been alot of threads on here about facebook.

cant understand the appeal for any over about 25.

its for kids! or for older people trying to be "cool" or with too much time on their hands.

I have friends all over the world, and i keep in touch on facebook.

One is actually about to give birth and isn't online much, but her hubby keeps us all updated on her health through FB.

I can't afford to be phoning people in the US, Canada, australia, Czech Republic...etc. Facebook is a good way to keep in touch and see how they're all doing.

Just because you don't see a reason for using it doesn't mean the people who do have no life or are sad and juvenile.

Catissleepy, I like your style. You are right, it is not worth taking a moral standpoint or getting upset about.

I have made contact with 30+ people that I never thought I'd see again so yes YABU as I am 34!

I don't subscribe to any of the stupid zombie/ other apps although I spent some time getting the music I like on there and photos of my family. It's great to see how people who you were at school/ college with have fared and recent photos are eye opening!

I don't think subscribers have any more time on their hands that regular MNers to be honest

I don't need to try to be cool, I just am!. So stick that up your chim chim churee!
While we're about it though, I should inform you, Neverfacebook, that you're trying way too hard, maybe next time you want to be controversial maybe you should use your real name. Comprendez?

Lol pantoing, I bet it's someone who has a facebook account!

pantoinghousewife · 16/12/2007 18:04

Probably upset that someone has ignored their poke or something!

mummymagic · 16/12/2007 18:26

Wisteria · 16/12/2007 18:27

cynic! although probably right......

Oblomov · 16/12/2007 18:41

I can't get into Facebook.
Its too much like a version of friends reunited.

Wisteria · 16/12/2007 19:00

Do you think? I find it completely different; couldn't get on with that at all!

zippitippitoes · 16/12/2007 19:07

i went on a singles holiday and a few of the people i met are on my face book..it is perfect for keeping in touch and sending messages catching up in a casuakl way as well as communicating intensely if you want...there is one guy who sends me messahges on there who is a consultant orthopaedic surgeon and we have a laugh and banter exchange gossip and stuff that we probably wouldnt be ringing each other at work about lolol

and the photo album facility is brilliasnt for sharing and storing on the web

and i am afraid daily hunk is hot totty too ...he slaps me int he face and makes me smile every time i log on i am filled with lust which cant be badf babes xxxx
