    To Facebook Or Not To Facebook

    We've all heard about, we all know what it is and I'm assuming that most people, also at the WRF, use it.

    I'm one of the few people who did not follow the trend. As much as it can be useful, I've watched how annoying it can become. A culture of watching other people's lives emerges, which is something I hate. When you have 200 friends on your list and everyone expects you to write a comment about this or that picture, take the 'How Well Do You Know Me' quiz or re-poke, it really becomes a full-time job.

    I rather stick to E-Mail and Cell Phones for now. As a careful observer of online market trends, I think Facebook will soon loose out to Google. The search engine giant has a huge project in the pipeline that will let Microsoft think twice whether the $250 million dollar check for a single-figure stake in Facebook was a good idea

    It took me long enough to hit up Myspace. I'll pass.

    I only got on because my GF got on and was able to find alot of old friends. I got back in touch with alot of old friends that I lost touch with when I joined the Army and they went off to college and other military. Other than that it serves as an ad for here.

    I like Facebook. Sure it can get annoying, but that's only if you have annoying friends.

    I don't stay friends with annoying people so I don't get all the useless junk.

    I don't do any of it either. No Facebook (although my sister insisted she have a picture of us on hers) Myspace, ICQ, Messenger..

    WRF is all I got baby And I'm quite happy with that

    Some people are just terribly desparate for attention, and will go to great lengths for people to 'pay attention' to them, they put themselves out there all willy nilly. It reveals a self-centred individual with low self esteem. That's my professional opinion

    I have other views on the whole 'Hooking up with old friends' bit too. Anyone who is in a commited relationship, and their partner starts going on Facebook, Classmates, etc. should take notice. The primary reason is just that. To 'Hook Up'. Pay attention kids...

    *I don't think your troubled Fahad That's a good use for it

    Are you talking about me?

    What made me into Facebook are the events and groups.

    It's good to get events news from your network and to get news from the groups.

    It works great in my motorsport network.


    I think WRF should start a group their.

    Why don't you spread the word on the WRF there? Then you can do your marketing here
