Facebook can be useful sometimes. I don't use the feature, but I have friends from Montreal who use it to organize social events. It's also handy for reconnecting with friends you haven't seen in a long time, or just keeping in touch with high school friends who are now scattered all over the world. :)

You must come from the center of the universe. None of my high school-mates have been outside Europe...except me, of course. Though that may say a lot more of my high school than facebook...

Yeah I have used FB to join and created events on a regular basis as well. The platform is quite entertaining but I hate it when my friends message me on there instead of texting or calling.

Not going to lie but I first signed up years old in order to appreciate some pretty ladies. I still do sometimes. ;)

There are just too many advertisements and Zynga games promotion that I don't like and takes up all the space you needed to contact with family and friends. I still don't have a Twitter account and I'm NOT planning to either. I hardly have time to check into all my emails, SDF, Facebook, let alone time for twittering.
 
Facebook can sometimes be ridiculously annoying when you are trying to make multiple new friends of the female variety... I hate it! I bet Equation knows what I am talking about...

Look like so many dislike on Facebook. Hehehe, Popeye, you are not alone. Would you guy consider quit Facebook?

What I hate the most is Facebook keep asking me for my real identity like phone number. I never gave it out!

No need to worry gentlemen Facebook IPO stock has gone down to 50% from it's initial $38/per share to now $19.38/share as of today. This will probably put an end to it's demise of personal info sharing to advertisers.

As much rants as there are, we all solemnly recognize what benefits Facebook have and does to bring the world closer together. Hundreds of millions are able to reconnect with their friends, organize things, share their life, their beliefs and lots more due to the thanks to Facebook. And as much as many people here may hate it, I see Facebook as a true beginning to the birth of a second identity of everyone, in an actual virtual world.
How we formerly leave our footprint in this world is through our DNA and our physical existence, Facebook is soon becoming of a second "official identity" of us and where friends know we can be reached. In a modern era, necessities include our wallet and our number, while government data and financial records define our registration within the political world, but these are not as life and vibrant as an actual Facebook identity or a virtual identity which defines us being connected to the information world. While not everyone is a fan or fanatic on that stuff, nonetheless it does bring many changes to the world already. Finally, complemented with the introduction of smartphones, smartphones are now our physical portals to the virtual world and our identity.

I had a friend who was out of the police academy looking for a job. She applied in one city and used my name as reference. I got a call from an officer and the questions soon came to drug use. I told the guy I have never known of her using drugs. The officer might have been pushing for the truth but he just couldn't believe anyone has never taken illegal or abused drugs. I have never taken drugs. Several of my friends I've known since childhood never mentioned abusing drugs. Probably this day and age it's hard to believe someone has not abused drugs. I wonder if the same pessimism would result if a potential employer asked for my Facebook information since I've never seen what Facebook is like beyond the first screen that says I have to be Facebook member to see this page.

Exactly.. The only time I look at facebook is to see some grandkids photos that my wife points out to me.

There's nothing wrong with using Facebook....or any social media.. I just don't use them...

Tricky question, I use a humourous reply that must start with:
"Of course do I take drugs!
I'm addicted to posting on forums, but only on a psychological level! I also do drink alcohol with hot females, have sex and smoke a cigarette afterwards and I really like going fast with my bicycle!"
