I never knew they went to another site. How long have you been a mod there?

I've never tried those things. I usually prefer email and in-person snuggling.

No i don't use facebook. I'd rather speak to people i know in reality in person, or over the phone, i don't want random people from my past contacting me, and i don't want anyone who adds me viewing personal info. Would take up too much time and feed my insecurities too.

I don' have one I want one though, to get in contact with people from my past...I just don't have any friends so it would be kind of pointless.

supersoshychick · 11-06-2009, 08:54 PM

I have a account but don't use it, forgot my password; but I can honestly careless I have no one to add on it anyway. I just deleted the myspace account I had, didn't see the point of it

I have never had a facebook, nexopia, myspace, twitter, twinkle, tweet, whatever account. Every time I look around my class, everyone is looking at a picture from someone's fakebook page. Lately it's a Halloween craze, with drunk bunny girls slapping other bent over, drunk bunny girls. I can't believe the pictures some people apparently post. I don't think people would know what to do with themselves if facebook seized to exist.

I have a facebook but its not my real name. So, its only people that know my fake name.

Iced Soul · 11-06-2009, 10:33 PM

I had Myspace when it first came out. Still have the page, but barely visit it.

Facebook. Never had it, never will. Seems like too much drama to have a facebook and, from what I hear, you get sad from having a facebook, so why have it? I have no one to add to it, anyway.

Have Twitter and that's the only thing I update regularly. To me, it's more easy. You don't really have to have friends or 'followers' on it. I've only got one friend on it. The rest of the people who 'follow me' are either people from here or random people who somehow think I'm interesting. I just write what I feel at that moment and could really care less if someone reads it or not. It's more just to entertain myself.

For the life of me,i've never gotten all the hoopla over facebook. Never had a page. B O R I N G!!!!!

Its basically people showing off for all the people they went to school with in the past or whateva.

Neptunus · 11-06-2009, 10:46 PM

Never had an interest. Wouldn't work out for me anyway, seeing as I'm stuck with dial-up. Too many graphics on those networking sites.

rincewind · 11-06-2009, 11:14 PM

I don't use it, and I probably wouldn't even if I had some friends who did.

KyleThomas · 11-06-2009, 11:23 PM

I think Facebook does have its uses. It allows people who are geographically separated to keep in touch, and up to date with what each other are doing. I'm not necessarily talking about people who you are really close to (you'd be more likely to use telephone, email, etc. for that) but people you wouldn't specifically contact on a regular basis - non-immediate family, old school friends, former work colleagues, casual friends and so on.

What I've never understood is people using it at work to contact other people who work in the same office. People who are sitting a few feet away. People you could speak to from where you are right now without even needing to really raise your voice. What is the point of that?

katieboro · 11-07-2009, 01:53 AM

your not on your own, my friends isolated me at school, so now i have social anxiety and not only lost my friends but cant make new ones. So sadly i have no reason to have a facebook.

Toad Licker · 11-07-2009, 10:53 AM

I've never been to facebook, I have been to Myspace a few times only because someone wanted to me to see their page but I've never signed up for one myself.

FakeFur · 11-07-2009, 11:03 AM

I don't have a facebook. I would never use it if I got one.

merryk · 11-07-2009, 12:28 PM

I registered at Facebook and MySpace so long ago I don't recall my motivation for doing so, and I haven't done anything with them since.

I enjoy a sense of privacy/anonimity, so that seems at odds with being on social networking sites for the most part, lol. I much prefer old-fashioned talking. However, utilizing networking sites for business rather than strictly personal purposes would more likely help me land a decent personal assistant gig. I'm on the fence about this

KumagoroBeam · 11-07-2009, 12:49 PM

facebook scares me. i've never been on that site. i wouldn't know what to do with it if i had one.

somethinginthewind · 11-07-2009, 12:58 PM

I have a Facebook page and I love it, I guess that makes me weird by SA standards. I can't fit in anywhere LOL.
