inb4 Eltu.
Just sayin'.

On topic, I think facebook is a good thing when used for what it's meant to be used for - and not to compare "popularity" by comparing amount of friends.
I use it to just see what's going on, chat with friends I forgot I knew, and ofc those I remembered that I knew
Also fun to see your friends getting tagged in a photo all drunk..

About the security issues, they have to claim ownership of images or they risk getting sued.

Personally, I think FB is very bad...in a sense. First off, it's a HUGE waste of time. At least on ToS we have constructive discussions. Secondly, people post the most asinine things on there(it's almost as bad as twitter). Third, I don't care to be popular. Thus, people don't talk to me because I'm not always striving to boost my own ego. In fact, I often post things just to get reactions out of people. It seems like most people on FB are just stupid and looking desperately for attention. Fourth, I'm sick and tired of reading people's ignorant views on politics and, in my case, constantly pushing the ultra conservative agenda. Which, in and of itself, is severely ignorant and against most of the things I believe in.

Note, when I say "people", I'm speaking of the experiences I've had with my so called "friends". I'm not generalizing everyone that uses FB. So please don't get offended as I meant no offense. Maybe I just have particularly stupid "friends", though there are a few good people I know on there. But they, like me, hardly ever use FB.

What? *facepalms*

First of all, let me point this out to you. Not every discussion in the world has to be "constructive" and if it were, this world would be a very, very boring place. Why do have a problem with people having general discussions; talking about their lives, what's happening with them, recent events and often just joking around: not everybody has a taste for philosophy or environmental issues. I dont know what's gotten into your head that Facebook is wrong because people have conversations there.

Thanks.

You know that's horrible assumption to make. And if nobody on ToS wanted attention from others, there would be no posts, no threads, no activity. And Im not saying wanting attention is bad, I want your attention when you're reading this post, attention-seeking is good as long as how you go about getting attention is good, like planting a tree and telling the forum of your good deed or how you just got a new avatar collectible and you post of the forum to get its attention.

I use Facebook and I certainly dont think it's bad and Im even more certain that Im not stupid and neither are my friends on it.

Dreaming of Pandora, you've clearly disregarded the most important part of my post.

You must have some stupid friends because my friends don't post meaningless garbage on Facebook lol. The website itself doesn't make itself bad people make it bad. The people I know are smart intelligent people and don't "waste" time on Facebook. I'm sure a lot of people think I "waste" time on TOS because of the fact that its a Forum. Thats stereotyping the website like I see you doing Josie. Like you said we have great people here on tos which makes this website great. Well if you have great people on facebook that makes facebook great. Get it? lol If we didnt have the great people we do here then this website would just be pixels and html. Facebook isn't bad its how you use it that makes it "bad"

Heh, yeah I get it. Of course facebook isn't bad, itself. That's why I said, "in a sense." Like you say, people make it bad. But yeah, my above post was just venting frustration. If you, or anyone else, enjoys facebook, then I'm happy for you. Don't let me impede your enjoyment. I've just had bad experiences and no longer enjoy it.

So, if you do enjoy facebook, disregard what I posted, as I was just venting.

Lol I just think its really silly to see people get to angry and frustrated when people have a facebook. I bet if I started using Myyearbook.com instead of facebook people wouldnt care just because its not facebook or myspace. Another thing that I think is silly when people avoid certain things just because it's popular. Hello its popular for a reason because its something that a lot of people like and think is great.I'm just confused with peoples hatred against facebook because its just a website...who cares if you spend a couple hours on facebook. Its better then going out and robbing a bank rofl. Better than going out and doing drugs or something. We all "waste" time how we do it doesn't really matter. Some people "waste" time playing video games or "waste" time watching tv. So who cares? lol

I just recently joined Facebook to keep in touch with old friends. I am aware that it is a large website and many people go on it, so I keep most of my personal information to myself. For the most part, all I do is talk to friends and post funny videos.

Facebook and Twitter are great tools for companies, websites, and bloggers. It allows people to stay in touch with whoever they're following. Many people on YouTube use Facebook and Twitter to keep their viewers updated with the latest information. It works wonders for them.

Totally. I just recently started blogging and using youtube and I've noticed how effective using things like Facebook can be.
