Now, I dont think I am that daft. But, what is the point in facebook?? ::) :P
Being bitten by vampires and the like, throwing chocolate cakes, and writing on 'walls'?? I just dont understand how, or why to use it?? :-[
Anybody tell me what i am supposed to do on there :-/ :y
-
I am glad i am not the only one who thinks this way :y
I have an account but it just doesn't float my boat at all, in fact some of it i feel is a bit weird.

Yep! Weird... and a tad on the sad side :-/ :-X
I just dont get it?? Mrs Psycho spends about 5 hours a day on there!! Playing low quality games that involve vampires, zombies or the living dead!
i have tried it. But cant work it or see how it would benefit me in any way ;)
Well i am glad somebody agrees anyway :y

I use it purely for keeping up with friends and distant relatives :)
Half the applications (when I get invites) I block instead of just selecting ignore...

Nup i dont get it either, that or Bebo or MSN or Skype.
Im actually about 40 years older than i actually am and dont understand what you youngsters do :-[
-
i also hate the crappy applications that are built.
Main reason is to keep in contract with what freinds are doing, its great for finding old school friends too.
Not bad for chatting up ladies too
-
like most other people i just use it to keep in touch with friends and relatives. skype and msn are a much cheaper way for me to talk to our kid in dubai, costs me £1.70p a min to phone her.dont really bother with any of the apps or games on there tho.

:o :o Dubai is ridicolous! I remember it cost me £4.05..... for a can of diet coke!! Bet the full sugar version would have bankrupt me! ;D
-
the only thing i use msn for is talking to my old school mate from 25, erm years ago. :-?

Basically Psychnurse you gain friends, join groups, enter into chat, send messages and "gifts", just to make you feel part of the "young"world. :D ;)
The trouble is, like me, you are a mature person and so much that goes on on Facebook is by and for teenagers / 20 year olds so it IS hard to join in to what often seems to us silly antics! ::) ::) ::)
As I am in amoungst the aforementioned age groups at uni I have somehow (probably due to my young mind and heart!! ;D ;D) been able to join in and have some fun within the Groups I have joined, talking to many people across the world. 8-) 8-)
It is just an escape from reality really though, and definatley NOT for everyone! :D :D :D ;)

fair comment Lizze. :y
I just dont understand all the gifts, games and antics. I have tried.... and my mind is conditioned to well.... lets be honest some kind of weird stuff! ;D
They promote such sites to MH patients... which is great it gives them contact with friends, family and the wider world.
but also leads to very horrible and nasty comments that are down right derogatory >:(
But... such is normality. :y

I'm in the "I don't understand what it's all about" camp.
I don't want to write on anybody else's wall, and I certainly don't want people writing on mine. What does "poke" mean in this context? I'm definitely not going to poke anyone. >:(
My younger son won't let me be his friend and has made himself invisible to me. My daughter has let me be her friend, but the exchanges I've seen between her and her other friends just irritate me because they seem to be juvenile ravings. Which is odd, given that she's a 29 year old hospital doctor.
I can't see what possible attraction it can have for anyone of even moderate intellect over the age of about 19. But I'm obviously wrong. I ran into a former colleague the other day. He's a 47 year old bachelor of decidedly monastic tendencies who works as an IT contractor. He suggested we keep in touch by way of Facebook. I can't do it - it's too bloody silly. I'll stick to e-mail. :(

And i`m with you. Traditionalist myself - If i want to talk to someone i will phone them, not text them.
I use email for business.
The most extreme method of communication i go to is this site :-/ ;D

All the best with your studies. I am sure you are doing well, as the intelligent and diligent person that you are.

;) Actually, I did consider a period of post-doctoral iuvenilis! ;D
I quite enjoy the superficiality of Facebook; yes, it`s shallow, but for 'keeping in touch' with distant relations/contacts without having to write at length: it has it`s uses.
I don`t use the silly, Facebook 'applications': just use private group features of 'What or how I`m/they`re doing' and 'picture albums'
Skype (or any VoIP) is a total 'no-brainer': whom wants to have to pay for international `phone calls? ;)

I agree. Just have to rid of the applications and ruddy zombies that seem to dominate my facebook!
Have tried to explain that I do not want zombies, werewolves, or killer scarecrows... but peps do it all the more ;D ;D

I used it at first to join the Company's group, to get in the click so to speak, soon met up with a load of old friends,
My biggest use is sharing pics and video's from the social side of work with abusing the internal systems,
PS feel free to add me :p

Though I do ignore wolfs, vampires , etc my self too :)

my facebook is pretty much just a basic online profile about me, some pics of me and interests, friends, stuff like that
none of the bull**** applications, and no direct contact info, just there so i can keep in touch with people!
must admit, boosted social life a bit cos it automatically shows up events and stuff that i might have missed out on

Never used Facebook -- never want to, get international phone calls free with my provider anyway, so Skype is out.
I use my mobile for -- you guessed it -- making and receiving phone calls .... and it took me years to conceed to that !!
In short, I am a social outcast :-[
