I think there is no singe internet user who have never heard the word facebook. It is the biggest social network in the world, you can meet your friends you have not seen for years, you can play many applications and do lot of other things. I was refusing to join it for simple reason, I just did not want to join it just because everybody else did. But after some time I joined. I think it is good place and you can really find there many people you have not been in touch with for ages. So are you facebook too? What is your opinion about this site?

Sounds like I'm a bit like you. I only joined FB recently. I really didn't want to join up, but then I realised that for a select number of friends it was the best way of keeping in touch. I don't have hundreds of friends on FB which so many people seem to have, I keep it limited to the amount of people that I actually do want to stay in touch with

Like me, I do not have hundreds of contacts, FB is not a competition who gets more contacts, I think

Yeah, I'm a Facebook user but I think I'll close my account soon. The reason why I'm going to do that is because Facebook is getting on my nerves, there are lot of stupid groups, millions of useless applications and enough stupid and boring people to start thinking where is this world going today. What I like about Facebook is that it isn't like Myspace where it was all about getting "friends" you even don't know. Facebook has its purpose and it is to be connected with the peple you know. Facebook would be much better if there were no applications, no stupid groups and no idiots who think it is funny to make groups like "If you don't join you'll get banned from Facebook", etc.

Yeah, I just opened an account the other day, Im finding it a bit hard to use, but I suppose it should take no time to work it out.

Yes, I am on facebook. I think it's a good way to keep in touch with people. Though I find it very addictive. That's perhaps my only complaint about facebook.

Luckily I am not addicted on facebook, I think there is not that much interesting things to do to become addicted:)

Yes, I have a facebook account, you can add me as a friend.lol!I am a friendster member also. It is exciting to have these social networking sites because I am able to connect with long lost friends. But there's only one thing I don't like in Facebook, it is not a friendly user just like friendster. Sometimes I had a hard time figuring how to update my account and we cannot customize our profile page, we cannot manage design page or layout something like that.

Yes better self expression through designing profile page would be good idea.

I am not member of myspace, and I will not be. Reason is because I do not care much about internet friendships...facebook is different because you know people personally.

I am a member of Facebook but I am not very interested in it. I joined it because I want to see my friend's photos. I love China

I am on facebook too. I asked my sister the other day if she was on facebook and she did not have a clue. So, now she is on there. I have not been on there very long. I enjoy it though.

I am chatting on Facebook right now, and I love it! I think it's really amazing that I can chat to my friends so easily whenever I want to. Also, it's so easy to see just what everyone's upto with the status updates! & I can organise my social life on it, as a lot of my friends send out party invitations through this site now, so that's good :)

Good to read different peoples opinion about facebook. I too like the site. But did you know that it has a virus: "Koobface" virus, which turns you machine into a zombie. Refer to the following articles pcworld.com/article/155017 and kaspersky.com/news?id=207575670 . Hope this helps all those regular facebookers.

I have an account there but I havent actually done anyhing with it. It just kind of sits there. I did look up a friend of mine on there though because I know she has an account there. It is an interesting place to go to. I just havent spent alot of time on there. I think it is kind of confusing to deal with.

I'm not on facebook, but I guess almost all my relatives have joined this site. Most of them who were out of touch, have contacted each other through this site. This is the most positive aspect I like about this site.

Yeah, i'm a facebook user.. At first, i was hesitant to sign up for an account because i already have a friendster. but when my hubby encouraged me to join, i gave it a shot. i've discovered that facebook is way better than friendster because facebook offers cool and exciting applications such as yoville and pet society to name a few..

My daughter wanted me to join. I started to but didn't do it. I used to do MySpace but never did much with it. I had several friends on there but they were never on and didn't send me comments etc. so I gave up on it. I have thought again about facebook but not sure if I will yet. I like MySpace because you can decorate your page any way you want.

I have been fighting facebook too. I signed up for myspace a couple years ago and just never would do facebook for whatever reason. My sister-in-law has it now and has nothing but good things to say about it, so I guess I'll go ahead and sign up. I give it...peer pressure wins out again! ha ha.
