What is the purpose of Facebook and similar web sites? - FairyBlessed - 11-09-2012 06:52 PM
A friend invited me to join, I joined now that friend only communicates via facebook, we used to text and email, and phone each other.
What is the purpose of Facebook and similar web sites?

It's an experiment in social control!
Since everybody (almost) has access to the internet, those of us who have been foolish enough to lay bare our souls in such a forum are open to the abuses which go with such an act.
Employers are slowly cottoning on to this phenomenon, and may hire/fire dependent upon stuff they read.
As for me - I prefer to keep secrets. That's why none of you really know my real name!

its not written in stone But I belive most People use it as a dating site a place where they hope to meet with others offline for a little fun and games
tried to keep it as clean as possible.

So if your parents tell you to clean your room or won't buy you a new iPod, you can complain about it to the entire world.

facebook and myspace are social networking sites meant to bring people together who do not know each other personally but have same interests or affiliations (i.e. went to same high school/college)
unfortunately sometimes these sites take the place of actual physical contact with folks you do know in person. this is one of the fall backs of the internet in general.

It's all part of world order coming into play again so they can spy on us!
