What's the Big deal about Facebook?

I don't really get it myself. I have a facebook but I rarely, RARELY ever go on it. One, I don't feel like its 'my space' at all. And no one really talks to me on there and yet I constantly know all of their updates how weird? Personally I prefer myspace because you can be more creative with your profile and you can choose which friends you want to be updated on. It is jsut so much more interactive then facebook.

i don't know...i do facebook too.. but i don't find it fun.. it's so lame i log on to my account there like maybe once a month i guess........

Maybe it was invented by the Chinese to keep Americans sleepless, and therefore reduce their efficiency. LMAO! I think your right! I am on facebook as well. I do not use my real name and the sole purpose is to monitor my teen aged daughter. She gets made because I have never updated my status, I said why would anybody care what I am doing at this very minute.

I for one do not sign in with my real name. In fact, I'm in the process of changing my fake name...again. My security settings are worse than Ft. Knox so if you want to find me, good luck. I do it that way because I want to be able to control who I even have some type of connection with. What's the big deal about FB to me? I didn't know much about myself before I started on it because I'm adopted. I've always displayed traits that weren't of my parents and the more quizzes I do, the more I realize, "Hey, that's me!" Through friends of friends, I've build up a great collection of people I chat with daily. It's all a matter of keeping an opened mind. Honestly, when I first started, I hated it too. Glad I don't anymore. Should you sign in with your real name? Only if you're comfortable with it. =) *Pleiades

I actually love Facebook. I see what you mean about getting updates about people you aren't close to anymore, but sometimes it is nice to be able to get back in contact with them, especially if you discover they will be getting married soon, are having a baby, or other life-changing events. The day-to-day stuff can get annoying, i admit it. However, for my friends that I am close to - I love seeing what is going on with their day and it gives us something to discuss later without having to say anything about what we did...just go right into the conversation. The games are cool, at least the two I play, but mainly I am there to stay in contact with friends and family. It is the only way I can get pictures of my 4 day old niece that lives 4 states away, so that can only be a plus.

Facebook is okay, but I prefer myspace. It's not facebook I'm confused about though. It's twitter...so same question to ya...except what's with the big twitter hype. Maybe I just haven't figured it out.
