Social Networking Madness

I am curious: I would like to know how many of you guys out there social network, using Facebook, Twitter or Myspace. Some people I have met can't get off of it, and others are vehemently opposed. So in my poll, select the answer that suits you best, then make a post saying howmuch and why you use that/those partiular networking sites.


I myself don't social network at all. I've heard too many stories about atuff that has happened online. Many of my friends keep bugging me to sign up. So let me know how you feel about the whole idea.

I use facebook, and myyearbook. I don't stay on them long, never more a few seconds as I instantly become bored.

I use facebook, I may check it once every 2 days to catch up with people.

EDIT: And msn on rare occasions.

Myspace like a boss.

Same here, Facebook. I stopped using chat programs after ICQ, but I do use Skype for moderating here and nothing else (no IRL people on it).

I find things like Facebook excellent for those of my friends who live extremely far away, or are always changing their numbers for one reason or another, etc. It's easy to be like "hey, I'm having a bbq, send me your address" or see how they are doing half way across the world. One of my best friends for 15 years moved away and I couldn't find them until Facebook. Now we see each other twice a year.

I do have my own blog but I don't publish it (no it's not under AbstractAngel) so it's more my own personal collection with easy referencing.

Anything else is kinda meh. I don't really use anything because I don't see a point. If I know you and want to talk to you, I'll call or you will. We will go out, or make plans to attend a concert or party together. I don't need to ask you how your day was seven different ways when I could be out doing things. *pant pant pant* :soapbox:

Guys. Lets not start this in EVERY thread please.

Awwww man that was so perfect, I wanted to see the response.

Not a fan of social networking sites. I may or may not have one or two [inactive accounts], though.

I used to use Myspace, but switched over to facebook since I don't have to wait an insane amount of time for peoples pages to load. I usually get on once before work and once after, just to catch up on what everyone is doing.
Most of the people I have as friends are people I grew up with or people I met while in the Marines.

...isn't THIS a social networking site?

Hmm.

Guess I'd better go explore. Lessee... facepalm dot com?

I have two Facebooks. One for myself and one for trolling. I can only stomach a minute of it as everyone posts every thing that happens every minute.

I have five facebook accounts, none of which use my complete full name, and all of which I use for trolling.

You're a god among men, Trog.

I have Facebook.

What stuff are you talking about that's happening online? It all comes down to you being responsible for your own actions online. Don't be ignorant and post pictures up that can get you fired from work, put statuses that gets your friends mad, or add too many personal details of your life.

I don't see why having one is so wrong, if you want it then go for it - if not then leave it alone. :)

Not into social networking, though not adamantly against it. Just too lazy I guess.

i use my msn and a bit of facebook and its good to catch up with my mates and friends who have moved away or my evony mates!

I chat with people on MSN but I have an account on Facebook too. Nothing annoys me more than seeing the same girls constantly going on about how their life is so awful though.

Evony.com is a MMORTS game...
The evony forums CAN BE USED for social networking, but its purpose is not social networking


I chose all of the above... I additionally cant wait for diaspora, and I am working on my own evony flavored social networking site...

Oh you got me..... LOL. I do almost all of them as well.
But you get my point (hopefully). If the only reason you don't want to get a facebook is because you're worried then follow my simple suggestions ;D

I dont really social network. My business is my business and I want it to stay that way. Been the recipient of too many sick twisted and warped pranks and seen many more too, so I prefere to keep my mouth shut so to speak. Its not funny when the fire brigade, ambulance, police, and about 50 various small businesses from takeaway to tree removalists rock up to ya doorstep within a 30minute time period, neither is it when they start trying to bill you for wasting their time.

roflmao + Rep for you!
