Default Facebook? Love it or hate it...

Personally, I find it great for sharing stuff with my friends and family overseas, like photos and what's going on on both sides of the world, but the rest of it is just plain ****!!!

I am with Cousin. It took someone forever to convince me to get facebook, purely for the reasons above: photos, sharing stuff with family overseas and friends in other states/countries.

All the applications do annoy me also, I like how now you can mass ignore requests, which blocks invitations from that point on.

This sums it up for me: YouTube - Facebook Anthem

I like it, its good for checking out whats happened to people you used to go to school with. Its funny seeing who is gay, who has 6 kids to 5 different daddys, who is now bald and fat, who is bum etc...

I agree! It is just a way for people to look at other people doing stupid poses...and most of the people I see at uni on it are just having a perve. I can understand some people using it to catch up with old friends/share photos etc, but the majority of people are on there because they are a peeping tom.

I use it to catch up with my family living in the UK, and keep in touch with mates from school that I haven't seen in a while.

I just hate people who send out invitations for every app on the planet, and people who feel the need to add everyone they may have ever bumped into in their life, even if it was only for 2 minutes.

Well facebook is better, but myspace is easier to randomly browse pictures of hot ladies

i use it. ive found quite a few people from primary school that i had lost contact with, and also old mates from america when i used to live over there. can also waste a bit of time on a few of the applications, but i hate the pointless ones. i use ones like quizzes and trivia, and they keep me awake a bit at work lol.
the emails do get annoying. ill open my inbox and have about 50 new ones. most are pointless like - "someone viewed your profile. that is all" .....good for them.

haha, I turned all the email notifications off after about 5 minutes of having an account.

Agreed though, scary to know that the hot people have gotten ugly and the ugly ones have gotten hot. And also scary to see some of the people from primary school that were a bit slow, are now in sucessful careers.

I found it handy to find an old friend I found uncontactable for 5 years.

Other than that not very useful.

without sounding nasty or anything, how can you hate something you have never joined or used? i's a bit like saying you hate pinaple and havnt actualy tried it to develop a idea for it.



on a side note, i got a face book, pretty lame, i found it interesting, i put a fishtank in there and sent my wife some fish, kept me amuzed for a little bit, then i lost interest.
