Good.

Being on a different side of the globe than my friends and family, it keeps me connected with them...

I don't really care about it either way. If people want to use it, good for them, but if I can't talk to people I know face-to-face, I'd much rather do it over the phone or IM.

I'm indifferent. I don't use it to socialize as much, but to play those ridiculous games.

those stupid games were my main reason for avoiding it when facebook was just starting up

I did use myspace because I loved changing up the music on my page every now and then. But when myspace realized that it was a sinking ship and decided to bring over those stupid apps that I would get invited to and always had to decline. I gave up on myspace.

I made a facebook page because of peer pressure from friends. I made the page would add them then never log in much again until I needed to add someone else. Only recently like the start of this year have I fully embraced facebook and started using it more.

facebook is pretty boring unless you do something with it regularly. like the scrabble for me, i usually have about 10-15 games on the go atany one time and need to make my turn. holy cows, what a time waster :)
The old groups kind of sucked because you received no notification with them and simply forgot about them. But the new ones do,, so that's good if you're into the groups.

I like it for the most part, although I'm not on it nearly as much as I used to be.

I got a Facebook back in 2005...when there were no apps, no Facebook IM, and only college students were able to use it. At my college, it was mainly used to email homework answers to one another, and organize parties. I really think that's when it peaked for me, to be quite honest.

that's when I first created mines too but I didn't use it that often back then either but I loved that everyone used to put their phone numbers in their profiles more often. So easy to pick up on hot females and just ring them up.

Yeah - it was also really cool to be able to put the dorm you lived in on your profile. Study partners, poker games, etc. etc...Facebook was awesome when it was just for college students!

what are you saying, then the rest of us had to come in and stink it up? :)
That's neat though.
The last year of my degree was spent with the same 21 folks, every class, several hours a day, so we had a group in there and had a great little family going.

lol pretty much...when they opened it up to the public so they could steal myspace users that's when it went downhill.
