[EJK]

That's what I said.

[Oakie]

Mrs Oakie biffed hers 6 weeks ago because there was so much crap on it (and because someone kept telling her to add people as friends that she didn't even know). I've never had one (apart from the one I opened at work to use to check prospective employees out).

[SMOKEU]

That whole 'spacebook' thingy is a pointless waste of time.

[mashman]

Wise man. My Mrs is still hooked and takes the rough with the smooth. Admin overhead i think they call it. But i've got zero time for it.

How curious. I've just received an email from a mate saying exactly the same thing......although he was a bit less polite than you. :D

I suspect most people don't know Facebook has settings where you can stop the notifications. Pretty benign otherwise.

[Motu]

I was never the slightest bit interested in Facebook - but my wife went to Aust a couple of months ago,and it was an easy way for her to keep in touch with us cheaply.But I have found young people on it - my kids,my nephews in Canada,my friends kids.It's good to keep in touch with the young people on their own medium.

Unlike KB, which is a fucking excellent way of spending your day.

[MadDuck]

Yep I am picking this is the case. The ignore function on FB is WAY more effective then the one on KB.

It beats the abuse and constant personal attacks that go on in this forum!

You're onto it.

[davebullet]

What's a face book? Is that like a picture album?

[Toaster]

That whole 'spacebook' thingy is a pointless waste of time.

Agreed. Someone else set mine up too. I tried to delete mine but its still there.

Isn't skype simpler?

[Motu]

Isn't skype talking to a computer? And you need a person on the other computer to talk to you? I don't do that,but I can check Facebook once a day to see if there is a message.Same as email,but reaches more people.

[Hanne]

Good for sharing pictures with your friends, I used it heaps for keeping in touch when I was in Germany.
Just need to take notice of your privacy settings so only friends can see your goings-on...

[Berries]

But I have found young people on it.

Me too.:buggerd:

I'm with you on that one. I've never bothered with facebook as I felt it was too public.

I'm bored.................. I know; I can waste some time starting a thread about how I haven't got time to waste on Facebook

Yes but this is Kiwibiker and it's a law unto itself! There are no rules in the biker world right?!:innocent:

[CookMySock]

It makes a good contact/phone book, and you can access it from your cellphone. It will also link you up with all your old school friends, especially the cute ones. :niceone:

Steve

[sinfull]

Sniff !
AJ thats just mean ! I would have shared my friends with you, honest !!!

[The Pastor]

facebook is better than uni!

You wish mate.

[McDuck]

Why> I can pick who i see (and only pick the hot ones)

[slofox]

. why don't i just delete my face book account?



That's what I did - after about two minutes...:whistle:

[EJK]

Yo! Add me on facebook yo!

[Ragingrob]

Facebook is a really simple way to keep in touch with your mates/family, to share photos, chat, and organise events...

Don't see what's so bad about that :confused:

Stalking made so easy aye! C'mon you gotta admit yo. Everyone does it.

[SMOKEU]

Those social networking sites are shit. If you want to 'pick the hot ones' then go to the right kind of pub on a Friday or Saturday night and find a drunk slut there.

[Fatt Max]

I wish someone would invent 'Titsbook' or 'Arsebook', that would be fun........'Cockbook' already exists, its the Magnetos Scooter Club website and if you are really rude and fancy looking at 'Cuntbook', try the website of any political party, corporate company or Arsenal Football Club.com.

Paul.

so it was YOU perving through my window the other night...............
( i have a friend!!! his name is mac, he lets me feed him, i let him bark at me when he is hungry)

[Woodman]

I don't get facebook, and I really really don't get twitter. Actually I struggle with the logic of spending all day texting someone. e.g. wht u doin? ...nutin.... wot u doin? ...nutin wot u doin? ...just seen so and so drivn past..... Cool i wil txt him. ..... Wots he doin?.... nutin.
WTF do you then talk about when you actually meet the person in person.?

Yeah I know, seems inane don't it. Still, if you look at human conversation, much of what we say is padding without much meaning. We could communicate the essentials with much fewer words. The reason we make small-talk (which texting sort of is) is to build up and maintain a friendly bond with the other person. By contrast consider how short your conversation is with someone you don't like.

[Big Dave]

At least on this site people spend their time complaining about topics I'm occasionally interested in.

Yer , i got a friend like that called Max , but i feed him and then barks at me to let him back inside. !!!

[Big Dave]

Yep.

[PrincessBandit]

I disabled mine weeks ago - hardly ever went on it, my email got clogged with requests for all sorts of shit from all sorts of people I barely know (if at all). My sad e-life is limited to kiwibiker and university crap which seems to be compulsory to "log in and update your blog" shit. Makes me want to scream.

[Fatt Max]

I see the negatives about Facebook but I used to use it to keep in touch with family and friends back in blighty as well as a few biker people. Unfortunatley ny access to the site and therefore my familiy and friends is temporarily suspended.

Still, each to their own I suppose...

Still want to see Titsbook or Arsebook though.......mind you, Piebook would tickle the old fella I reckon

[Sable]

Facebook is fine. The probem is some thicker old people don't understand the difference between a person and something that takes the people on your friend list, then looks for the mutual friends and puts them on a suggestion list.

Mrs Oakie biffed hers 6 weeks ago because there was so much crap on it (and because someone kept telling her to add people as friends that she didn't even know). I've never had one (apart from the one I opened at work to use to check prospective employees out).

You can block all emails and things sent from it, you can prevent people that aren't on your friends list from seeing your photos or any content you may post just by fiddling with some settings.
All it takes is to open your eyes and actually have a fucking look at what you're doing, like old people that don't look at the screen on eftpos machines telling them to 'select account'.

[firefighter]

Lol, this all seems pretty hypocritical considering the amount of time spent on this site! (This could almost me construed as a facebook for bikers, with minimal pictures....)

I think facebook is great. You can choose which pictures you want to look at, and keep in touch with family and friends you probably would'nt have ever seen again.......it's quite interesting seeing what people get up to as they grow up....and how some do'nt grow up at all!

Oh, and you can just ignore the requests......

[Ronin]

I see the negatives about Facebook but I used to use it to keep in touch with pie shops back in blighty as well as a few biker people.

Fixed that for ya Max

[avgas]

Put porno links on facebook. Great fun.
