Hello my friends,
I have had already the facebook account long long time ago. Until today, i just start to organize my facebook page. Why? Because i found that most of my friends are no longer use the friendster that often like before, well..i am still using friendster. Then i checked my facebook, ya....seems like they tend to use facebook more than friendster. So, i decided to change to facebook.
What about you?? Do you use facebook? How long have you been there?
Happy mylotting and have a nice day!

I also use Facebook more than Friendster since everybody is into facebook already. I started using PayPal when I got my laptop which was back in the month of March. Facebook is better than Friendster because it is easier to find our old friends there unlike in Facebook. I was able to find alot of my old friends I have not heard from for years.

I never heard of Friendster, but I use FB to keep in touch with many people. I belong to MySpace, too, but find that keeping up with one site is enough.
I may check into MySpace only if someone leaves me a message but FB seems more user friendly and where most people are.
The odd thing is that FB was created for college students, initially. It just took off!!

I did not know that FB was created for students, but it makes sense! I have never heard of Friendster either and agree with you about Myspace...I only go there when I get a message, I just find it hard to use!

Yes I use Facebook and have been there for about two years, maybe a little less!
I like it there although I do not use all of those silly applications and games that most on there use! I find Facebook usefull as a business promotional tool and a great way to keep in contact with friends that live a long way away.
It has also helped me to get back in contact with old friends that I have not seen for around 15 years, which is great! :-)
I am at Myspace too but I do not like that as I find it hard to work out! Facebook is much easier for me!

Hi Chris, I use Facebook a little to promote my business through a group that my wife started on there. Starting your own group is a great way to promote yourself on Facebook. I also started one to promote my other Internet Marketing sites and Traffic Exchanges.
It used to be easier to promote your businesses there with the old profile page layout that Facebook used to have. That was before you were there! I have also used the marketplace and other peoples groups there to give away our free ebook!!!

hi lulumartin!^^
i use facebook too. though i can't tell if i have more friends on friendster than on facebook or the other way around. but i can tell that most of my friends are dormant in friendster and i have a lot of friends who are active in facebook. so now, i'm active in facebook too and i'm dormant in friendster though i check my account there once in a while. its not only that a lot of my friends are active in facebook but there's a lot of fun games and quizzes there that i enjoy doing. i'm currently addicted to one of its games called Farm Town. i actually have a neighbor there who is a myLot member too.^^ now i use facebook most of the time.^^

Hi lulumartin!
I have been a member of Facebook since 2007. Many of my friends and relatives have not been on Facebook until 2008 and the others, later. I have not been using Facebook that often recently though as I have become very busy with so many things. I hope to see you there lulumartin!

Hello Lulu.
I have started using facebook and actually staying on it and trying out it's features and some games only from this year, just a few months ago.
I am not really interested in it, but i admit, it seams to have a lot of features when compared to other social network sites.
I have been a member of hi5 for a very long time though, and i have a plant game i like there :)

Hey,
Well I don't really use Facebook that much. I mean I log into Facebook once every week or so just to have a look if I get any new friend invites or anything like that, but other than that I don't really use it that much. Make sure you have a good day, God bless and Happy Lotting!!

No. I am sorry but I seldom get in to some socialite sites, like friendster, face book. It so happen that I just joined friendster because that was the first I've known sites that was commonly mentioned by my friends so, I force my self to joined it. But it's no use. If you want some friends why not invite them here on mylot. This site is beneficial than those friendster, myface, tagged etc etc...why not devote our time on sites that we could get something out from it...

That's really interesting to know that you started using facebook mainly because of your friends.
It's quite the same with me too. I found out that most of the people I knew on the internet were moving to Facebook instead of those social networks or interactive products that we used before. Like Yahoo! Messenger, I used that a lot. But after the Yahoo! Chat rooms faded into oblivion, mainly because they disabled user rooms and the fact that there are a lot of "Bot Infested Rooms" there.
I found out that not using facebook actually shunned me out of the internet circle I really liked to be in.
So not really liking facebook in the first place, I still reluctantly made a user name there and got in.
With that, I've started liking it slightly. Although I'd like it way better if things were done a little bit differently around there.
Anyway, it's good as it is for many people. So who am I to complain about?

yes i use facebook daily its great fun. I connect wiht my friends on that we play poker. there are quizzes that are fun to answer and everything is so cool about it.On the other hand friendster is very simple but its popularity is less coz of less applications whereas facebook is having lots of applications and its more of a social site there are lots things u can do when u join a community and be its fan all the realted content to that topic is so much uselful for you.Facebook is great fun.

I do not use my facebook account. I only get in there if my friends have left something for me there. Otherwise I think facebook are to much. Even my co-workers use facebook and login there even at work hours...and that disturb me a lot, since they are behind the screen instead of workin. I think facebook is a fashion, something that will blow away in time...

I have been using facebook for a couple of years. I mostly play games on it, but I also do communicate with people sometimes. I think that I waste a lot of time on it, but at least I am able to get away from only studying all the time. Have a great day!!

I can't even remember when I created my facebook account! Do you know if there is a way to find that out? I just looked and can't seem to find anything!! Oh well, obviously I do use facebook. I joined it because my husband joined it and was playing this Mafia Wars game. That's why I joined! I like playing Mafia Wars, Scramble, and Word Twist! I love word games! :)

Yes, I do have a Facebook account. It's pretty much the "in" thing now with friends and acquaintances. As for Friendster, I seldom check my account and I never update it anymore since everyone is on FB already.
I can't quite remember when I started with Facebook.. probably 2 years? Like you, I left it idle for some months but when most of my friends started to use it, I came back.
Happy MyLotting to you too! :)
