Never facebooked, so I feel fine.
I agree. But there's cell phones (like 99% of today's population has one). If anyone actually cares about communicating effectively with someone, they call or text that person on his/her personal number instead of posting something on that persons fb, and expecting them to reply right away. And I'm pretty sure that most of our close friends and family have our phone numbers???

They do, but you could use that same statement with drugs or alcohol. People who facebook religiously are annoying, and they all seem to think they are reality TV stars.
But it's not just facebook. Today on a ride from National rental car in Denver to the airport, there were 14 people on the bus including me, and everyone was texting or reading something online, no one spoke to anyone else for the entire 10 minute or so ride. Most never looked up.
Very true.
I showed this to me ex, and she only read the first point. When I discussed with her the next two points, namely the 3rd one that talks about how Facebook affects close relationships, she replied without a hint of irony, "That's not true, I care about my close friends in real life."
The last straw in the end of our relationship was that she spent more time on Facebook than she did talking to me or playing with my kids. My son would be up to 2 a.m. (a 3 year old at the time) because she wasn't watching him. I woke up at 2 a.m. (when I was getting ready to go to work) one day and found him playing games while she was on Facebook not watching him.
When I reminded her about how the close relationships I was talking about was not friends but something more (meaning the kids) she just stayed quiet. It's so frustrating dealing with someone who cares more about her computer life and friends than she does her own kids.
I have NEVER had a Facebook account, and I never will. I have a Google+ account, but I interact with only 1 friend who lives in Arizona and really follow people like Richard Branson, Trent Reznor and Mark Cuban (blasphemy to us Spurs fans I know, but he is a genuinely an interesting person). And I check my account maybe twice a week.
A few times I log onto this site during the day, but I usually check in when my kids are asleep, or at work on my breaks.
the only thing useful about these networking sites is catchin up with friends u havnt seen and networking or following other interesting people whether its celebs to s...hence most of the time they release alot of their new on these network sites then trolling over to their main website to grab whatever....
