I don't do facebook or those other things mostly because I don't see any point to them. Maybe I'm obtuse.
Better watch it Bogs.....Tim Robbin's character in Shawshank Redemption got thrown in the hole for calling the warden "obtuse"!

Ah, but I'm not calling someone else obtuse, just questioning my own obtuse-ness :lol I have nothing to fear, I will not throw myself in the hole (cept for fun) :lol

Who knew a simple question of whether or not you guys use Facebook would generate this much feedback?

I use it and also set up a page for this site there, but I mostly post pics of the mud truck and stuff like that.
How do I access the Metro forum FB page?
The link is on the front page of the site ^o)

I play Farmville, Car Town, and Pot Farm on Facebook also.

I use facebook. I have no idea why, It's got it's uses and it's uselessness-es? I mainly use it for contacting friends, as I don't much use instant messaging anymore, that and I find amusement in posting pictures. I used to play Farmville but I was bored of that pretty quick, I'm not one for sitting at computer games.

I believe I have my privacy settings sufficiently set so I don't have to worry about too much of a leak of info. Besides, who in the world would want to know things about me anyway? :lol

I also will not "friend" any co-workers. That would create a problem. Additionally, I don't hang out with my co-workers. Just don't believe in it..

:gp

I'll second that. I work with a bunch of a-holes. And even if they were cool people, 40 hours a week is enough to spend with 1 group of people!

As for facebook, yeah I'm on there. I initially didn't like it too much, but it's a good place to casually stay in touch with folks you don't have anything against necessarily, but just don't go out of your way to spend time with. If that makes any sense.

I do Facebook also. Farmville, Frontierville pretty regular - better than staring at the boob tube I guess. My wife and I wanted to find some "game" we could share/play together. Keeping up with relatives, old high school classmates, old friends. Myspace - oh that's right I do have that but never on it.

hehehehehe Facebook... As my dad puts it - Fakebook... as I put it, FaceButt... or, if I'm refering to social sights in general, it is MyBook or FaceSpace...

I absolutely and positively do NOT use any of the above! Never! You will never catch me as a user on any such site, I will not personally post on someones wall, comment on a status or picture, or open a chat or dialogue with anyone using such a site... My two internet vices are eBay and various auto-forums... i can get my self into enough trouble just using those two things... I have personally been hurt by the open-ness of FaceSpace/MyBook/FaceButt, and I will defend my right to NEVER USE THE SITE(S) for ever.

As for the ability to keep some things private and other things open... I have witnessed this go awry (sp) often enough. FaceBook seems to keep the databases on some sort of aray - like a RAID (obviously)... and when they make a change to a LIVE AND ACTIVE DATABASE, it takes a while for the changes to replicate across the entire data network. When these changes are happening, things you post that you thought were private will become public, and people you thuoght were on your friends list will randomly be removed... this is because of an error in the data handling, and the RAID picks up bits and pieces of the database out of the other bits of the aray. Game scoring has been screwy, the secret friendships that others thought were secret suddenly weren't... (this preceeding paragraph has been my opinion, with no solid evidence to support it - other than my own observations of other's accounts).
