Actually, not having a Facebook would be the hipster thing to do. Since Facebook is so popular.

I only friend people I know in real life though, sorry GIA89
I think of hip being what's the cool and popular thing to do (i.e. have Facebook)...different from hipsters who go against what's popular on purpose. Perhaps that's the wrong definition on my part.jasonjannajerryjohn wrote:Actually, not having a Facebook would be the hipster thing to do. Since Facebook is so popular.
Or you could just cave for the sake of your business.Laura Ingalls wrote:I would sort of like to have a page for business purposes, but I've been informed you must have a personal page first to be able to start a business page, so that's out.
You do have to have a personal page, but you don't have to use it. The first year or so I was on FB I didn't even have my profile filled in. I just uploaded a picture of a flower and set my privacy settings so that basically no one could friend me. I just ran my page from that. So that is an optionLaura Ingalls wrote:jasonjannajerryjohn wrote:Actually, not having a Facebook would be the hipster thing to do. Since Facebook is so popular.

I think hipsters go against the norm. You were even more of a rebel hipster because you went against the rules and used a character name way back at the beginning and got kicked off!Laura Ingalls wrote:I think of hip being what's the cool and popular thing to do (i.e. have Facebook)...different from hipsters who go against what's popular on purpose.

Except, that deffinition doesn't quite work nowadays, since being "Hipster" is quickly becoming quite popular.Laura Ingalls wrote:I think of hip being what's the cool and popular thing to do (i.e. have Facebook)...different from hipsters who go against what's popular on purpose.

Than they're not really hipsters according to that definition than are they?~JCGJ~ wrote:Except, that deffinition doesn't quite work nowadays, since being "Hipster" is quickly becoming quite popular.Laura Ingalls wrote:I think of hip being what's the cool and popular thing to do (i.e. have Facebook)...different from hipsters who go against what's popular on purpose.

Therefor, those people (myself included) who refuse to be drawn into the "Hipster Movement," as I like to call it, are the true "Hipsters."

I wouldn't mind having a Facebook, because I'd appreciate being able to keep up with a few people that I don't/can't talk with very much. I don't really have time for Facebook, though, so I just glance at a post on my sibling's now and then throughout the day.Woody wrote:Same here.

I think we can all pretty much agree that hipsters have become a paradox.jasonjannajerryjohn wrote:Than they're not really hipsters according to that definition than are they?~JCGJ~ wrote:Except, that deffinition doesn't quite work nowadays, since being "Hipster" is quickly becoming quite popular.Laura Ingalls wrote:I think of hip being what's the cool and popular thing to do (i.e. have Facebook)...different from hipsters who go against what's popular on purpose.

I really agree with you here. I eventually had to get Facebook because of this, but I never really use it except to get church notices, and I still prefer email to Facebook.TigerintheShadows wrote:It would be nice, though, if people weren't like, "Hey! We're gonna let you know about these plans solely through Facebook because, obviously, everyone uses Facebook and there's no reason to suspect that people live lives off of social media that prevent them from accessing this information!". Seriously, I've missed more messages about gatherings for church functions and ensemble meetings than I really care to think about. Whatever happened to just sending out an e-mail? Those are so unpopular, everyone has them.
