Do you Facebook?
« on: October 18, 2016, 11:40:51 AM »
I do have an FB account. I'm not super active on it in the terms of posting, but I do lurk on there and get the latest news about friends and stuff.

I remember resisting FB for some time and stuck to LiveJournal for my social networking needs. Now I'm resisting Twitter. :P Sadly, LiveJournal has become a bit of a lonely wasteland. I might get a Twitter account one day, but mostly so I can follow certain people more easily as opposed to posting on it.

I kind of have a love-hate relationship with FB. It can be handy. But also frustrating. I'm not entirely sure why FB thinks I need to see my friends' conversations with their friends, who are complete strangers to me. Does that happen to you? It makes me feel like I'm being nosy when I don't want to be.

That said, I'm taking a little break from it because it can be such a time vampire. :lol:

I mainly use my FB for keeping up with my family; my mom is not American, so basically half the family is overseas...FB is so convenient for such things! It was also useful during my undergrad; some classmates and I created study groups there to schedule study sessions/post helpful articles/remind each other of quiz and test dates/post notes for students who had missed a lecture or lab.

I'm also now in a number of virtual running clubs, so I keep up with some running things there as well.  ^.^

Yes, I Facebook! :D
I have a Twitter page too, but Facebook usage is overtaking it now. XD I have found several family members through the years but now it's more about keeping up with online friends who share similar passions/hobbies.

Would love to make new FB friends! PM me and let's chat over there! :)

It's a good source for news and a way to check in on my family but I don't often make posts myself outside of discussion groups.

I've been on Facebook for almost 8 years. I reconnected with some great childhood friends and even met my best friend there :) I do not have any family on it though. I post pretty regularly and am in a lot of groups so I'm really active on it.

Also have a Twitter but I lost interest and my account just sits there now :lol:

I'm on Facebook more than I like to admit. Thinking of taking a little break from it.

I mainly use it for keeping up with family but all I really post "publicly" (just to my friends) is photos of my dolls/ponies, my daily photo (I'm doing 365), and... "share" (I think that's what its called?) photos of Yellowstone/rescued bats in care.

Most people probably get sick of it and delete me xD Its a great way to weed out people who really don't care at all.

I use it to keep up with friends. Since I met most of my friend online or through anime conventions, they don't live close by and facebook is how we stay in touch. I also have a lot of my fanfiction readers who have added me on facebook.

I don't have my family added, and I tell them that I don't facebook. Probably because I'm in the closet and I post tons of gay pride under the friends only filter.

I check facebook multiple times per day to see what friends and family are up to, but I actually post things maybe once a week, if that. I usually only post if I have news or I have something I want to share.  I also change my  profile/cover pic on a seasonal basis.  :).

I don't do facebook, my space, twitter, snap chat or anything social network.  The only type of social I do is message boards.  I have no interest in the other stuff.

I got a Facebook when it was brand new, but in 2010 I deleted (yes, ACTUALLY deleted -- a task that is actually hard to do) my account because there were so many things legally WRONG with the website I couldn't have my personal information on there anymore. For one thing, around that time they began the whole thing where someone can create a group and add anyone they want to the group. Some random person added me to a Nazi support group and I was so furious I almost exploded (not at the random person, who was obviously a troll, but at Facebook for allowing that to happen).

I have since created a new "fake" facebook to keep up with pony friends, but I'm almost never on there and my page is pretty barren.

I don't use Facebook or any other social media.
I have whatsapp and wechat to communicate with people and share photos, that's more than enough for me.

I spend most of my time actually on Facebook... and am in a lot of various hobby groups on there.  I'm pretty active. ^^;
