Who else is not on Facebook?
Yes, I don't have a Facebook account. It seems like so many of my coworkers, friends, and relatives are on Facebook. I keep getting constant invitations to join Facebook. I feel like some dinosaur for holding out on Facebook but I just don't want to join the bandwagon simply because everyone else is doing it.
I spend way too much time online as it is. I don't need to get involved in another online activity that will take up my time. Besides who really cares what I'm doing on any given day, and why do I care about the minutiae in other peoples lives like "Anne is doing her tax returns."
I also don't want people who are barely acquainted with me to become online friends. It seems to blur the line between someone who is a real friend and someone who is just a person you know casually.
If I want to send people photos, I email it to them. I can also call and email folks.
I'm also very private by nature so most likely that's why I'm holding out.
Tell me there are others like me...  |

I'm right there with you. I enjoy posting here but the purely "social networking" sites turn me off. So self indulgent and I especially dislike the feature where they recommend friends or people reach out to you and they have nothing to do with my actual "network" - most of them seem like slutty college girls  ...urgh...I'm irritated right now so will leave it at that. You are not alone! |

Never been a fan of Facebook or Myspace either. I signed up way back when Myspace came out but never did anything with it. haven't joined Facebook, although have had lots of invites.
I have trouble keeping up with what I do do, let alone to visit umpteen single sites lol.
And I don't Tweet. Too many options these days.
I'm boring I guess lol.

Sorry, I LOVE Facebook! Toosie...I am far from self indulgent or a slutty college gal and none of my "friends" are either. Heck, even my 60 year old aunts have pages now, too. And I only accept friend requests from people I want to keep in touch with.
I love keeping in touch with my extended family and reconnecting with long lost friends. My life is super busy and filled these days (whose isn't??) and for me it takes 2 seconds to send an "I love you" or "thinking of you today"!!!
Its simple, fun and fantastic!  |

I have facebook and myspace. Thinking of getting rid of myspace because nobody does much on there. What I like about facebook is I have come in contact with quite a few class mates from my school. Some I hadn't heard from or seen since we graduated.
But I can see where it's not for everybody. Not a thing wrong with not having a facebook or myspace page. To each their own!
