friends who are still on my side, who defend the none facebook party.

the people on facebook just use it too much as if it is a prority in their lives. As I said when I posted this thread, if the internet crashed right now, I would be unchanged and live without social online networks.

I'm thinking of creating a non-facebook social group if someone could make a photoshop image of a red X across the facebook icon
