Back when FB first came out and was .edu only I considered it a silly method for college kids to communicate. Nothing has really changed.
I've never created an account.

 I find this to be true as well, and that's after seeing the types of posts on it for years.

It was very stress relieving when I was in Baghdad, a few years ago.
It is very stress creating at home, now.

Despite not having an account, I've blocked Facebook right in my router. That way I can't even follow Facebook links sent to me, accidentally or otherwise.
The few times I've been on that site, I felt my IQ dropping with every click.

That's the perfect way to describe FB.
Should be part of their marketing scheme.

They'd get even more membership with that tag line.

If we were in the soapbox... I would add a comment to this

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

You can't quit anything until you have reached your personal "rock bottom". Are you ready for the next steps to enlightenment?
If you give me $100 USD, I will show you how to quit Facebook.

Wait, can I send you $150 please? I'd like even more enlightenment.

Facebook is a tool, nothing more, nothing less.
What people do with it is what matters.
I use it to stay in touch with friends and family that are too distant to always visit.
My wife uses it to remind me of things I've said, like today:
Groundhog day... leave the rodent alone! Get out of your monkey suit!
Do you want entertainment? Put on your monkey suit and wake a sleeping bear.
Now, THAT would be funny...
I said that 3 years ago; it came up in her timeline and she reminded me of it.
I'm still laughing.

This suspiciously sounds like a pro-FB post.

Not necessarily pro, more neutral... I use it for certain purposes, but manage what I use it for.

I can make something useful with a tool.
Facebook is only useful to its customers. Also, don't confuse their customers with their users.
|
|

Exactly, the age old adage is true, if you're not paying for something then you're not the customer. Someone is paying FB.. and for what... demographics I'd wager. Sure, some advertising revenue too, but I don't think that alone would make them so rich. So, in essence, with FB and Twitter, the users are the product.

Facebook has the best profiling tool available to advertisers, perhaps next only to Google--and better yet (for them): People volunteer their information.

I've switched over to MySpace.
I think that is going to be the big social media platform of the future and I want to be there before anyone else.

I was going to sign on but the requirements are 1200 baud (or better) modem.
I'm planning on upgrading my 300 baud soon.
