Fb is way better then this site!

Never had an account and never will. If I want to stay in contact with a friend that is what my cell phone is for. Either I call or text them.

If it was a friend a long time ago, if I have not talked to them in years, or say HS like 20 yrs ago, I have no need to look them up and talk to them on facebook.

before cell phones you would be the one to say, if i wanted to talk to a friend i would go to their house.. hahah i think its funny actually

not having one doesnt make you cool, its a new type of communication, social networking is the future gramps

I remember way back in 2003, I was a freshman in college and Facebook was was already established but by no means a household name. Not only did you have to have a university email to register, but only certain universities were even recognized. In fact, it was geared towards study groups and contacting people in your classes for the purpose of sharing notes and not at all geared towards finding old friends. Initially, when you signed up you would enter in your semester schedule and it would automatically show you who all was in your class.

And then they added more universities... then junior colleges... then high schools... then everyone. Each time a new "group" of people were allowed to sign up you had a new wave of "Have you ever heard of Facebook"

I've found the progression more interesting than the site itself. I dropped my account about a year before I graduated to avoid potential employers from seeing pictures of me getting tossed on Northgate. I actually got caught screwing around on a girlfriend when she saw another girls email auto-saved on my computer when she went to login.

I had another friend that flunked out of school, she went to her adviser to beg for readmission. She fed the adviser a sob story about having to work too much to study. The adviser printed out pictures of her playing Edward 40 hands, and asked her if she had to work so much then why did she have time to party. lol

I think it is funny how some think that posting "I don't have one, nor care to...etc etc" somehow makes them part of a non-conformist elitist crowd.

People hated the idea of horseless carriages. People hated the idea of telegraphs. People hated the idea of telephones. People hated the idea short-wave radios. People hated the idea of cell phones. People will hate the idea of the next wave of communication.

I'll admit that I spend way too much time checking facebook. Just like I do here. Damned internet.

I haven't had time to get on much, but it's a nice way to keep in touch with peeps back home. Well that and Skype.

Obviously there are a LOT more people on it than readily admit it.

I've got an account. I used it to look up the family name and location of the original owner of my '57 Chrysler. How random is that.

But what's funny is I now have 32 friend requests even though I haven't logged on. Denny will like this one - Tracy Alderman sent me a friend request, lol!!

You need to approve me, asshole. I'm the coolest fucking person you know.

I "Like" it!

That graphic reminds me of the Van Halen video, RIGHT NOW.

Got rid of mine. Too much bullshit.

I haven't logged on since I dated a chick and she brought up some other chick on my FB, and was all "you know her? Did yall date? She's a bitch! How do you know her?" blah blah blah. Having all that info out there is pointless, I'll remain a mystery man, it works out much better.

I have one and some days its a real pain in the ass. Other days its a great tool for finding people. I've used it several times to contact people that wrote us hot checks. They don't want others to see the shit so they tend to take care of it right away.

Hmmmmm.... I like the way you think.
