Only girls take pictures in my exerience. Literally not one guy I know carries around a camera at parties, or takes pictures on their phone or whatever. Not sure if that's just here though. I've never tagged myself in a picture either.

I think its an age thing. I am 17 how old are you if you don't mind me asking.

I have around 3-4 friends that I text, and all of the others I talk to on Facebook. For me, it's perfect. Most of them I like contacting every now and then, and can keep in touch with, but am not close enough with to wanna give them my number. I also get to mingle in the fragrance community, which is fantastic.

21. It was the same through high school too though.

Well I'm on facebook whenever I have time.
Same goes with forums and MSN Messenger.
I'm not the kind of person who HAS to check his e-mail and so on.
Now that I have a blackberry it will happen, regardless of if I want to. But that doesn't mean I'm looking at it all friggin' day. When I'm at a festival or with friends, I just don't care. When I have to do something more important, I'll check it later.
Doesn't change the fact that I do see a lot of people around me who are somewhat addicted to facebook and other social networking sites. I think I can safely say I'm not. But I'm glad they're there! Most of my friends live far away from me so it's easy keeping an eye on how they're doing without having to call them every day. That wouldn't be doable.

So I like facebook, but if it ****s with your daily business, it's a good idea not to use it alltogether

I pretty much only log in to Facebook when I get an email alert that someone has messaged me or sent me a friend request. It's useful for staying connected with family and old classmates who I otherwise might lose touch with but other than that I find it pretty useless. I've never understood those people who are on it all the time.

Exactly what you said; Useful for staying connected with people that are hard to stay in touch with because your lives are so different. It's sort of a worldwide forum to me. You can post stuff and people will read it and reply to it. I've had quite a few real life meetings since I've started actively using facebook (since this spring or something).
Another thing that's neat; It's easy to upload pics from my BB to Facebook so it's quite nice to share interesting stuff you see, immediately. The "oh I really have to tell *insert name* about this" has gotten an entirely new definition.

Also I've added a 'now playing' photo album to facebook. Whenever I play a record, I just take a picture of the record player and the sleeve, like so:

And it's nice to get replies to that

facebooks just a waste of time unless you use it n the right way...connect with people that are not apart of your eery day life

I've been using Facebook less and less throughout this year and now I barely use it at all only to wish some people a happy birthday or for event invitations. Some of my friends are doing the same and it makes me realise that not only has Facebook had it's day in the sun but social networking in general. I have a Google+ account and to be honest I've done nothing with it, haven't even uploaded a profile picture, because I just have no interest in it and I don't see it offering anything that Facebook hasn't already.

I can't bring myself to delete my Facebook account at the moment so I'll keep it for now and just look at it occasionally. I've been through MySpace, Bebo and now Facebook and I've no problem going back to the way things were before all those came along, unless something new and different comes along that's worth my time.

i was rabidly commenting on people's statuses for a while

then MB happened and fb has been relegated to pokes, only "urgent" messages and photos (and no, I don't take pics of me eating a sandwich)
