What do you think of facebook?

[holepunch]

I think its horrid.

Everyone says 'ah, i use it to keep in touch with my friends and relatives!'

But it takes no effort to poke or send a 1 line message. i dont feel honoured if someone happened to be browsing profiles and send me a one liner 'how r u'. im much more happy if someone decides to telephone, or visit.

in my view, facebook it cheapens communication. you dont need to ask how someone is, theyve told you on their status message. most people just use it as an excuse to post pics of their nights out....'look how drunk i was'. Yuck.

And dont get me started on people who have 500 'friends'!

So after a month, I deleted my account. And before anyone asks, yes I do have a healthy social network, i just choose to keep it 'real'.

I doubt its political, they use your information so they can sell ad space.

the world survived before facebook well enough, i dont think its essential to our existence. its just another site. i dont mind if other people like it, i just hate the way people think its the ONLY way to share pics, or message others, and so on.
