Do you have a facebook account?

I have one for sometime now but just recently started using it more. I am trying to track down high school friends but I am going to guess that many of them just don't play on the computer as much as I do.... My favorite game is Farmville but I need some new neighbors. What about you? How much do you use Facebook? And what is your favorite thing to do on there. I must say, since only my friends can mail me...I don't get the SPAM.

True, but it is fun to relax a bit and sometimes I get burnt out over here. It is a great change.

It is a good game , got to give credit to the developers of facebook for combining games and chatting.

Can you believe Hollywood is making a film about Facebook? How it came about, who was responsible for it...

I just am not motivated to join facebook, so no, I do not have an account. For some it is fun, but it would not be for me. I have no reason to join it.

You don't like silly games and just kicking back? I find it kind of a pleasant change from the stress of work.

I relax here and on another site. I just do not join the social sites, got burned a time or two. I have some favorite online games, but I seem to be obsessed by places where I earn some money. Just me.

To the surprise of many, I do not own a facebook account and I don't have any intentions of opening one. I used to have friendster but I closed that off a long time ago. I'm not interested in keeping in touch with a lot of people I grew up with because many of them are just mean spirited. The ones I do like have my contact information.

I think it is also a nice way to keep in touch with the people in your life now. It is too bad so many people were so mean when you were a kid...I hope you have met nicer people now.

For the people close to me, they have my email/ phone number. Yes, I've met nicer people. Most of the mean ones were in my High school.

Yes, i have afacebook account. Mostly for communicating my very close relatives and for my friends, i use that. Facebook is a very good mode of social network and their theme of social networking has got a commendable success. Thank you.

I currently work for Friendster and have had an account for years but became very addicted to Facebook a a few months ago because of the "Restaurant City" application. I love my job but Facebook is the coolest thing now and it has been my homepage since =)

I still login to my Friendster account just to check stuff, but I just opened up my new place in "Cafe World" in Facebook this morning, that alone would take 2 hours off my daily routine now =)

I agree, it is a fun place. I found out my boss went to see Lion King in NYC on Sunday and would not have known since he does not talk about at work (like we have the time). It is just a nice place to be, friendly and if you don't like someone you can remove them from your friends list. I am glad you found your friends.

I love facebook and I love farmville as well :-) It's my favorite thing to do on there other than catching up with my friends.

I have a FaceBook account. I finally opened one back in August. It was a great way for me to stay in touch with my friends while I was traveling abroad. The hotel that I was staying at had a free internet cafe, so that worked out really well. A number of my high school friends have located me. I started off with just a few that I wanted to locate, and the rest found me from their pages. It is pretty neat to talk to people that I haven't talked to in over 20 years. I have found out what they are doing now, where they are living, how many kids they have and other such things. I had one friend that I had been wondering about ever since we graduated high school, and it was totally awesome to get back in touch with her after all of these years. I don't play any of the games, as I don't really spend very much time on there. Just an update every few days or so. But, even my friends that aren't on very often, at least I have been able to locate them and see how they are doing!

My high school graduation is closer to 40 years now (ouch). It is really tough to find people after all of these years. I am sure glad that you have found your friends. It is nice to stay in touch!

Yes, it is fun. I add people that I would not normally talk with...for example my ex-husbands kids. The kids and I still talk even though my ex and I don't. This makes it nice.

I joined facebook during its early years but I was not really active as I was not used to the site and what it was all about at that time. After a few years, then I heard lots of my friends were talking about it and how facebook has this and that and eventually, I was dragged back into it. I have no regret as my facebook is now more than a virtual hangout for me where I played Mafia Wars, Farmville and Roller Coasters when I have the time to relax. At the same time, I get to know what my friends are doing especially when I have lots of friends who live in different countries. Even when I need to ask them something, it is faster to send my message via facebook rather then the traditional email. In fact now, for me, any communication with friends is done via facebook, which has beocme my primary communication channel... The other great thing about facebook is that I managed to track down old friends, old school mates, teachers, colleagues etc and it is really good to be able to say hi to all those people that you have never heard of for decades. It is really fun to be in contact again where the last time that we spoke was when we were in classes together learning how to do this, how to do that, what is this and what is that and now, here we are, being in touched again... To see that certain things about certain people that we used to know have changed and some have not is simply priceless and thanks to facebook for making it happen... Cheers!

That is great. It is a good way to keep up with your friend and hopefully keep in touch over the years. Unfortunately, it is way too easy to lose touch. Good luck

Facebook is a great way to stay in touch with old friends. But if you don't want to, facebook is not so interesting.

I have a Facebook account. Finally able to touch and know where my friends first, either from a friend in elementary school once, until co-workers, ex-ex-girlfriend I was, my brothers and sisters, and other relatives, and know a small part of their lives now, and the activities they do. Good thing there was Facebook facilities, which connect us with people that even though we do not know. To me, a marketing staff, has a Facebook account is very important. Because I can establish a broader relationship, anytime and anywhere, whether it is through the Internet or mobile phone, offering them if they wanted to use my company's products, or receive other inputs, opinions and feedback about the product my company. I admit, Facebook is truly global. In fact, in my opinion, Twitter and Friendsterare still inferior to Facebook.

Hi Debs! Yes, I have a facebook account. I opened it almost a month now. And I must admit I got hook on the Farmville bug. Lol. My brothers and sister were always talking about it, facebook, farmville, yoville. So, I tried too. And I don't regret because I reconnected with my old schoolmates that are in Tahiti. Because my family and I moved to the Philippines since 1994 I think. I was still in my teens. And eversince, our bonds went on and off. And it is very fun to get in touch with them now, and share photos of our children. And I find Facebook very user friendly, you can post link, share ideas, play games and also control who writes in your wall and who can be added to your friends' list. And of course Farmville, who has very cute updates now, like the egg hatching and the 22X22 expansion release. Lol. By the way, I have read on one of your comment that we can also earn on Facebook. I was wondering how? (^^,)

I've actually have had a Facebook account for a long time but was never very active until maybe two months ago when I realized a lot of mylotters were hanging out there and mainly due to the games there...and yes, very addicted to them and probably spend more time there than I should..LOL I just PM'd you to ask who you are over there so I can add you as a friend

I always play game in facebook. I was more on playing than have a chat with friends. Sometimes I liked the status my pals placed there. I found some of their comments funny.

Yes, I do have Facebook account! I love Facebook, really. I open my facebook account daily and play games there. I have Farmtown, Farmville, Vampire Wars, Mafia Wars, and Naruto Shippuden. I also have a lot of pets on Friend for sale. Oh well, this is my only past time since I'm very busy and don't have enough to time to hang out with my friends. One features of Facebook that I like too is that you can chat right in your page. Hello there, you can add me if you want so we can be neighbor in Farmville. Cheers!
