Hello Everyone.
Well, I've been reading up on what Facebook is, and what a Blog is. Now I can't fathom why anyone would want to use these things. I mean I only have a couple of very close friends, and I don't talk to them more than once a week.
I mean I did find an excellent purpose for twitter(instant updates now show up on my webpage when I want to announce a change I have made). I'm not using it as others may, but it does have a purpose, but facebook? I just can't get it into my head why anyone would use these things. Just pick up a phone, and make a call, or write a letter.
Oh well, maybe I'm alone in thinking this way.
Cheers guys!

I use facebook to stay in contact with family and friends that I would otherwise lose contact with.
My first cousin's daughters are in some cheerleading competition, they are doing very well. He would never call me to tell me because I could care less. But it is nice when he posts the pictures to take a quick look at how the girls are doing. So it's people that I know, that I want to continue to know, but really don't have enough to talk about.
I also use facebook as an advertising vehicle for the game.

Hi Norb.
Okay I understand. I just had a hard time trying to figure out what kids would use it for outside of posting themselves getting into fights, and trash talking.
Thanks again Norb for the reply. Cheers, and take care!

Thats what youtube is for. But in reality, I use facebook to talk to my family and friends. It also helps with setting up events and such. I don't ususally see fights on facebook because, why would you be friends with a person who you fight with? But anyways.

Hi 2nd Kentucky!
I fully understand. I just couldn't see the purpose for having a facebook account.
Cheers, and take care 2nd Kentucky.

Facebook also has its drawbacks. Like distraction and procrastination for example. I always end up on facebook, no matter why I get on the internet.
