Should I Join Facebook?

Do you have friends?

Do you wish to interact with said friends, everyday?

Do you want said people you interact with everyday to know every minute detail of your most likely boring exsistance?

If you have said YES! to 2 or more of the previous questions, you should join FB! :D
 
I've resisted so far but people keep asking me to join. I just think it's really sad to be honest.

The concept of it is not, however the way in which people choose to behave is really horrible to be honest. (Not all people, but quite a lot :()

It turns good people into tools in some cases :p

I find my mobile phone/MSN helps me keep in touch with friends quite easily.

I don't like the whole "look at me and everything that I'm doing" aspect of it, and as an extension of that, those who actively broadcast everything they're up to, without what it seems, any shame.
 
Well tonight has been tediously boring. Nobody to talk to, nothing to do... so i've been pushed to this. The one thing i've been resisting since the beginning. Hell, i'm one of probably three people i know that's not 'on it'. But the question is this: Should i join Facebook?

Here's what i've managed to get so far:

Pros
  • Being able to talk to friends who don't use IM.
  • Being able to stay in touch with my Brother.
  • Not being harassed by everybody to join.

Cons
  • The shame of giving in.
  • Having less time to spend on productive things.
  • Being the 'newbie'.

So what do you think?

I vote yes. If it stops you from posting here. :p
 
Don't bother, unless you really want to see your friends 'status updates' and the stupid groups they keep on joining.

Not to mention all the annoying "games" on there that you get spammed about (Im sure you can turn it off/tone it down, but still :p)
 
Hmm, most of the replies here seem to be in the negative, which is the opposite response as i've been getting from my friends.

These don't happen to be the friends who are trying to get you to use it?

If they are, then seriously, what were you expecting? :confused:
 
It really does fail imho. Constant ' you have a farmville invite, accept your gift now ' etc etc . . **** off for christ sakes
 
It's cool to hate facebook don't you know!

I love it, I think it really has harnessed a lot of potential that the internet offers into one place. It really is a way of making the world feel smaller and bringing everybody into contact. It's also a way of keeping in touch with more casual internet users rather than the fellow geeks that might have used ICQ/MSN a couple of years back.

Also, don't touch bejewelled, it's like crack in Flash form. :o
 
Or it could be many of the people using the forum are antisocial people without any friends?

or maybe they have figured out that real friends deserve better not some internet chat bs, time spent online with friends could be actually be better spend with friends face to face.
 
Don't.

All it is is spam of 'join my whatever and help me get points because I'm sad' and people who like to update on their existence every 10 minutes.
