I like to be on facebook because I can keep in touch with old friends, as well as new ones. I can't believe how my past has exploded into my present, and probably my future!
I also use it for business networking.
I have to admit, the "improvements" bother me more and more every day, but they haven't bugged me enough to make me want to quit it.

Hi Parated, I use Facebook mainly to stay in touch with friends and i have found almost all my old age school friends. I like Facebook for this and its nice to share old memories our school days and it was great!

Using facebook to keep in touch with friends and family is the main reason. As I have been overseas for years, it is extremely hard to keep contact with so many people if simply using phones or sending emails. These days many friends are getting married and it's sad that I can't attend their weddings but looking at the photos they or common friends posted, it made me feel like I was there as well. And sometimes when friends are unhappy, you can easily send a cheer up message to let them know you care about them. But of course, shouldn't be too addicted to it.

Hi there ParaTed2k!!!
Most of my friends are in facebook that is why I joined the site and stayed there to received some updates and important news about them.This the only reason why I keep staying in facebook.It is hard for me to leave the site even if I am being paid by mylot becoz if I stop using facebook I wouldn't be able to know what my friends are doing anymore.

i use facebook to also keep in touch with my friends, especially the ones whom i have not seen for a long time. I also find my friends way back in pre-school and elementary days. It is nice to see their lives now. I also do facebook-ing to communicate with my relatives in the states and to also communicate with my father who works as an overseas worker. with facebook, you can find interesting things, be updated with your friends' lives, share photos and discuss your interests with them.

I Facebook just to keep up with my extended family and my children. We all used to email but now they all Facebook except my two sons--we still interact through phone and email, thank God.
I only go to Facebook once or twice a week to see what's up with my "friends", which are few and I like it that way!

Hi. ParaTed2k. The only reason for me being onto Facebook is when I am responding back to a friend of mines. Or when I am sending a message to someone that I have written to or to someone that has written me back. I am not on Facebook anymore just to be on there. I always have a reason for being on there. I rely on my email notifications to inform me if I have a comment, message or a Birthday that I want to reply back to. Sometimes I hardly ever visit the Facebook site.

I use Facebook to communicate with my friends and family. I don't use their games or applications anymore, I don't even set a status on my wall. I just usually log in there just to check if there is a message coming from my friends or work. I use My Lot more often than Facebook nowadays.

Facebook is my mean for communicating and finding long lost friends. The facebook constant change makes me piss sometimes but after using and evaluating it, the security enhances as time pass. I love what they are doing to fight spammers and hackers with the security enhancement.

I also use facebook in communicating. And also, to back up all the pictures that I have. With these, it helps me to save disk space on my computer. :). I agree, that facebook does change many things every now and then. At first, it was cool. But as they continue to change, it kinda bothers every users because the developers cannot be contented on their work.
