    well i thought it was a waste off time till this week when someones cat got run over outside my house ,so i took it to the vets
    and when i got home my son put it on his facebook page and the owner contacted him through facebook and got there cat back.
    it also saved the rspca from paying the bill for treatment.

    I think there are people who are so sad and dim, that they needed to invent and join it in their millions, little do they know that there are bodies who steal every little information on them, their friends, their families, and eventually they will become victim of cyber crime, ****in serves them right for being a mug by joining endless number of social networ sites, I think the future of our planet is grim as everyone will eventually end up joing these sites and our earth will become overweight with 10 billion coach potatoes! and it will spin out of its orbit and that will be the end of mankind as we know! God please save us from facebook.

    Edit: garymanc....intersting though, it helped reunite someone's cat with its owner, but technology already exists that can do this without facebook, its called RFID chip and silly owners of cats like me should chip their pets! We don't need facebook! thank god it is banned in China I beleive.

    I use Facebook all the time - mainly for staying in touch with friends and family and playing the free online games.

    What I don't agree with are the people who air their dirty laundry in public, those who constantly whinge about everything and sheep shaggers who have endless photographs of cute girls they have spent all weekend partying with !

    Its a tool that you can use to your advantage. If you don't want the world knowing your business, don't post it. If you want photographs to just be restricted to family, theres a setting for that. If you want your profile to be invisible so nobody can find it except those you want to - not a problem.

    If you don't want anyone to post on your wall - thats easily done as well.

    Facebook can be as time consuming as you want it to be or you can log on once or twice a week / month / year to see whats happening.

    But we did managed and remained in contacts with our friends and family for years, using phones, telegrams, and even smoke signals! If Mike had set upn a Mightyweb instead of Migweb, may be this would have been another social network site as it really is for a small community of Vauxhall enthusiasts.

    Re: i hate facebook, but...

    Im not on it anymore, gf caught me flirting a number of times on it, arguments went on for a while, eventually i gave in and closed my account down, that was about 3 years ago. Can't say ive missed it that much, but you do feel abit out of touch with mates if they're all on it and your not. I liked finding long lost mates and some banter but it does eat into your life alot.
    And the biggest thing i hated about it the most was the endless gloating and boasting mainly by girls........We're going on holiday here, we' ve got a new car, we've bought a new speedboat...... oh f*ck off!
    Some people ( nosey f*ckers) just use it to keep tabs on people they know and how well they're doing in the ratrace, i cant be arsed with all kind of thing. There will be a backlash im sure, i hope lol

    Pointless load of wank for (mostly) moronic people who think blabbing their personal details on the internet makes them famous. Oh, let's not forget the ones who post messages about nipping to the shops for 10 L&B or to complain that their neighbour's daughter's boyfriend's sister is a slag.

    most of the 'social' sites are made for people with.....no social life. our neighbour has a couple of twitter accounts and keeps chatting about us and other neighbours, most of us are just waiting for the pratt to make one more comment and then it will be good to see how some 70 year old perv can tpye on twitter when his laptop is sideways up his arse.

    sometime facebook, twitter ect can be good for highlighting business but one wrong comment can screw you up.

    Re: i hate facebook, but...

    My mate suggested me to join MySpace in 2004, saying it was awesome, which it wasn't. She then said 'Use facebook' in 2007 and 'used' it for a couple of years, and then closed my account for a year, before opening a new account a few months ago. I've found it a good way of keeping in touch with people who I'd normally have difficulty in doing. I'm not active on it at all, but it's good when someone posts something interesting up, which is rarely.
    I've got back in touch with about 5 mates who I lost touch with years ago.
    Agree with the relentless compulsive posting though. The amount of people I've blocked for the 20 updates a day of just rubbish. I also know of people who have 1,500 friends on there! I only have about 70 who I'd consider a friend - what's the point in adding anyone you've even had a fleeting contact with? Each to their own, I don't think it's that bad, but some people could do with giving it a rest.

    oh...also what make me cringe is the line....

    'off on our holidays for a week in spain'....ect

    which converts to...

    'our house is empty, please come and do it over and take all our stuff, oh and because we have put this on our profile it also invalidates any insurance we have'

    Oh and Dianna Abbotts should have better sense being a politician and making racists comments on her tweet ! serves her right for being a two faced tweet. Her resignation is imminent.

    thanks to tweet her true colours came out.

    Re: i hate facebook, but...

    Facebook is for the socially retarded.

    Friends of mine keep telling me to join it and they can never justify why I should. I am in contact with them face to face, on email, phone, text or I nip round as I know where they live.

    I honestly fail to see the point in it? So I can 'catch up' with people I used to go to school with? If I was remotely arsed about them or got along with them then I would be in contact with them anyway, we didn't keep in contact for whatever reason - let's leave it that way.

    I joined twitter and made 1 'tweet' when trying to troll Joey Barton. That's bollocks too. I got an email letting me know some Taff called Kev had started following me on twitter...how the heck Kev_G knew I registered I will never know? I haven't logged in since that first pissed up night.

    Migweb has a f-connect button on its top bar too! Also it seems like people can't have a decent crap without being on tweet and facebook via their iphones whilest having a crap.

    Re: i hate facebook, but...

    I think facebook's great, slate me if you like...i dont care, i go out & socialise & i have a good job before you try stereotyping me. I use it for keeping in contact with people who i often see, posting pics of my car & nights out etc, my profile is closed so no tom dick or harry can see what im saying. People who misuse it & are daft enough to slate their employers get what they deserve tbh & i hate people who are constantly moaning & airing their dirty washing in public, these get deleted pretty quick. Only have friends on my list who i actually know & speak to. If you dont wanna use it then dont but don't slate the people who do use it just because you dont....rant over

    I only added one person from school, he was my best mate in secondary. I added him and spoke to him in the first time in 20 years, and it was like 'Hi, how you doing?' 'It's OK, I've been depressed, I'm manically depressed and it's ruined my life, etc etc', so I said something like 'Jesus, if you ever want to talk about it, we can meet up or whatever', and that was the last time I heard from him!

    There's some bollocks about Facebook having a value of $100 billion, which would mean every member is worth $125. Let's face it, it has no real value apart from selling your private data and advertising. I can't believe the **** people put on there, and there's no way someone isn't using all that data for some kind of profiling/cataloguing.
