It's also cool knowing that if I meet someone cool even once, and they're on Facebook, I can stay in touch with them for a while even if they don't become a close friend. It allows a much wider range of acquaintances to stay in touch with, because there are people who I may have some things in common with but aren't really close enough to pick up a phone and call without awkwardness. Facebook solves that.

I find that to be untrue for me. I've added some people that I only met once and all I've ever had were awkward conversations with them.

It's really helped me keep in touch with three people, but that's about it.

MySpace has been good for listening to music from bands and getting information on when they tour.

Twitter has been even less useful, but I was able to follow a cat on twitter, so that's pretty awesome.
 
Facebook and Twitter, but I'm actually kind of abandoning both.

Let's say I just got tired of people trying to tell, all day long, how everything they are doing and thinking is interesting.
 
Status Update : "I am now eating a salad and have put some pepper on it.."

Fascinating

That's precisely what I meant. Who cares about such things?

Besides that, people get more and more virtual, instead of real living. I remember a weekend when a friend of mine went to the beach - and suddenly, I'm checking my facebook account, and he starts posting pictures of the beach! Something like "the beach", "my feet at the beach", "the waves on the beach"... God damn it, you are at the beach, go into the water and leave that iPhone turned off!!!
 
Facebook - extended family, some friends, including some fellow JUBers.

Recently signed up for Twitter, more to see what family was up to, and found some interesting news threads, have a couple threads that would fall more in the entertainment category. Surprised at the search engines and people who all of a sudden followed me because I was promoting my town to a college musician who's on You tube and pretty damned good.
WHAM BAM, our local non-profit business enterprise tagged me, as did a marketing firm, and one of the local colleges.

Can be scary - but a hard reminder that it's a massively open/public entity.

JUB is a lot of my social networking.
 
I use none of the above. I believe all of those sites are pathetic and the users that use them (besides celebrities) are internally sad and are exhausting attention seeker. Ive seen people who "follow" or have thousands of "friends"people of whom ive never know them to have nor have i ever seen or hear them speak of them in reality.

I have a solid foundation of friends that have been nurtured and reinforced through the years--to this day i can truly call them FRIENDS. However, this dose not mean i have to speak to them every hour of every moment of their day. Nothing is more enjoying then texting (or better yet, CALL them) someone you know at times during the day, maybe not even speak to them for a day, possibly two. Then calling them up to come over to your house, or you guys have lunch, go out some where--meet up in general. And venting and going on about lifes shit and whats to come for them in the future. Even having them come over to your place to spend some time. But this while social networking thing is just--sad.
 
Sorry you feel that everyone who uses one of the sites are internally sad etc.

As I said, I use it mainly with family - both semi-near and far - and cousins kids whom I've never had a chance to really get to know due to distance- we've played on some of the games, shared info on what's going on in our part of the family tree, etc. I get to see their kids pics, know what's happening with them w/out invading their lives. An occasional IM now and again for more personal interaction.

The forums, like JUB, are what you make out of them. Some good, some not so good, but overall, they help.
 
So you don't use social networking sites to talk to your real world friends online when you can't see them?
No.

I see most of my friends face-to-face a few times per week, and I chat with my close friends on the phone every day.

But then I'm incredibly old; when I grew up we didn't even have a phone at home so all of my personal intercourse with friends involved actually being in their presence.
 
I don't use any. They don't appeal to me at all. I get Facebook invites from time to time but I just don't get the appeal. I also hate texting and don't do that either. When people text me, I ask them not to do it anymore. If I want to communicate with someone, I simply call them.

Depends on what war you are talking about.
Post WWII and Korea.

Lived thru Viet Nam on the 6 O'Clock news as a teen.

I know you weren't asking me - but I'm in the "older" category, and I do use some of the above.

I've even started texting w/ my phone because my kids do.
And there are folks a lot older than me on here.
