When I first got pushed into signing up for facebook 3 years ago, I thought it would be a waste of my time. after a month or two, I decided it was kinda fun. Then I started hearing bad things and started worrying about security and my use of it tapered off. Now, 3 years later, I don't look at my facebook much but when I do, I notice two things:
its almost purely women that put things on facebook and make comments on stuff.
its purely women that are sending me friend requests and I have no idea who they are.
Is facebook dying off, drying up, wasting away? Is it turning into a ladies book club or ladies cribbage club? If so, how long before the same thing happens to FR?
“Zuckerberg deserves every penny.”
You people must watch a lot of “tv”. How else could anybody be so utterly clueless.
Zuckenberg has the morals of a barnyard animal and zero respect for any individual or constitutional rights.
ZERO.

“Zuck: Yeah so if you ever need info about anyone at Harvard
Zuck: Just ask.
Zuck: I have over 4,000 emails, pictures, addresses, SNS
[Redacted Friend’s Name]: What? How’d you manage that one?
Zuck: People just submitted it.
Zuck: I don’t know why.
Zuck: They “trust me”
Zuck: Dumb fucks.”
And that’s just a tiny sample of callous privacy invasion on a staggering scale.
If you use social media, learn how to protect your privacy, it’s nothing to joke about.
Kind of like someone in the early part of the last century scoffing at that ol' radio or television stuff.
do you remember fidonet?
BTW, I’m not saying FB isn’t useful for many things, I use it for family and friends, just learn how to protect your data from being used by individuals or organizations who may not have good intentions.
For starters:

I love the car commercial where the “concerned” daughter is worrying that her parents are not “living” now that she has has moved away. The daughter jokes the parents have just a few “friends” on an implied FB-like program on their computer whereas she proudly has over 600 “friends” - and the daughter goes onto to claim that she is really living and her parents are not (even though they are are off really living life through owning one of the cars and being outdoors!). Classic.
I'm on fb all the time. It's great for personal and professional uses. I find it funny that most of the comments around here are from people who rarely, if ever, use the site. I call them the "Harrumph!" crowd.
If used correctly, Facebook is a vibrant area for contacts, information, and maintaining distance relationships. I get all the political postings, local events and businesses, have kept up with old classmates, and obtained customers for my business. I’ve kept in touch with a friend who is a private contractor in Afghanistan, helped out an old friend in KY who just needed someone to talk to, and made some new friends from Britain.
Facebook is the new neighborhood.
Oh, and I’m 51 years old.
Thanks
“Given that almost all of my Soldiers from my old Infantry Platoon, some of whom are now Special Forces and company First Sergeants, are on Facebook, no, it’s not for “effeminate men.”
Absolutely! I keep up with several of my old Navy buddies from 40 years ago when we were shipmates. I also get lots of news feeds from all the conservative websites. They all have Facebook feeds. Lots of good videos, and I can make comments to all of my representatives on their links. I like that I can keep up with all my relatives birthdays too.
Disagree. I am a lady, and have a lot of FB friends who are straight, strong, conservative men. They’re my friends either because they’re hunters, horsemen, ex-military, coreligionists, and/or we are working together toward conservative political ends. This is the MOST valuable resource for networking with fellow conservatives and coordinating our efforts! Though FB is run by liberals and tries to make things difficult for conservatives, it’s still a great tool to meet and organize.
BTW, I may use FB for some personal ends—that is, to announce life events, brag on my kids, or ask for opinions—but those posts are sent -only- to my close friends and my family. FB is now arranged so that you can allow posts only to be seen by certain groups of people. This keeps me from boring or annoying one group of friends with posts about subjects that are of interest only to another group. It’s efficient.
Took a while to catch on, dint’cha?
;^)
LOL
if so, by the looks of their photos, they need to retire
I kill off gabby women...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
haha
My wife and her daughters are deep into the Facebook thing. I have absolutely no interest, and have never put anything on it. Or Twitter for that matter. I don’t if it’s just another way for women in general or men of a certain sexual predilection to gossip (donning my flame-retardant suit) or not.
Their are many football players with Facebook accounts. I can assure you that 99% (or more) are not effeminate!
I'm convinced most people use these devices just to use them with no great need beyond their need to talk to someone about anything. To be sure, I have a cellphone, and I use it occasionally, but I've never turned a corner driving a car with one stuck to my ear. It's crazy.
