LOL! I just dislike facebook it may be my only connection with A&W.

But if it is some people's thing then it is their thing more power to them.

Re: Your Opinion on Facebook
 

The funny thing with FB is that there is no mold for the type of users. I'd also say if you purchased any stock in FB I'd sell it when you can.

What a sham. It's a shame guys can get away with stuff like this. Rob a bank, and you get 50 years in prison. Rob the nation and billions of dollars, and you get a severance package worth hundreds of millions of dollars. The golden rule. He who steals all the gold, gets to decide on the rules.

Too cool for Facebook... yet ok with a message board? Is it more fun to talk with strangers?

Re: Your Opinion on Facebook
 

Trust me, if you all started posting the crap that's on FB, I'd leave here too.

All of those "motivational" posters saying it's great that women can be fat...all of those bathroom mirror photos you love...updates on where you are at this very moment and where you'll be in 5 minutes...pictures of your toddler on the toilet or napping with a cat...I've seen my wife's FB wall and it makes me want to throw up.


Here...it's all about football and bacon.

Re: Your Opinion on Facebook
 

It's easy enough to delete or block annoying stuff on FB. It's what you want it to be, basically.

Exactly I choose to delete everything; my non-account is exactly how I like it.

Like I said before if it your thing fine I just want no part of it.

Re: Your Opinion on Facebook
 

Matty threw this little video together as a little token of his appreciation for Facebook:

Re: Your Opinion on Facebook
 

I also dislike facebook greatly. I have an account with a picture and some basic info for the rare occassion an old friend wants to get in touch. I login once every 4 or so months to check my requests/etc. I dislike their stance on security and privacy. I understand that my personal data will be used to sell advertising -- that's fine, you have to make money. But the way they're getting into the photo recognition and selling that info complete with geotags, etc makes me nervous.

We're going to see facebooks decline in the near future. When my grandma friend requests me, a technology is pretty much dead. The younger generation is already moving away from it seeing the 'trouble' it has caused for their siblings/etc. I loved facebook when you needed a .edu address to get an account. It was perfect for staying in touch with everyone that went to different schools. Now it's filled with religious and political propoganda (on both sides) that I don't want to deal with while online.

Re: Your Opinion on Facebook
 

They also have shareholders to please now...so it's going to be a "screw the users, we're doing this for the profits" approach from here out.

I'd get ready for security features you don't like, selling of your identity and probably a ton of ads plus new features you have to pay for.


Look at how quickly Facebook replaced Myspace. Facebook will go down too. So, gee, lets buy some stock in it!

Re: Your Opinion on Facebook
 

For what its worth my 11yo daughter is begging for a FB account. Ain't happening I keep telling her.

Re: Your Opinion on Facebook
 

I think Facebook's strongest aspect is the Groups feature. We have a trail runners group of about 200 people that share race info, training schedules, medical issues, nutrition, etc all on a local level. I also post my Runkeeper activities because a few people told me it keeps them a bit motivated to go out and run when they didn't want to that day.

However, if you have to start paying for anything then I'm out.

Re: Your Opinion on Facebook
 

well, my high school reunion and whatnot were pretty much done through facebook. it's great for seeing people you havent seen in 10 years or figuring out who's hanging out in maine next week when you're stopping in...

Indeed. My first "experience" w/ Facebook years ago convinced me it wasn't worth the nonsense. A business associate I barely knew contacted me after seeing pictures on Facebook of me boating w/ a girl he liked (actually there was at least a dozen of us boating). He's old enough to be her father and it creeped all of us out. I guess "trolling" around Facebook is a common thing for creepers. Anyway, the whole thing turned me away from it...looks like things may trend back my direction now after all eh?

Re: Your Opinion on Facebook
 

Ah, so no problem with women raping young boys, but creeping on FB is a problem?

Makes sense.

Precisely. The boyhood fantasy come true vs old pathetic guy trolling around a social network on his Macbook in suspenders, boxers and knee high socks.

...think about it man.

That's still beside the point. The point is the intrusion on privacy and spying on it's on citizens.

Re: Your Opinion on Facebook
 

The article mentions this little tidbit too:

[quote=Washington Times article]
Susan Cooper, a spokeswoman for National Archives and Records Administration, said the presidential records law applies to “social media” and to public comments “received by the president or immediate staff.”

[/quote]

I'm sure this primarily applies to people who make disparaging comments about the W.H. and/or the President. Does it bother me that the W.H. might be recording these comments? No. No doubt this is probably another security/safety measure. There's a fine line between user privacy and government security, and I don't think this crosses it.

Same reason he's trolling FB...trying to hold onto "cool" into middle-age.
