Unfortuanetley, yes I do. Overuse of social networks is the plauge of this generation. People sold their souls to sites like facebook and myface or whatever the sites called a long time ago. They silently steal your social skills, and overall intelligence and creativity. Basically, if you overuse it, it's gonna shrivel up your brain.
Relative to the people I know, I dont use it much. I dont consistentley ask people I dont even know for 'inboxes' or for someone to 'facebook marry' me. I only use it for certaint groups, to meet up with a mate and to show my friends my poetry/writting/drawings.


Well said.

I don't have facebook. Sometimes I think I would like to have an account, but I just value my privacy too much.

4 pages about "friendface" must be some kind of record :lol: . I've been a FB member since 2006. It does have some merit in that there are many people on there from the music world. As a social network it works better for some than others. Participation isn't required. Having a page is just that. Use it when you need to, don't "like", "join", or "click" on any "apps" and you'll be all good.

Totally agree. And you are free not to accept all the 'friends' asking . After a short while I quit thinking of my 'friends' there as friends- more like acquaintances. If you don't like their behavior , you can 'fire' them , or block them out. And you (we) should know who is or friends in real life....

Well said. I raised all my security settings. I hardly post anything new. I change my name regularly, I don't use my photo as a profile picture. The only people that can see my photos are my friends.
Let any snooper put up with a few weeks of my cartoon idiocy. And the other thing is, I got nothing to hide.

I started a FB account so I could access Spotify which is the only way you get into it in the U.S. Could never get it to work. Also, used it to enter some contests. My brother, my best friend and two of my three kids attempted to 'friend" me . . . but I rejected them. :oops:

Also, you put two or three pieces of info into it and it generates an alarmingly accurate list of possible friends. Creeped me right out! Big Brother really is watching. :shock:
