Is anybody on FaceBook?

Facebook is a mixed bag. I love it, because I can stay in touch with friends I might not hear from otherwise. But, it is also the way I found out my boyfriend was cheating on me. Some dude was he having a "NSA" relationship with posted a bunch of pictures of them out. *face palm*

Facebook sucks because it tries to get into EVERYTHING you do. I can't even buy a leaf blower without a link asking if I want to automatically post it on Facebook. Some websites won't allow you to create an account without your Facebook ID. Many websites auto post what you do unless you LOOK for the settings to disable it.

Last time I bought some lube, you guessed it..... NO! I don't want to post that on my wall!! :eek:

I went to eat with a friend of mine.... 20 minutes later there was a Facebook post where we ate because it automatically geotagged HIS phone.

Get out of my fucking life!

I used it to find 2 friends, and that's about it. Closed it since, as I posted before. Facebook sounds wonderful on the surface, but it gives too many entities access to your private lives. People know when you are on vacation, where you live, and what to steal from you when you are gone. Many people never use the privacy settings.

As to keeping in touch with people.... what suddenly happened to email, texting, and god forbid.... CALLING?? :rolleyes:

If Facebook didn't crawl up your ass, I wouldn't mind using it. But anyone can find out anything about you. The NSA must LOVE it. Until congress HAD to make the practice illegal, your future employer could ask you for your Facebook ID to "check you out".

There is a point when something becomes too invasive, and eventually in a BAD way.
Facebook is on it's way. Enjoy the ride.

People keep saying Facebook fucking sucks but they won't say why it fucking sucks.

I like it because I can keep in contact with my cousins. I have 73 of them scattered all over the country.

Yup. When I hear "why" people dislike facebook, it always seems to fall into one of two categories

1) I have no self control and I add absolutely everyone, including people I don't want to be bothered by or I don't want to interact with or I don't want to hear from

2) I don't know that Facebook has privacy and security settings.

I've never heard anything said about Facebook which has encouraged me to want to join. I'm sure that if I wanted to keep in touch with distant cousins and let them know every time I had a satisfactory bowel movement, it would do just fine. But I don't.

That's more Twitter, imho, and I am annoyed by people who "use Facebook like twitter"--- "just had a great milkshake", etc. But you can just hit a little button next to that person's post and click an option so that none of their updates will appear on your wall. Voila. Never get twitter updates from that person again unless you go look for them on their profile.
 
Yes, I'm on Facebook.
No, I won't add you.

There are a few JUBbers who have been "befriended" on Facebook. These are people who I've gotten to know over the years, and feel comfortable with. I reveal different aspects of my personality on JUB than I do on FB, so I insist on feeling more comfortable with people here before opening up that venue.

Why am I on Facebook? One - it's an important platform for my work. And two - I found early on that Facebook can, if you so desire, be nothing but an unending stream of straight lines. Facebook is a sometimes ugly, sometimes weird, sometimes fascinating insight into people in general, and it's often a rich vein for humor. :)

Whenever anything remotely 'big' or 'controversial' is going on in real life, Facebook is also a completely invaluable tool both for separating the smart from the stupid, and for getting some insight into the stupid and how it thinks.

Or, to put it another way, separating the "I'm still pondering what my position is" and the "I found this clever meme online, and this is now my position".

I don't usually subscribe to conspiracy theories, but if you think about it, the government could easily use someone's Facebook account to keep tabs on that person. Through your Facebook, they'd be able to know who your friends are, what your interests are, what places you go to, and the like. In fact, I think Facebook even has a "check-in" feature which lets people know where you are at the moment. It's creepy in a sense.

The one thing I really hate about Facebook is that when you post a comment on a fan page, your comment appears on your friends' newsfeed. WTF? What if I posted something that I DON'T want my friends to read?

I agree check-ins are creepy. I've always said it would be a great tool for a serial killer or someone who wants to rob or murder you to use. Of course, if you have possible serial killers or murderers or drug addicts who want to rob you in your facebook list, the problem goes beyond facebook. But people do the check-ins for these utterly stupid reasons like they want to be the Mayor of Yogurtland or whatever. I just refuse to do them or to let others do them for me.

Well, that's the entire point of Facebook, from a commercial sense. It gives companies a wealth of information on people's habits and likes and whatnot. As the saying goes "If you're getting everything for free, you're not the consumer - you're the product."

They're probably all going to that Furries Anonymous website or whatever instead. ;)

We're not ALL anonymous. But I'll have to see if we have room for sharks.

one thing about facebook that still freaks me out. I opened up a new email account last year and the next day I get an email from facebook asking me if I wanted to re-activate my account. I did it wondering if I had a forgotten account in there but no not me, it was someone completely different, but with the same name. so I immediately de-activated it and informed facebook about the error.

every couple of months I get that same email.

creepy

This. It's the only place I can talk to certain family/friends because they don't use other media that I use and vice versa.
