Your Opinion on Facebook

How so?

Facebook isn't anonymous. I'm not sure how posting on the Warpath is anything like Facebook, aside from the fact they're both on the internet.

I have no desire whatsoever to join Facebook. Most of my friends are on there, and you know what? I still keep up with them just fine. Between email and text messages, that's enough. It's just such a huge time suck. When I was on MySpace, I would get sucked in and next thing I knew I had been in front of the computer for like 2 hours.

Plus like Schneed says- all the privacy issues are a big turn-off - Facebook "accidentally" leaks access to user names and passwords, etc etc. No thanks. I just don't feel any need to put my business out there, even if I can control the privacy settings (right up until Facebook screws up and has yet another privacy breakdown).

I created a GMScud profile on Facebook so now I just pretend to be you on there :)

I think the huge time suck thing is sort of what you make of it. I mean if you get caught up in the games and all that then yeah but if you just check it on occassion as a quick way to catch up with friends and family then it's not so much, in my opinion. One thing it's good for, in my opinion, is as a shared photo album with friends and family.

Says the guy who posts on a message board with total strangers

To be honest if my job did not put me infront of a computer all day I'd probably have under 200 post here. Not that I don't like posting here its just that I do not spend much time infront of a computer when I'm not at work. Just look at my post history. I'm joking when I say its gay its just not for me. I have plenty of friends who have a FB account and I joke on them as well.

This basically answers the question how this board is different then being on FB. Good job GM!

To me facebook is cyber small talk, I hate when someone calls me from the past out of the blue and you have to go through your life story about what has been going on.

I am horrible with staying in touch with folks. If you are "in my life" right now great but once we move on good luck to you.

Actually that's probably the way I would have tried spelling that word.

This place is configured differently, but they're both virtual communities, this place just has a more focused niche.

What's that.
