Exactly! I use Yahoo, it's like Google but not as good, but it's not Google so that makes it better. I spit on you Google for being good, and Apple I wouldn't even spit on.

I am still finding weird that people feel such a need to defend not being on Facebook.
It's a bit like having five pages of people defending why they don't go to Marks and Spencer!
I don't get why it is such an emotive, divisive issue?

I set up the original Scoobynet forum on Facebook. The previous owners of this BBS were not best pleased!

Better having a hobby as said rather than getting drunk.
And what's wrong with having a caravan on the drive?
Sounds unreasonable to me as if someone can't afford to live in a good area and lives e.g. in a council estate (not by choice but due to circumstances) does that mean he gets rejected?

I use it pretty much everyday.
I have family in N Wales, Essex, Oz and friends spread all over the world, an old pen friend in Germany and a lot of friends in the US.
I'm not one for sharing my life on there, but it is a very good and easy way (with an I phone ) of sharing pictures and videos.
I have private folders set up for Uncle Sye, The Mummy's, etc and they are all set so that certain people can see them.
I am not one for playing games on there, and it's not everyones cup of tea, but it is the way forward.

Your mention of private folders is a good point. If you are a user you should be putting 'Friends' into groups and using those groups to limit access to content. Just makes sense.

May be, its just something to talk about, nothing serious, I dunno.
In all fairness, Facebook does have its uses. Even many politicians, universities, and police use them, thinking that all people from the world are gabbing on it. What I mean is that they are not too far from being right. In favour of Facebook, many bands are on Facebook and Myspace type of things, many other businesses promote themselves through such media. I think some people may be old fashioned, or simply choose not to recognise social mingling on Facebook for their valid enough reasons, and thats okay, too. Its a personal preference to use Facebook or any other social media network as an individual, really. One need not add cyberstrangers to their network, one can stay as reserved as poss on Facebook, if they want to. One can even use a pseudonym for their identity, if they want to. But then again, one has to have time to be here, there, everywhere; in all fairness.

I cannot imagine being without it now. It's my window to the outside world!

Good for you. Most of my photos are available for 'Friends of Friends' I like sharing images and video anyhow and Facebook does it very well. I have people involved in my hobbies in separate groups in an attempt at not boring Friends and Family too much, the new Groups are removing my need to have links with people I may only have met once which keeps the numbers down.
For businesses being able to target friends of friends who may be interested in a particular service is simple, cost effective and brilliantly executed. Start a Page and try it, interesting what you can do.

I'm on there. I find it handy to keep photos I set the album to 'Only me' so no one can see them. And they don't get deleted like they do on photobucket
And if my hard drive dies I wont have to bother to try and get the photos from it as all of them are in a private album on FB.

For all those who use FB to keep in touch with friends and family that have moved far far away, have you ever thought that you may have been the reason these people moved far far away?
Generally there is a reason why I don't see people often, mainly because I don't like them.

Someone I knew from school/college who basically nobody liked (he was annoying and regularly threw his toys out the pram if he didn't get his own way). Alot of us tolerated him him hanging round, but many avoided getting too pally with him because of his excessive self-importance and being so ultra competative but I guess he considered alot of us "friends". He always had to "win" at everything, if he didn't, he'd change the rules so he could, or throw a big strop, so it made it impossible to challenge him at anything for fear of him throwing a six (be it a game of pool, or just a debate).
Long and short of it is the next thing I hear is a snobby comment on friends re-united, saying good riddance to all the backstabbers and is now so happy to get "real" freinds.
I guess he meant us being the backstabbers. The only thing we're guilty of (me at least) was not telling him of what I truely thought of him. The world didn't revolve around him, so everyone just went about their own live and just left/excluded him out of it, which is just a polite way of saying f**k off.
Tripped across him on FB and he's now a goth code monkey that lives in Scotland. :freak:
