What's Facebook?
Evidently it's software syphilis, or hard drive herpes, or computer clap, or something equally silly.

I joined Facebook about a year ago at the prompting of the wife of a long time friend. She is apparently addicted to it but I am sorry I do NOT need to know what she ate for breakfast, lunch or dinner on any given day. Quite frankly, besides the opportunity to track down long lost friends I do not only do NOT get it. But, additionally, I do NOT buy into the data mining that Facebook does. I have serious privacy concerns about their data mining.

My opinion of it remains the same. I use it to see the pics my kids post and that's about it. I don't spend any time on there other than that, as I find it boring. Although, I did use FB to finally reconnect with my estranged daughter (after about ten years) last winter. We've been in weekly contact ever since.

Let's not beat this to death. I'm just curious if folks have changed their mind about Facebook. Obviously, zippy Dave has not, nor has aashish.

w/o facebook, I wouldn't know Lainey's last name (or maybe she made one up for her profile).
It's a great big world out there!

We all have opinions, I shared mine your sharing yours. With all due respect since you consider mine wrong i consider yours wrong.

Facebook is like a cancer its creeps into every fiber of a heavy user's being and eats their privacy away. Let's consider Facebook the Internet cancer.

Did you even read the article Patty?
No, Dave, I did not read the article. My disagreement is with you so I don't care about the links. You are now talking about a "heavy user" although you didn't mention that before. Most things that people do to excess will cause major problems in their lives, and maybe even cancer. You're a beer drinker but I'm sure you have control over it. I had a neighbor growing up, who drank beer until it killed him. Just as facebook isn't the problem, it's the person who goes overboard with something that's the problem.

I check it out daily. Sometimes more sometimes less. I connect with my nieces, nephews, sister, and friends from various places. I wouldn't consider myself a heavy user, but have found it is an excellent way to stay in touch with folks and also to communicate with companies from whom I've purchased things. I had a problem with one of my cat deterrents and through FB was able to directly communicate, get the problem solved and move on. Funny how you can get the attention of a company when you publicly announce you have a problem with their product.
