    Facebook…it’s a great way to reconnect with old friends, but it’s also a huge waste of time. You can start your new career as a Facebook Stalker!

    I’m torn between jumping on the bandwagon… and wanting to keep my privacy. I don’t know… seems iffy. I ask myself… do I really want to extend my online life further?

    Sitting on the fence.

    I have avoided all of the social network sites but I know I need to so I can increase my readership…

    I have an account on Facebook as well but after a while, I got sick of getting invites from people I don’t care about or haven’t talked to for over ten years. Most of the time, they don’t even realize that they added me to their list. I spend too much time on the ‘net already. That time should be used for fitness or making money.

    Nice, I can’t tell you how much of a pain-in-the-ass that was!

    Facebook is great for university students, because you meet so many people that it is hard to keep track of them all. The social aspect of the site is very prominent and unreplacable, but a lot of student users will not put up with wanton users or random advertisements. Advertising a blog on facebook some how seems like it would take away some of the value facebook currently has for students and others that use it.

    Yeah it’s great… sometimes you find people you haven’t seen in years.

    [...] To Facebook or not to Facebook – Ed Lau just posted this question this morning and to be honest, I’ve been thinking about the same thing. I’m annoyingly tired of sifting through the garbage they call MySpace, Friendster’s a joke now and Bunkers Paradise just isn’t finished yet! What is a stalker, er, friend suppose to do these days to find people? [...]
