They must have changed. I registered with a totally fictitious name and drop email account. My Farcebook contains no personal info at all (except for the links via “likes”).

No facebook page here.
Never will be.
Nothing to see here.
Move on...

WITH a Facebook Account you ARE 'Suspicious'
That, with iPhones and Twitter and Pinterest and iPads only proves very many people have very little thought going on between their ears - usually, with few exceptions.

No smart phone either. I guess I’m destined to lurk in the shadows of social media... a faceless drifter on the web.

Great video! Favorite quote:

Anecdotally, Ive heard both job seekers and employers wonder aloud about what it means if a job candidate doesnt have a Facebook account.It means the job candidate won't be wasting company resources and time.

I had a FB account for about 6 months...never used it and got such a creepy feeling about it that I finally just closed it and felt better right away.6 months? I closed mine after 2 weeks.

I think that in the very near future, anonymity will become a precious commodity, and there will be a lot of people who wish they never had a facebook page.Prophetic words. You can add 'tattoos' to that "wish I hadn't" list.

All it means is that I was smart enough to use a fake name ;)

I had one for awhile, when it started suggesting friends based on who my friends were I got spooked. Quit and like not having one, wish I had never had one! I think we are just beginning to see Facebook's potential for misuse and invasions of privacy.

Our Muslim enemies in the ME use non-traceable, non-electronic communications. Smart, and worthy of emulation.

>> if youre not on Facebook, its possible you dont actually exist.
Please DO go on thinking that, y’all. I don’t WANT to exist out there in the “cloud”.

I was told this a couple of days ago by someone who knew about the internet, or its precursor, long before Al Gore invented it, and who has known more than one CIA director and SecDef.

Wow do I ever go against the so called new social media requirements. Tried Face Book twice, deleted both, never even seen a twitter screen and do not want to. I check my email about once a week and delete the tons of spam in there. Last time I carried my Cell phone was a week ago when I needed to make a call to my doctor and ignore all incoming calls that I do not recognize.
How am I going to survive not being a slave to social media, email and my cell phone?

...leading to the conclusion, in Slashdots phrasing, that not having a Facebook account could be the first sign that you are a mass murderer. Actually it's a sign that not all people are sheep who follow every silly trend that comes along like Facebook, Twitter, etc.

From what I see from my wife’s excessive activity, a spot where attention whores post endless photos of themselves along with infinite updates on their bowel movements, or something..........NO! Not hers, I rag on her for the idiotic content and time spent with that excrement...

I’m starting a social media site for plumbers, it’s called Assbook, there you’ll be able to recognize your favorite plumber.
