Lots of links at the original article. With more updates, too.

Anecdotally, I’ve heard both job seekers and employers wonder aloud about what it means if a job candidate doesn’t have a Facebook account.

It means the job candidate won't be wasting company resources and time.

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

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

What is Facebook?

>> “if you’re not on Facebook, it’s possible you don’t actually exist.”

Please DO go on thinking that, y’all. I don’t WANT to exist out there in the “cloud”.

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?

Yawn, who give a shiite? My cellphone is rarely even on...............

...leading to the conclusion, in Slashdot’s 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.

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

I'll keep my dumb phone and no way will I ever put myself on facebook or any other social bullshit!!!!

Mark me suspicious and put a brand on my forehead if you must!!!

[Lancey Howard]

Not only am I not a twit, and don’t have a Farcebook page, I still carry an antique “flip phone” I got about 6 years ago. It needs charging a lot more often these days, but I just keep it plugged in when I drive and it stays charged. When the battery finally dies, I’ll search high and low (if I have to) for a replacement battery.

Watch out - - I am really ‘suspicious’.

Facebook sucks.

The data in Facebook is easy to collect and store is a designed database and then data mine. The same with all your Gooogle searches that are stored in a database. Your card you use at the store is used the same way. The Muslins are no longer the enemy. Now the new enemy is white, military past, gun owner, Conservative. You are now the enemy of America.

I’m married, so why would I need to do “social media”? For me the only purpose of “social media” would be to make my getting laid easier.
