What is it with this Facebook thing ? I replied to our ex-neighbours on it , I now seem to have a thousand "Friends" I've never heard of !!

They all seem to be talking twaddle.

Think it was set up by a bloke called Billy No Mates

:slap :slap:slap:slap

I'm glad it's not just me. It's what all those gainfully unemployed spend all day doing cos it's really important!

It is the most awful gossip and rumour spreader ever invented, or should that be the best or fastest.

It has caused many problems and heart aches to people I know personally.

I have family in Australia and my sister in UK discovered that a family member in Australia had a baby on the day the child was born.

On opening her email to write to my sister she had an email waiting telling her of the news. A bit late considering that Australia is ten hours ahead of UK so the world gets the news before family.

This is just one example of the danger of Facebook there are many many more as I am sure readers will know.

Whats wrong with email?

 

[Larnacaman]

Indeed, .....also, what's wrong with using any of the messengers?? Where you can talk face to face via web-cam!!!

Absolutely no need to use facebook or any of the other similar sites....

There more trouble than there worth...

 

[Riggy]

Why use this forum? Absolutely no need for it!

What a narrow minded lot we are on here sometimes!

It may not suit any one of us personally, does that make it wrong? I think not.

Like most things (particularly on t'internet) it is merely a tool, if people choose to use it inappropriately who's fault is that?

 

[Larnacaman]

Not narrow minded at all, ..... for some of us, sites like Facebook are definitely not our cup of tea.. Doesn't mean to say that others shouldn't make use of them....

I think like others here, they are just giving a personal viewpoint, Nothing more, ....or nothing less!!!

Very much down to your age, kids use it in the same way we would not think twice about using a phone

Now as to pointless, I think Twitter falls squarely in this category, mostly used by the pretentious who think someone actually cares about their pointless ramblings about what they just did, sadder still are the Twitter followers of these pretentious people

And are definitely twits not tweets

 

[Larnacaman]

Hahaha!!! I for one will agree with you, Especially on the Twits!!!

There are plenty of Adult kids on there too, trying to impress!!! ...It's a real haven for life's failures.

But then even they need a place to feel safe, among virtual friends, ....whatever they are!! haha!!!

Facebook is useful, but i prefer the more direct contact of e-mail, but then that's my generations tech. I am currently considering facebook for family contact, but like many things it's having time to play, so I've got my son to do it:^O

 

[exbdc]

The unacceptable face of the internet along with Twitter, Bebo et al.

I do have an account with Facebook but I use a pseudonym to keep in touch with people of my choosing & not those from my past who suddenly want to be my friend again.

Not from .... the dreaded initials that we should not utter , lest it is conjured up from the bowels of hell !

I don't use face book or twitter. But I had good use of it the other day.

A gang of about 20 idiots were going round our village causing trouble, they unleased a barrage of snowballs at our window. I went out to confront them and got a load of abuse, as you do nowadays.

My son recognised one of them and later in the day found him on face book posing in front of his canabis plant.

The police now have all information.

Revenge is sweet & a dish best served cold.

Another illustration of the dangers of social networking.
