For the most part Facebook is for mental defectives. I can see some usefulness for long distant family relationships.

About every 6 months or so I check out Facebook, thinking there must be something to it, some wonderful benefit, that I just haven’t grasped. I have an account, but have done nothing - absolutely nothing - with it.

Every time I log in, after about 15 minutes I find myself saying “I STILL don’t get it,” and logging off. I can’t even figure out if I’m in my own site or someone else’s. Unless you’re a company promoting something I’ll be damned if I can figure out what the point is.

I’m not a technophobe. Been using computers for work for 25 years and at home for about 15. Hell, we had a computer lab in my high school in the mid-70’s and I was fiddling around with BASIC back then.

I get blogs. I get sites like FR. Hell, I even get Twitter.

But I’ll be damned if I understand what the fascination with Facebook is all about.
