Comments on: Facebook Gives Me a Warning…Thanks, No I Mean It! http://www.cloudid.com/2008/05/05/facebook-gives-me-a-warningthanks-no-i-mean-it/ David Usher's blog on art, technology and the communication revolution Mon, 08 Sep 2008 06:15:37 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.1 By: Danielle http://www.cloudid.com/2008/05/05/facebook-gives-me-a-warningthanks-no-i-mean-it/#comment-1242 Danielle Mon, 02 Jun 2008 10:56:14 +0000 http://www.cloudid.com/?p=27#comment-1242 I appreciate facebook - It has brought me back in touch with family that I have not spoken to in many many years due to the size of this planet and country. Close friends I had lost touch with have now re-entered my life. I did fall out of the honeymoon stage with it quite a while ago - but Facebook to me is a tool for communication. Myspace ... well, is a waste of my time. I appreciate facebook - It has brought me back in touch with family that I have not spoken to in many many years due to the size of this planet and country.

Forget the ugly interface and I hate the restiction of being from a certain place. It doesn't make sense. Steve I dumped facebook some time ago, MySpace is much better in all regards.

Facebook is the "IT" girl right now. Something new and fresh will come along soon and Facebook might be a thing of the past. My bet is in LESS than five years. :-) David,

I use it a lot more than myspace, which I mainly use to get music updates and for discovering new music. I use facebook for keeping in touch with friends and family. When you're studying abroad it's a great way to keep in touch with people at home, especially when there's a time difference and it's hard to catch each other on MSN. It's also crazy how you can find people you haven't heard from since elementary school. I like facebook and have never had any problems with it.
