2. I find it mildly annoying

constant spam about someone's virtual vegetables

13. You can hide all that crap. Mouse over to the right of posts about Farmville, etc and

choose the "hide" option. That way you can still read posts by the person without having to wade through their stupid Farmville/Mafia/Yoville/Whatever crap.

3. Twitter should be called "Facebook Jr".

[aquart]

4. Define "fairly active."

[Goldstein1984]

5. I mostly use it to keep track of...

what family members in other states are fighting about this week.

I also post liberal and progressive news articles to irritate my Republican and conservative Democrat "friends."

18. some of my facebook friends are

people are graduated high school with. they're all right wingers. one day i posted that there must have been something in the water that made them that way. i said "i escaped it because we had our own well". lol

6. I live overseas and have friends in over 12 other countries

It helps me keep tabs on everyone easily and cheaply

7. I too have friends and associates all over the world,...

Face Book helps keep contact. I am very careful what and how I post things. There are some annoying things about it, but there are more benefits than demerits....so I use it. It's particularly good for professional contacts.

8. You guys/girls should look at both Skype and MagicJack (VOIP) for phone calling...

I have both and they are awesome to keep in touch, and cheap.

[Alameda]

23. True, but they are for more committed relationships

Skype and MagicJack are more for deeper more committed things. I've found it's easier to keep contacts up with FB.....there are always those contacts you like but don't really have much to talk about, but you are interested in what they are doing and how they are.

9. Other: I have a Facebook account that I tried to cancel.

But, they'll only allow you to "deactivate" it.

[Cirque du So-What]

10. I have no use for Facebook

There's too much time suckage in my life already.

[donheld]

11. Yes I do

Somewhat.

[Maru Kitteh]

12. Fairly active

[greyl]

14. Some have more than one account - personal + business. nt

[Contrary1]

15. I have an account, but rarely post...

I found a friend from the 60's there, and had to join to contact her.

[DesertFlower]

16. i'm on facebook. i check it several

times a day. most of my posts tend to be political, but it's a nice way to see what my sisters and other family members are doing.

[Edweird]

19. No facebook. I find facebook lame. I'm on myspace where the wild things are.

My activity level there has fallen to zero lately. I've been a hermit and spent my time working on pulling my life back together. I'll be social again in the not too distant future.

[Paper Roses]

20. I signed up for Facebook a while ago and find it very confusing

and too busy. I rarely post but do check out the pages of family and friends now and then. I don't think I've received any real benefit from my limited participation.

I initially signed up to see of I could find old H.S. and college friends. I did, but have done nothing. I wish there was a way of setting it up so you don't get the names of friends of friends popping up all the time. Maybe there is but I don't have time to go figure that out.

Just check what I need to check and off I go.

21. If I could figure out how to DELETE my Facebook account it would be long gone

One you got it you got it.

22. I use facebook for email communication and that's it.

No status updates, no silly games, etc.

And I closed my wall to ALL posters. No one can post on my wall.

Status updates and wall postings drive me crazy for some reason so I don't pay attention to them.
