Facebook went down the shitter ages ago. I'm still on it, but I use it less and less.

As for Facebook, yeah I have an account, but I haven't touched it since I created it. I just don't see the point in it.

I only use Facebook because the people I know stooped using Myspace. The info on mine is correct to a point. Most of the info there is made up like religious preference I have "In a van down by the river"

I have a profile that I never check. My status or whatever you call it basically says "don't bother with this because I sure don't." It seems anyone I know that knows anything of computers or tech has zero to do with the social networking sites, whereas EVERYONE I know that can't figure out what to do with an address bar and a URL is addicted to facebook, twitter, and/or previously myspace.

I personally don't see the point, after all, I have you guys! :hug:

That is true. I'm not sure of the exact cause, but maybe they just don't know what else to do with a computer. Or that they don't understand the privacy issues involved ?

People have invited me to myspace, facebook, twitter, etc. But I don't care for them. I may have made an account on one of them at one point, but I forgot about it, I think I used it once and never put any info into it at all. I'm just not into giving personal info and pictures away on the net. You never know who might be watching...
