Don't have facebook or phone either. The forced notion seems a stretch on first thought, but having lived through the evolution of plastic tender, have to say it's a very interesting perception and who knows what power virtual social networking will hold three or four decades from now.


 Good for you  :plus: for being  :viking: and not following the pack

Opps your the one that doesn't want the  :plus:  will  :minusevil: later to even you out but you get the idea

I got a facebook because I decided to make one , not sure how that makes me "following the pack" , unless you mean those who feel pressured into making one?
I'll just diagnose myself as Goddess of the Universe and have done with it. Hell with autism!  :green: :zoinks:

nice is just something written on biscuits.

All I know is that my ex pressured me to get one. Got rid of it as soon as we broke up as I didn't want it in the first place.
Existence actually has two broad meanings despite its apparent meaningless. The constant reconciliation of all its parts, and the conservation of any closed system as a whole.

Morality can be extrapolated from these meanings to make these two commandments of godless morality: 1). Be in harmony with one another and 2). Care for the environment.

I have a few friends on FB. I'm not there a lot.
It annoys me that recently FB keeps asking for my mobile number, to enhance security. Why would I be more secure if they know my phone-number?

Don't know if FB is doing this too, but a online community like Hyves now offers the option to send postcards to someone. So, someone that has found you on Hyves, can send you real mail, without knowing your address, that information will stay at Hyves.

I don't know if I would be happy with mail like that. Think I wouldn't. Would come across as somewhat stalkerish.

I think they want your mobile number so if you try and reset your password they text a confirmation code to it that must be re-entered into FB.  That way someone trying to hack your FB account would also need possession of your mobile phone to pull it off.

Yes your info is available for everyone on Facebook, but you still choose on what info they see. If you don't want people to know, then don't fucking post it you wanker!

It's the same with the internet in general, despite what a website may say about keeping info private there is ALWAYS a risk of it being accessed. Use some common sense, for fuck sake.

Yeah, I figured that out. But, giving that info also opens up all kinds of other hacking.

I haven't had a Facebook in a while. I don't like mixing my worlds. I mean, I don't want my aunt to see all the crosdressers I talk to online. And I really don't give 2 shits if someone has a dr appointment or has a mood update. My friends know how to get in touch with me.

Only one person from school knows me on Facebook and I would like it to stay that way, school was a nightmare. I have about 20-something friends on Facebook, most of them are family.

Now I have 50 friends on Facebook. Some are distant cousins. Some are people from here.

I don't actually post much, more I like posts or make comments.
