If there's something on your mind that just doesn't seem to fall into any of the other categories, well, it quite likely belongs inside Joe Finneman's marketplace. Think of it as a general store for general discussions!

FaceBook. Do you have it? Are you addicted to it? Post what you think about Facebook below?

I don't have it but I dislike it because all my friends want to spend all their time on Facebook and don't do anything real even my older sisters are like that :roll:

Most of my social interaction takes place on Facebook. :- I swear, without it I'd be a lonely old biddy.

Just don't start playing any of the app games. :( You'll be hooked for a minimum of six months.

I got Facebook almost a year ago, and it's fun. I hardly ever post anything though, I just go around liking people's statuses. :)

I like using Facebook to hone my witty repartee skills. \:D/ I swear, I live for updating my status and making clever replies to other people's posts. :-

I use facebook to communicate, plan events, and post pictures. I'm not obsessed with it, though. And I leave it every once in a while without a problem. :)

I have it, but I have come to hate it over time. Except for the fact I can now stalk Chris without even being his friend... mwahahahahaha! *don't ask....*

I have gone off chat because it is so annoying. And I have slowed down my status messages so much now. I used to be every day. Now, I could go a week and not say anything. I tend not to be that controlled, but I've gotten better.

I also stopped using all the apps and stuff. Flair occasionally now. But I just talk to other people, keep up with my close friends, and scroll aimlessly.

I have it, but I don't use it obsessively. But I'm also not one of those people who log on once every 6 months.

When I got to college, I realized it was difficult to NOT have it...it became everyone's substitute for e-mail, so if I didn't get the fb invite, or fb message, I didn't hear about the event or get-together at all. And when you start to know a lot of people on varying levels of friendship, it is easier to keep track of people when they are on facebook, rather than trying to stay updated through e-mail. E-mails I feel like I have to read--fb, I can choose who I want to be regularly updated on. It has by no means replaced my personal interactions, and has actually increased my social awareness and helps me get in contact with people. I prefer personal contact over fb any day, though when I have friends who live hours away, it's not always an option.
If I'm with friends, I generally don't look at fb--don't have it on my phone or anything, and my computer is usually not with me, much less on. But it is a very useful tool--and it's nice to be able to receive feedback from many people on various ponderings of mine, and to be able to share cool stuff with a bunch of people at once without it being an obnoxious e-mail where I don't know who is interested or not. I've gone without it for times when I'm not needing to be connected to others (short-term example: when I'm spending the day or a few days with friends, busy, and not needing contact. Long-term: working at camp where I have better things to do and people to see, not needing contact with the outside world) and generally not missed it, so right now, I think I'm pretty good. But on the normal week, I find it makes life much more simple (receiving information from my church without having to call or e-mail, which would add tons of stuff for others to deal with).

Unfortunately, I do not have a Facebook, however I would really like one. So, I really can't voice my opinion about Facebook when I have never even used it.

I have an account, and yes, I did try some of those app games. But unlike most, they deterred me more than anything. There was no point to Farmville. #-o And with only my family to talk to..... Well, I'm on more often than I was nowadays, thanks to some certain ToOers that helped get me there. :P

I have a facebook, I am not really addicted to it, but I probably spend a little bet longer on it then I should. I do not stay constantly on facebook when I'm with my friends, in fact, I am the one saying "could we do something else now?" I do like it because I can see what my friends are doing without constanly feeling like I am bombarding them with e-mails.

I have facebook. I use it because they always advertise grad events, and e-mails and stuff.... I never post status updates, I just comment sometimes or message people, or facebook chat.

It's great for stalking people! \:D/

But, ya, it's easy to go overboard with all those games and stuff. I use it quite limitedly.
