Social Networking
 

I am torn on how I feel about social networking... I do have an fb page I have a myspace but I haven't been to it in a very long time... (maybe I should check it)

but why I am torn is because I do not like getting silly things on my page... or advertisements.. and this has happened before...

at the same time it can be very helpful...

so yeah that is my opinion

No to FB
 

Not a social networker. My girlfriend has a FB page but forgets to post most of the time. I think she loved it for about 2 weeks then got bored with it. At least I haven't heard about it in a while. Maybe she's secretly posting to it and I don't know. :confused: Rufus

I guess that I don't understand putting a lot of personal information (including my real name and location) out on the internet for everyone in the world to read. Plus, there's the time thing. I have barely enough time in a day to get through here and my news web sites, I can't imagine where one finds the hours to socially network in different places. It's 5 PM on a Sunday, I'm watching football *insert football smilie here*, working :pcthink:, doing laundry :laundryday:, writing this post :computer:, and figuring out what to have for dinner :cooking: pretty much all at once. I'm tapped :help:

I looked up this Farm Town thing in wikipedia; add that to the list of things that I don't get :confused:

I am a farmville and mafia addict. i have found many people from my past on fb. i dont drama with myspace anymore, too many toddlers. i twitter all day long.

I am on FB and I do have my space page , but I don't go to my space at all .. I simply don't have time to be looking for pictures and posting them on other people pages . I like FB , because there I have real friends and family from my home and other countries where I lived .

When I get home from work I really don't feel like to have any serious interaction at all . I need to relax and FB it's good for it . I am in my bed on laptop not in office , I am watching a news and click on facebook to see if my friends are OK or need some support .

As for people on Facebook that have a need to post when they eating , taking showers and every movement in they life it's annoying and I ignore that .

I am not concerned about my privacy , because with Internet these days we have none anyway . If someone wants to find me or something about me they will. They don't say that Zaba Search it's like Google on steroids for nothing .

never heard of zaba search... but I am going to have to look it up if it is better then google... hmmm

Facebook addict here.. '

i adore facebook!! myspace is dead. twitter seems dumb to me but i know a lot of folks like it. also ... i am one of those dinosaurs who still uses LiveJournal!!

oh, and i am a game freak on FB ... Mafia Wars, Prison Lockdown, Farm Town, Fish World, Pirates and Castle Age!! :D

With a name like Farm Town how can you resist... ;) heh.
.................................................. .

I myself do have a MySpace and FB but am also reminded now and again how ironic it is for a introverted misantropist (again love/hate really ;)) reclusive artist type to be "social networking".

So yes I do it, like it, but I'm just not very good at it... lol

I never liked myspace. The pages were too messy and over-filled with disorganized information and music I don't want to hear. I never signed up for that one.

I do have FB, and I mostly log in to keep up with what's going on with my friends there.

i like fb more so because i can control privacy. im all about keeping my business to myself.

Lazy Facebooker here.

My little blue pond is polluted, my plants are withered, and my fairies flew away.

I love love love how you said this. Because as true as I'm sitting here, if there were no computers, I've likely be classified as a hermit. I'm not sure that I'm a misanthrope, I'm just painfully shy (most don't know this about me at all because I don't present that way)

My goodness....I began thinking just how MANY networking sites there are.....and how I think I have tried so many!

~LJ (don't use anymore)
~MySpace (rarely use anymore)
~Twitter (never....I laugh everytime I hear the word "Twitter" or "Tweet")
~BF (phasing out by the end of the year)
~LinkedIn (I think that's what it's called.....rarely)
~FB (every day....and my puppy has an account, too.....she's addicted to FarmTown)
~Plaxo (rarely)
~MyClassmates.com (because I'm back in my hometown)

....and of course.....


~FBP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My new favorite place to be!!! I love it here!



~Diva :musicnote:

I use Facebook regularly, don't sign on to Myspace much anymore (except today cause I wanted to see who's sent me messages) but do keep up with folks who update regularly on LiveJournal (but I don't update there myself).

My frustrations with Myspace came when I couldn't figure out how to remove Tom from the Activity Stream. I don't give two shits what he is listening to cause it's not my genre of music or contests that I don't want to be a part of. OH AND....people who flood the Message Board with their adverts several times in one hour about shows, gigs, stupid surveys and such as well as phony missing child alerts.

Some folks *coughRhoncough* I still enjoy reading about on LJ because they use it on a regular basis and there are groups I'm on that keep me updated about things that I don't see on MS or FB.

I think its all silly stuff.
