I use it to stay in touch with friends and family but I post very little as I have no desire to live my life on line. Except, of course, for CP.

I am not questioning amount of usage. I am questioning why people crib about it. A reason please. A valid one.

Because people live out their entire lives online. Dumb. I pretty much said that - guess you missed it.

I know that but that is not a reason to call amazingly well performing web application.

That sentence makes no sense.

I wasn't blaming it for anything. You can't blame an application for the way that people choose to use it.

Poke.
Is that still a thing?
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

I've never poked anyone!

I don't think people who aren't on Facebook actually hate it, they just don't think it's for them.

That is not the attitude I smell. Now, my sense of smell sucks and I am well aware of that. I have seen posts just ridiculing mere existence of it. Yet, no post actually explaining why. Same case here in this thread.

I don't see any posts here, so far, ridiculing the existence of it. Care to elaborate?

I remember reading a few just not sure about finding it. I know it is not difficult to find them and since I did not even tried to search, I do accept to be held guilty.

Facebook's existence is ridiculous! 
There you go... Satisfied now?

Oh, absolutely. I shall go on with my night, happy in the knowledge that you posted this.

Glad to be of service.
Good night; sleep well.

Exactly. I'm just as "close" to my extended family and friends as I want to be without FB.
If I had to choose something about it that I dislike it would be that its too easy (sitting at home in private) to write things to or about someone that you otherwise wouldn't. On the internet this is not unique to FB - but FB is the current poster child.

In my eyes it's a platform that raises the worst side of internet to a level never seen before - and I'm talking about the opportunity to be someone else, and lie about yourself to everyone, yourself in the first place. That behavior creates a generation that thinks - because of the fake relationship built on FB - that it's acceptable and tolerated to lie. If FB (and friends) goes on people that remove the barrier between real and fake will be a majority in a lot of important places in our word - I DO NOT WANT IT!

Banking upon a disliked yet prevalent behavior and making fortune out of it, amazing. Be smart. Period.

Don't blame him. If people had their so called moral strength, they would have never signed up. Did he come to anyone to sign up? No.

I detest Facebook for its blatant disregard for privacy, demonstrated repeatedly in the past, and I have no confidence that "this" time they have all the holes plugged. I use it, however, as it is the only means I have to keep in touch with friends in far places. A necessary evil, but I keep my exposure to a decent minimum.

If you are calling it evil just because of your privacy concerns, internet is evil. If anything else, please explain.
