Facebook...
 
I know a few here have one, anybody else? It's fun to keep up with friends and family, there's even a chat. Anyway here's mine. :)

I went full circle with it....

Joined to play games and keep in toucch with Nieces..... Found out some of my motorcycle forum buddies were on it..... got involved with Mob Wars.... Mafia Wars.... and a few other games. Became obsessed and addicted. Broke away from the games, and now just use it as a social tool and back to keeping in touch with family and friends....

Rustie 04-07-2009 09:18 AM

Seems anymore there are more people on there than on here... :rolleyes:

facebook goes into your email accnt addressbook and invites everyone in it to be your friend. i was unknowingly sending friend requests to people that i didnt really want to be friends.
after learning this i cancelled my accnt w/ them. pretty shady... i like myspace better. jmo.

Well I just don't put things in my profile I don't want others to see, and you don't have to add anyone you don't want too. You can even block others if you choose too. I also have a MySpace, it's in my sig. I like that you can customize it, check mine out :D;)

stevep 04-07-2009 10:18 AM

I use it. My daughter got me on it.

Bjorn 04-07-2009 10:20 AM

all 4 of my kids are , I`m not...

Rusty 04-07-2009 10:28 AM

I'm on it also. I use it for keeping in touch with friends from the past and posting pics of my daughter and life experiences. Easier to share photos that way rather than emailing them.

If you wanna be my friend, just send me a request :D

Found a buddy from the Tidewater Trans Am Club that I haven't talked to in 15 years or so; that was pretty cool. Other than that, mostly just for family.

carcrazy 04-07-2009 10:41 AM

I've been on it for a 5-6 months. More than anything else it was a way to keep up with relatives and a few old friends.

Old Blue 66 04-07-2009 10:53 AM

Joined last year. Ive found three friends that I lost touch with that I now see regularly. Its a very usefull tool to find old friends but thats about all I use it for.

Dont like the games.

Only if you tell it too. It doesn't do it on its own.

They don't do this anymore..

F ROCK 04-07-2009 11:04 AM

yes, i think you have to tell it not to do that, but i just didnt like that it was pre selected.
also, i didnt see that option, so i found out the hard way...

Yup, my wife got me hooked.

The kids and my better half are on. So far, I'm not. I might like it and end up spending too much time there. :)

Hey Mark long time no see :D;) ready to buy a Challenger yet? :D:cool:

My wife is on there,she is able to keep up with college friends from different places she attended.

David Holmberg 04-07-2009 02:04 PM

Since I live 1000 miles from where I grew up, FB is a great tool. I've found many "old" friends that I've not talked to in years...

vidguy 04-07-2009 02:07 PM

I'm there. Family and Friends. I am a "lite" user. I dont use the games, polls or apps..

As a rule I try to secure my "name" or name ID on ALL social networking sites, and in all major webmail accounts even if I never use them or plan to.

Facebook is fairly widely used across all age groups, now, so I keep up with family..

Great for people with Kids away in school, like me..

Ha Haa Haaa Paul :D Mark (Stags) got to sit in it at a cruise we were at this past Sunday. I had to pry him out. LOL :D

Derding 04-07-2009 08:44 PM

I'm on it. Very addictive but a great tool for keeping in touch with friends and family.

PonchoV8 04-07-2009 09:51 PM

Like I told Clone in the Clubhouse, family is what I try to avoid.

Bill Bolin 04-07-2009 10:40 PM

I'm on there......but you already knew that MA. LOL

pontiacmark 04-08-2009 07:15 AM

I am on there too. My wife got me addicted to it.

Qball 04-08-2009 08:29 AM

Hopelessly addicted to it. My wife suggested I create an account. I said "Bahhhh, I'm too old for that nonsense!" I ended up doing it anyway, out of curiosity. It was pretty cool reconnecting with so many people. I even found a few guys I served with in the Air Force.

Mike, your the king of the questionnaires!!

I cant say Im addicted, but I visit the site once a day. When I first signed up, I was on it all the time. Now the excitement has worn off for me.

I'm using Facebook the same way. Mostly just to connect to old school friends. I don't have time to play around with all those games and other invitations friends send me.

Funny story: I turned one of my coworkers on to Facebook. Let's call him "Jones". He's on there for a couple of months, reconnects with people he used to go to school with 25+ years ago, etc... when an ex-coworker becomes friends with both Jones and I on Facebook.

The ex-coworker sends me a PM asking me "So when did Jones come out of the closet?" I responded "What?!" Jones is heterosexual and is known to us as a bit of a womanizer. The ex-coworker writes back to me "Check out his profile. It says he's "Interested in Men"!!!".

I see this, hit print screen, and save the image to my computer. I then ask Jones (who sits right next to me), "Sooo is there anything you have to tell me?" Jones looks at me befuddled. I then tell him, "According to your Facebook profile I see that you're interested in men." Jones' facial expression turned to astonishment. Somehow when he registered he accidentally checked "Interested in Men"!!!

He panics for 5 minutes trying to figure out how to correct it. He keeps calling me over to his computer begging me to help him change it. I tell him I won't help him and just watch him panic. Eventually he figures out how to change it.

The funniest part of this story is that now all of his old friends that he reconnected with all think he leads an alternative lifestyle even though he doesn't.

There's mine, feel free to add if you'd like. I don't use it that often, and frankly lately it's been annoying me with all the live feeds on it. I don't play any of the games, just chat with a couple people and check comments.

Steve Barcak 11-02-2009 10:03 PM

I do the myspace thing. Met a few nice gals so far, still looking though...... I recently met a gal who owns 3 Firebirds and 2 of them are Trans Ams. That is very unusual as I have never met a gal with more than 2 cars, even that is quite rare.
Maybe I need to check out facebook sometime.
