I'm sure there's been a thread about this before, but I just read on Digg something about adding a new "Place" feature and it just seems to me like facebook tries to promote non-privacy. That and the whole concept just seems like a waste of time. I can see it having it's uses for keeping in touch, but nothing that email/IMing couldn't do.
Thoughts?

Personal, I'm really non emotional about it.

But then I got in touch with a bud I hadn't heard from in almost 20 years. And now I feel a bit better connected with my Canadian college friends.
So I guess it's okay. I do get tired of all those "friend" requests from people I don't even know.

Facebook has become a huge part of people's lives and I dont see why.
I recently asked someone if their laptop was 64-bit, and they said "hold on let me check my fb" and that just burned me. Why is that on facebook? People.
It's through many little irritations like these and seeing almost everyone in my classes logged into facebook throughout that just bothers me to no end... So IM/email for me!

There's a blatant overuse of it, but then again I don't blame cars for bad drivers.

I dunno- there are people I'd like to communicate with there, but I'm guessing there are just as many I do NOT want to deal with. There's also the learning curve- I've never done it so I'd be pretty lost for awhile. I'd be indifferent but the vast majority of my musical contacts are on it ALL THE TIME, and I'm often out of the loop because I don't tweet, FB, MySpace or any of the other crap like that. What- voicemail/email & actual human contact aren't enough? I'm so 20th century...

|  | User | | Join Date: May 2007 Location: East Coast | | | I like it. I've regained contact with people I lost touch with years ago, promoted shows and got a rough headcount really easily, and contacted friends of friends who seemed interesting. Artists, Photographers, a beautiful woman who plays bass in a C&W band, an old lady in France, someone in Islamabad, a few supermodels, and some minor celebrities. I like interacting with people that I didn't even know existed from all over the world.
