Yes thats Why it Number 1

Is anything these days really necessary? I just think of it as a place to hang out and chat. Even then, it can be useful. I really don't understand Twitter.

Not for me - the only major virus I ever contracted came via a Facebook link .....

I don't use Facebook, I don't want it and I don't need it .....

Its not necessary, its just a fad. if you think it is necessary then its your vanity speaking to you.

Can you explain that please, because I don't get what you mean.

I've never felt a need for Facebook so haven't found it necessary, but I do appreciate the benefits for thos who do find it necessary...if that makes sense

Its a Tool

that works on everything.


Its Not a Threat

[lostalex]

I cancelled my account 3 months ago. It's definitely not necessary. I just use text messeging or MSN to talk to the people i wanna talk to, i never understood the purpose of Facebook. I hated the fact that my family could read everything that my friends said to me. It was embarassing.

[Kizzy]

its great, i can keep in touch with old friends even if its just to say happy birthday, anything confidential can be said via private message, and just someone pressing like on a pic of me or the kids makes my day i only have close friends and family on no randoms so its all good.

[lily.]

So I set up a facebook. I read the magazine, and it was very disappointing. It was badly written/researched with poor grammar throughout.

What a waste of f.u.c.k.i.n.g time.

Oh no Lily, sorry to hear that what a let down for you after all that, there should be a dislike or you b**tards button soley for that page

[lily.]

Tell me about it. lol

I have 8 friends now though. My daughter added me, then her boyfriend and 2 of their friends added me. :/ Another 2 kids from her school added me but I declined them. I'm not bloody adding all my kid's friends .. that's a bit weird.

The other 4 are girls [ladies] I know online.. from other places.. so far it's not really doing anything for me lol

Oh no, that would freak me out too .... if i had kids and then all their friends started adding me...but the way you worded your post made me chuckle

[lily.]

I don't mind having one or two of them on there, but she has about 500 on hers... sod that.

The ones I added are in my house often anyway, and I've known them since they were little.. they're both about 16 or 17 now.

[King Gizzard]

MSN is worse, though

[lily.]

Worse for what?

[arista]

Soon Shares in Facebook
are on the market Place.


Gamble but as so many use Facebook
Ads are it's rising power.



Feel The Force.

[fruit_cake]

it's ok, wouldn't say it was necessary though. It's a good way of keeping in contact with old friends or acquaintances
