Is it losing its appeal to everyone else as much as me?

 

When I first joined I added every man and his dog, people who I hadn't seen in years, people who were friends of friends etc.

 

About 6 months ago I got annoyed with having nosey c*nts on my facebook... so they had to go, the people who I hadn't seen for years.

 

Then that wasn't enough, so I deleted all the people who would be my facebook friend but not even say hello when they walked past in the street.

 

Now due to nosey c*nts, I have deleted everyone from my facebook apart from the people who are on my phonebook, with a couple of exceptions.

 

Why do so many people have hundreds of facebook friends? Surely if you haven't got their phone number, they are not your friend? So why fookin bother?

Its never been anything more than a popularity contest IMO. As is evident by your initial desire to add every f*cker you have ever met, and every f*cker they've met.

 

I dont give a sh*t what some chump from my primary school is doing these days. The people I would talk to on FB, are the people I see/speak to already, so as you say...why bother???

Never used it, never been on it. It is a policemans directory.

 

I know a copper who says his station employ 3 people full time to look through facecocx.

 

We used to have massive parties up on St. Catherine's hill near Winchester, and they would be set up on facebook. About an hour in, the police would turn up with dogs and search us all for drugs, and force us off the hill. Damn facebook.

 

I still quite like it though.

They had some 'nerds' (technical term) on Newsnight on Monday talking about the internet, and they agreed that social networking was, in fact, ruining the internet. This was because it was basically just everyone joining the same thing and conforming, there was no individuality - which is what makes the internet great.

 

The also agreed that the older generation actually use facebook for useful purposes, but the younger generation are idiots who get swallowed up by the conformity of it all.

 

That is about all I can add to this discussion, as I don't use the damn thing and never will.

When I first add anyone I could... it wasn't to be popular, it's because I was genuinely interested in what people where up to.

 

As soon as I got bored of that, which wasn't long, I started 'facebook culls'

 

Now, I am quite proud to say that literally all of my facebook friends are infact friends and ones which I have in my phone book... so Facebook is an alternative way of me communicating with these people as opposed to phone.... that's the way it should be.

i had a massive cull of facebook "friends" a couple of months ago, and then realised i hardly had any left:D

 

most of my real friends are not on facebook, thats what the pub and the golf club were invented for

 

down to about 13 now, and that includes wife and children, and most of them are their friends not mine

 

i dont see why i should have to "connect" with people when the only thing ive got in common with them is an internet connection

 

now linkedin, thats different. i am a linkedin addict

Facebook is good to keep in contact with all my friends from where I used to live, and likewise my friends from college who have gone off around the country to Uni.

 

It's also good to sort out things. My last three wall posts have been about a night out in town, the potential Saints v Pompey forums match, and ticket arrangements for the MK Dons game.

 

As one of the younger generation mentioned in bungle's post, I'd like to think I was more like the older generation and I use it for useful purposes.

 

Facebook has a lot of advantages for me.

I use it as a way of conveniently staying in touch with people, sharing photos and sorting social events. The 'randoms' who you never really liked adding you as a friend is a bit annoying, but you can simply dismiss the request, so no problem!

 

It has also allowed me to reconnect with people I lost touch with when moving away from Kent when I was 10. Couldn't believe it when I found out how they are all doing!

 

It works very well for me. It's a very effective 'networking' tool.

Facebook is evil. I have had friendships lost over Facebook, arguments in relationships... the works.... and generally speaking, it's been caused by randomers you never liked in the first place.

Then you've done right to 'cull' them. When you live in Coventry and most of your mates live in Hampshire then Facebook make things a lot easier! the guys down my local are alright but not exactly close friends, Facebook helps keep me in the loop with back home.

Hopefully something new and innovative comes out soon............

 

I only really use it to try to hook up with random dirters

 

Oh.... I did pick up a couple of numbers from my cull to be fair. Had 2 messages from bints asking why I deleted them... when I stated it was because they were not in my phonebook therefore didnt qualify... they passed on their phone numbers. :cool:

Can you tell if someone been looking at your facebook profile even if they dont leave a message?...ps i new to facebook this year

 

No.

 

Oh thats good thanks

 

Yes you can, there's an add-on thingy. I use it all the time, still waiting for someone to view me :confused: I find it best to have no friends as it saves the heartbreak of losing them later.

There's only one thing sadder than having hundreds of Facebook friends. That's having hundreds of Facebook friends, then deleting then, then posting on an internet forum about how you had hundreds of friends then deleted them.

There is one thing sadder than that... Using Facebook at all.
