No Facebook???

[ElizabethB]

I do find that Facebook is a useful way to keep up with the lives of far flung family members I haven't seen in years.

And an Facebook message to my brother goes directly to him and he answers. If I leave a voice mail, with all the other people in the house, he never seems to get it.

Same! Seems I can call or text my sister..... no reply, but let me send a fb message and she replies immediately lol!

I had one for promotional purposes of a blog, but that was it. It's still there, I never use it though.

"No facebook?"

That's a scary thought..... (Laughs sarcastically) lol

Zuckerberg is in Russia, apparently trying to convince them to get with it.

Give Russian hackers more ammo. Not that they don't have enough already.

Seeing various reports of PMs & private emails being posted on peoples "wall", from what I can gather it's not everyone but some people are pretty #ed off by it. Either FB got hacked or they messed up somewhere .

FB made a pact with Datalogix. Now you will be pestered off site by ads.

You can opt out.

I originally got mine to look up someone. I quickly deleted it, thinking it was a waste. Then I had to get mine for work and decided to update it to keep up with family that lived some states away. They were more net savvy then phone savvy... Other than that, I still hated it and what people use it for. It is quite annoying, and there seem to be a lot of insecure people on FB. Anyhow, I've both deactivate on several occassions and deleted the account as a whole when I no longer worked at the previous job. However, once I got into freelance editing, and started back marketing my writing, I've found that FB can be a great business and networking tool, if not cluttered with a bunch of people putting personal relationships on blast or other unnecessary junk, i.e. TBH LMS. Really? Who does that.

Who has never had a Facebook account and why not? I have never had one myself cuz I just never got around to creating an account, and then now I just don't see the point. I don't need to update my every move or know what other people are up to.

My kids have a Facebook account. Therefor I have one.

What ads? I never see ads online. Custom host file FTW! By the way... never opt out from ads. Block them instead, it's safer.

I usually don't see ads online anywhere. Combination of Noscript/Abine and tab permissions.
I can turn off images on the fly. Also Host file and Firewall.

The stuff I'm interested in doesn't mass advertise anyway.

Well I have an account w/fb but it was original to communicate with friends and relatives in far flung places, I recently realized that many of friends should never come in contact with my family and many of my relatives are oblivious to the concept of too much information which is why I don't go there anymore.
