Never registered on it, never will.  Bag o' shite.  Millions of adults with perfectly good social skills, allowing the long-standing healthy way in which they interact with friends and present themselves to the world, to be insidiously amended to mirror that of the nerdy, maladjusted children who designed it.

 

Like taking cues on how to dress yourself from C-3PO.

I've got to say I'm a cunt and a total self obsessed wanker and I love Facebook. I love knowing that I can force people to read about everything I'm doing, like shopping for milk inn tesco or commenti

Ive picked up quite a bit of work through FB, I find it useful. It saves money on running a website.

 

It also keeps me in the loop with family. No letters or expensive ph calls required.

More than anything else, I use it to connect with community groups, which has been really helpful.

 

Not so much into the 'look at me!' aspect of it.

 

I use it to share pics of the kids with relatives, mostly. Beats the hell out of emailing them all the time.

 

Fair do's.  As with most things there are obviously degrees, I can see how people use it to keep in touch with friends/family who live abroad, use it as a networking device for work, etc.  It's the daily dribble of pointless status updates I'm forever being advised of by wor lass and when in company, and the indiscriminate sharing of pictures with anyone they've ever met which baffles me.  I find out more about friends second and third hand due to that these days, and vice versa.

 

When I was a kid we used to have a big sideboard as I imagine many families of that era did, with all the birth certificates, family photos, etc in.  To me you might as well have taken that up to the pub and hoyed it out for anyone who fancied to come and have a fish through.

 

This has been like a failed Room 101 effort to be fair.  I'm just going to have to put myself in.

Complaining about something you've never used of been on. Well done. You've become one of THOSE people.

 

What's that, a smug cunt who raises his oh-so-arch eyebrow at things he's not interested in?

 

Appreciate you welcoming me into the fold like this.

What's more interesting than criticism of Facebook is sensitivity to criticism of Facebook.

Not a sensitivity, just always find it odd when people moan about things like Facebook when it clearly works for other people, and they claim to have never used it. How can you judge something like Facebook when you've never used it? Same applies to twitter. I think people feel some level of superiority because they claim not to use it. When in truth it doesn't matter.

 

I think people complaining about it when they've never used it are pretty much as daft as the people who feel the need to tell everyone they're leaving it because it's taking over their lives. It's social media. It really isn't that important either way whether you're on it or not.
