Facebook

Some of the reasons I'm not on facebook. I just don't want to be part of it..

See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil. I'm all good.

Hey Tor!

Actually I've been meening to ask you for some time now, why you weren't on Facebook.Guess there's no point in that now. :-)

I use Facebook as a way to keep up with people, I would otherwise had lost contact with. In there I have everything from old elementary-classmates to ex-girlfriends and co-workers. Many of which I have found through Facebook, and wouldn't otherwise have known today.

I think it is right that Facebook can be pretty much like a theatre (of the absurd? (-: ), but people choose for themselves how they want to use it. For me it's a great way to keep track of my good friends lifes, and furthermore - who knows - one day one of my contacts may even lead to something productive, like a job-offer, a new friend or a great bargain?

To be honest, I have the same perspective as Mikael.

I mean, I have always blocked out the mainstream... and have not done things everyone do, simply cause it's popular, but Facebook in a way justifies itself.

A very down to earth example: I can get my hands on all the pictures from EYP, debating and other events, that I wouldn't have otherwise. People always promise to send the pics via email, but they hardly ever do. Now all the pictures are up on Facebook, which is grand.
Although, yes, it's not nice to see a bad picture of oneself that's out there for everyone to see... but that's everyones personal issue: make sure not to get caught in a bad picture.

Cheers:)

I hear what you are saying. And the thought that I am loosing contact with people I could stay in touch with bothers me.

But there are also people I don't want to be in touch with.

And in general, I don't like the idea that anyone can have a peek and se who I am and what I'm up to these days.

I don't want to be part of the show. I think I'm just not ready for it..

Okay, but look at it this way: some people lay it all out there, yes: their relationship status, their current mood, their religion, whatever.... but one doesn't have to.

I still haven't filled in the blanks.. those who know, know and the others should keep their noses out of it. It's totally up to you how much information you provide about yourself.

I think that makes the difference... you can still be on the stage while not going along with the play;)

There are good things about it, and there are bad things. It particularly bothers methat the Facebook team do not promise to delete your information - ever! And you cannot delete your profile, only deactivate it.

On the other hand, I like the thought of people being able to easily get in touch with me if they would like to. And I like to have a way of sending them low-importance only-for-fun stuff that I only want them to read when they're not busy doing something else, more important :)

You miss out on a lot, which is why I re-joined. You miss out on all the nice pictures of your friends (me!), you miss out on amusing, happy, sunny everyday life stories about people you miss a lot. And you miss having to ignore friends requests from people you'd rather not have that close into your life. AND you miss out on all the silly applications. This week I have rejected invitations from two different people to add the "Daily Hunk."
