Anyone on Facebook?

I noticed an article about Facebook yesterday where it's value and profits have sunk, with a comment from Rupert Murdoch about buying MySpace and the next target might be FB
which you might have seen

The figures show FB's own particular recession
Strange that it was briefly unavailable
which led me to a reason to celebrate which I'll mention later

I was surprised to be initially referred to it years ago.

Many people I know might see it as unreal and valueless
Flocking like a herd that's desperate
People without their own mind, who'd walk into any big store and easily persuaded to buy something they don't need or can't afford

The best people I know are those with the will to say 'no' like me

FB has become important to me to track the progress of people I knew, and I might not meet again, where I'm and the bottom of the heap. It does bring a tear of envy and respect for them.

The photos. Contributions. Any events published as a reason to meet.

What this meant to me: those who all flocked to buy their special, shiny, floppy-flappy flippy-lappy-toppy, and a new beautiful one every month, new tellyfone with no idea what these things do or how they work, as a new shiny car. Whoops! They dropped the lappy in the bath. Time for a new one.The only use for a lappy is the FB website. There is nothing else. Their world. Browser games. For the homeless.

How people would survive without the FB umbilical cord.

My fantasy apocalyptic world if our sun died, or there was no more oil, no more food. Some random nuclear falldown accident. Death. I look forward to any scenario where any person's desperation began internationally... tsunami... disease. If no more FB. I feel the one with more reserves available than most peoples' marriage and essential material possessions. Wake up calls are my history of loss

Because I was shown my own death more than once.

The chance to survive before death, armed with a crowbar, and to have someone beside me

I'm on Facebook. It began mostly as a way to follow my favorite news channel but I have since reconnected with a lot of friends and relatives I hadn't heard from in years.

I am on it but I don't trust it and am seriously considering deleting my profile. I only have 5 friends on it and I still feel like that's too many. My profile has a lot of disinformation on it but I'm still paranoid because I used to share pictures with my mom and they're all still there.

There's no way in hell that I would let a random stranger look at pictures of my entire life and have access to my information, especially with the whole PRISM thing but also because I've seen the kinds of things that happen on 4chan where people end up being publicly exposed and mocked. I find it shocking that anyone in their right mind would even consider doing that... but I guess that a lot of younger people don't care about that kind of thing.

I have facebook but i don't use it much. I never post status or photos on it. All of my album are tagged photos anyway. But i don't want strangers to see it though

Don't Panic

I stick to people known in life - school (3), uni and random met publicly...
There's the option to meet strangers this way. My best way was with Skype. Really, this has allowed me to meet internationally, and hook up because we were both unemployed at the moment
Careful what you think of social media. Investigate everything (eg. bungee jumping) and use experience to learn

Finishing school, there was no internet.
There is a lot more to the internet than WWW, html, XML webpages and websites. Equivalent of milking the population for their money (shiny, glamourous portable telephones) and shiny colourful new cars and paying for telecommunication... PSTN, POTS telephones, IDSN, IDSN30 and television -->> all is about using humans' primary sense of vision. People make pretty things. Psychologist salespeople. I've grown to understand evolving telecomms
Piece of plastic in your hand. Clothes. Make-up. Adverts. Shiny screen.

Don't be fooled. Everyone falls into the trap of non-realism. Say 'NO' at your will

Being blanked by people I know in real life and after making friends with FB is cold and harsh.

Thinking of important girlfriends and losing connection is horrible. It means I am boring to anyone, and this word might go for employers as well. I have been exciting to people and made the laugh and be happy a long time ago. Not posting enough is a good indication of being boring. I'll go to any effort with anyone like I have done before

I closed my Facebook account the other day. I got fed up of people removing me from their friends list without any explanation and sometimes even blocking me. Plus I really want to make friends but barely anyone I've written to on Facebook wants more than a monthly status comment.
