Probably not. I haven't been on Facebook in a long time.

Almost certainly not. Used Facebook only once and then chose to 'forget' all about it.

Used face book and my-space and friendster a couple of times, then I deleted my profiles and closed them.. to much effort and it really was not my thing.. Some people love them, then there are those like me who dislike it all.

So I might try it and I might not. If I do decide to try it, it wont be for very long.

All the apps were too much for me. I would accept everything everyone sent me cause I didn't want to hurt anyone's feelings. But my main reason for Facebook was to chat with friends and play actual games against them. Not send bumper stickers and what not back and forth. Then all the 2 minute updates were so annoying. So I got rid of the thing.

Only reason I am on FB is the GF and kid

Natasha · Sep 01 10 09:05

Well I don't have a gf and my kid is too young

I don't think I'll join. I don't really use facebook much anyways.

It's get old pretty quick. Much like twitter.

DDD · Sep 02 10 08:41

I do not twitter

Natasha · Sep 02 10 10:10

I don't either. Not anymore.

purelife · Sep 02 10 12:01

I don't even know how to twitter.

You basically open an account and update your stat every little bit. You can add pics, PM, follow others which means you can read all their updated stats, and people follow all your updated stats. It was fun at first but once I got a lot of followers I found it overwhelming. I was having to go back pages at a time trying to catch up on what everyone was doing. It can be very time consuming.

I freaked out when I opened my account and saw followers! That's when I never logged in again.
