Made an account in the summer of '08 haven't touched it since. I just don't like having all those people I don't know or like from school (I'm 15) trying to add me as a friend.
Have facebook, dont see why people can be on it so much, theres nothing to do all the games and apps suck. people are like o u can talk to people, uhh thats why i have MSN hell even on steam i can do that and outher programs or even e-mail. I honestly dont see how people can enjoy it and actualy use it for anything when it all can be done with outher things
I have Facebook and about 100 friends. I want no more, I add no more. I'll usually accept a friend request from someone who I don't know and delete them two days later so I don't get any more requests. I have Facebook for event invitations and seeing what's going on. I haven't posted a status since early 2010 and I don't intend to break that although I will occasionally comment or like something. Chat is also a no go for me, too many people I don't want to talk to will talk to me.
There's very little on Facebook for me, but I have it just in case.

You kind of need Facebook when you go to college, to keep in touch with High School friends.
Just don't friend your parents, I keep a very small friend list of a dozen or so.

I'll only use it once in a blue moon, if I cna help it. The only reason I have it is because I have mates from other countries, and time zone difference makes it hard to get in contact.
This is a common argument, but think for a minute what you just said. Yes, there are plenty of programs that you can use for instant messaging, but not everyone has those programs. For example, very few of my friends have a steam account, and I can't expect them to get an account and buy a game just to talk to me over the service. Similarly, I have yahoo for my primary email account, and so do some of my friends, but others have G-mail, Hotmail, accounts provided by their ISP, and even AOL accounts. Should I make an account with each of those services just so I can talk to all of them, and expect them to do the same? Not when there's a much easier way. The fact that almost everyone has Facebook makes it the standard IM platform. The beauty of it isn't that you can talk to your friends over the internet so much as it is that you can talk to all of them through one account.stormcrow5 said:
I use Facebook, I enjoy keeping in touch with family and friends. Sounds to me like your problem isn't with Facebook, it's with the people you're friends with.
I block the updates from games and such, I ignore invite, and when I post I could care less if my Parents post (which they usually don't). For me it works great.
Twitter also, but I use that to make friends online. Facebook's only for people I actually know.

Dear OP you are just doing it wrong and so deserve to suffer.
You add only people you know and like and want that they see what you are posting. the only family member i added was my brother. If your parents want you to add you, either be honest and tell them that you don't want to, if they think you hate them then, then they are probably stupid. Or start a second fake page for them.
i got around 50 people on FB, all of them i know and like and see regularly. I broke one rule of social networking and added some co-workers as well as my 2 bosses. But thats just because we are good friends for years and just now work together as a team. Just to tell you before you add your boss as well, don't.

I have an account, there is nothing there, not even my real name. Just used it to find a couple old friends nothing else about the service even interests me. Personally I don't want to be found that easily... It would just mean having to deal with people that I probably don't want to deal with anyway.
The whole "I have more friends" attitude that seems to be the basis of sites like that just doesn't sit well with me either. All the requests from people that I have nothing in common with just so they can have more friends is just ridiculous.

Nope. I barely used it when I had one, but I decided to get rid of it after watching the South Park episode. It just reminded me how useless it was and that there was no reason to keep it.
I hate it, I have it, but I hate the fact that it absolutely dominates people's social lives.
It's a necessary evil, but only because we made it so.

My second aunt has told me to watch what I say on Facebook.
She is also not aware how dry my sense of humour is.
I have had one of my uncles on my grandmother's side of the family say that they look up my statuses because they are usually hilarious. Which I was flattered with. Yet he did not enjoy it when I wrote a status saying that he is now my creepy uncle. and he was sadden by the fact that I called him Uncle considering for all my life I have called him by his actual name.
I have the rare occurrences when my family members ask about what I post but it is usually not that big of a deal. and my parents do not have facebook because their reason is "If I spend all day on the computer at my job why the hell would I do it with my free time?"
