Don't you think Facebook is ridiculous?

Kinda agree, I like myspace lol and dislike facebook, and ppl already text each other when there sitting next to each other all the time in class! lol

If you use it for that kind of socializing, it is ridiculous! But let's say you have 25 family members, and nobody used to send mail or call, but everyone is likely to go online. Well, you can post family pictures that they can share and print, and group announcements, instead of sending out 25 letters, and links to good articles they were in or sometimes recipes for all the diabetics in the family. THEN, if someone wants to chat with you, they call you up and walla- Facebook put to constructive use.

I use Facebook just like that- to keep in touch with what used to be a distant and shy family. Now we're getting to know each other once again, so when we do decide to call, it'll be much easier than just to call out of the blue and hope you have something in common and something to say.

In other words, things like Facebook and MySpace give shy people a way to edit what we have to say before we say it, which makes it easier to talk.

So no- Like anything else in the world, Facebook isn't any more ridiculous than the way you choose to use it.

My wife Linda (51) is a professional actress (Law and Order SVU, Starved) and uses Facebook for professional networking; as most people genuinely in the entertainment industry prefer Facebook to MySpace.

However, Linda prefers MySpace (over Facebook) for fun.

I agree that some teens use Facebook in a rather trivial manner

I really like facebook because i have gotten in touch with people who i have lost contact eg: primary/middle/higher school friends.

Nope. I agree with you. People who use facebook 24/7 need to geta life

Nope. I have got in touch with dozen of old friends I had lost contact with.

I like the way you voice your concerns...so artificial. lol

I enjoy facebook. Its especially useful when I have a big event coming up and need to contact multiple people at once.

you being on yahoo answers is just as ridiculous. honestly though, i'm not into facebook either. i have an account with nothing on it and i have no desire to use the site even though people tell me to on a daily basis.

Yes, personally I agree with you completely.

It's probably just a fad, who knows....

na ah fb is NOT super-ridiculous

it's SUPER - raNdOM lol! : D

i have 504 friends, and i luv talking w/ them all
