Yet another stupid idea from Facebook

I don't think I've ever found a forum or set of people who have as much collective dislike for facebook as OcUK.

Facebook is nothing but an Internet fad, clung upon enthusiastically by the gullible insignificant who desperately attempt to wallow in their own self-importance hopelessly seeking the puerile approval and acceptance of their inane peers.

Facebook is as good & interesting & funny & as useful as your Friends are. ;)


FB's been good to me.
Friends around the world can keep in touch for Free & getting daily updates of my Daughter & Grandson is Superb.
On top of this I've had loads of old friends & some distant family get in touch via FB & now we stay in touch regularly.
Mustn't forget all the Dirty Doris I've blagged off there either. :D

Facebook for the Win. :cool:

But you can ring them if you keep within your phone contract or email them

I just can't see the point of a site that lets you keep in touch with each other in a very convenient way AND keep you all in touch at the same time.
What a silly idea.

Depends what you use FB for. I use it for keeping up to date with my favourite musicans, businesses and artists. I have about three real-life friends on there and no family.

I see what you did there Mr Dimples. :p + :cool:
 
Facebook is awesome for the local selling groups. The local facebay its called round here group has 12k members and allows me to sell all sorts of old stuff for decent money and is great for bargains but otherwise facebook is a piece of nonsense.
 
You have added someone, maybe a freak or maybe they just don't like you and they have declined, they have given the reason that they don't know you which facebook sees and marks this against you, this may have happened on a 3 strikes your out rule which basically means you been owned by people that don't want to know you any more.

This.

Facebook is a tool. A tool for socialising which I use to my advantage and enjoyment. In my experience people that actively dislike Facebook have issues, are anti-social or both.

I have friends that don't use Facebook, they're just not fussed but the difference with them is that they don't go out of their way to criticise it.

Facebook doesn't care about their uses. It's all about the money.

Just out of interest because obviously Facebook makes a lot of money -

Has anybody here ever given money into the Facebook cause?
I know for an absolute fact that I go on FB once a day for about 5 minutes and I have NEVER clicked an advert and gone off and bought something.

No, it doesn't. You just haven't figured out how to use it to your advantage.

Or maybe I have better things to do than waste my time looking through hundreds of "look at me i'm drunk in a club" photos, wishing random people happy birthday because facebook reminds me, and reading through status updates which 99% of the time are of absolutely no interest of concern to me.

The only useful feature of facebook is that people can use it to e-mail or post to tell me about stuff or talk to me, both of which can be done just as well or better by a normal e-mail service or IM such as Skype.

Hence facebook sucks. It's also hugely intrusive to your privacy which unless you're an idiot you should be extremely concerned about
