caused me to ask everyone's opinion here of facebook and myspace. i just had a big conversation with my brother's wife about this, i am tired of people pressuring me to join. i will not. ever. period. this aggravated me even more tonight, reading that fb and ms are not cooperating fully with authorities in kidnapped VA girl matter. there is a goldmine of useful info on those sites. employers, perverts, creditors, stalkers, investigators, & authoritieslove that shit! and they won't cooperate in a kidnapping/life or death situation??? shit, they don't keep half their members' info private anyway. they say they do. but they always screw up. you think they're secure? yes virginia, there is a santa claus.
my brother's wife had no answer for my question when i was getting pressured yet again....why the hell do i need them to stay in touch with family and friends or send photos blah blah? why do i need a middleman? she said we'd talk more. we already talk. she said other family members are on there. well i already talk to them too on email. so what is the big fat fucking deal with these sites?
oh, i know...i need to go "friend" some total fucking strangers. i don't have enough people to talk to.
New to this thread so Im catching up!
I know I can tell you .... for a VERY long time I THOUGHT I NEEDED to be on FB! I felt like it was my way to stay in touch ... what I figured out is that I never really kept in touch that I missed anyway, anyone that I could and WANTED to reach I could reach any "normal" way. I hate that fb and ms are used to create this "good fucking image" of people and their lives. You never see anyone posting " I cant pay my mortgage this month" ... nor should they. Just so fucking crazy. ANother way for people to follow you and your doings or for YOU to follow another. I think social networks are as fake as they are meant to be!
