Hey! my little sister uses facebook because she has a life. It's now the dominant chat program to keep in toutch with your friends real life or otherwise, just like MSN was at one time, and AIM/ICQ/IRC before it.

Simply an evolution of possibilities. IRC allowed you to share text. ICQ/AIM allowed you to share files. MSN allowed you to share audio and video. Facebook let's you share just about anything to anybody. To be honest i can't really see what the next step would be, as for a large part of the population this is already a step too far, me included. But atleast i know my sister is informed and has everything set to private as much as possible.

In any case, what worries me more is the quote "if we know what game you're going to buy next we can download it in the background for you". I don't want sony to know what i'll buy next. I want my friends to know, sure, i'll talk to them about cool games coming out, usually try and convince them to get it as well.

But i don't want sony to know or pre-load it for me. Because then, what's to say they won't preload other games "i like"? The point is here i've got no vested interests in convincing others to play the same game. If they won't, i'll find people online to play with. But sony does always have a vested interest, they make a cut on every sale. They are biased and thus listening to them about what you might like is very dangerous indeed, you might find you like everything.

huh? Sorry I'm not cool enough to qualify to have a fb account.

But i have eyes.. and i know losers who constantly access fb with their phones.. its just shows how bored they really are.. desperately wasting time on fb.. its nothing more than pathetic.

Why not do something productive and improve your mind... damn do anything other than giving away your personal information ... for free no less and trolling 'friends'.. of which most are complete strangers.. Totally sad and pathetic!!!

Sure, like being an elitist prick, because you're too good to use FB, yet not good enough to waste your time on a public forum complaining about it?

Not too good to use FB.. just not that stupid

Defend your position all you like... not going to change the fact that you give your personal details away for free for the sake of 'fitting' in to your social circles... that's just pathetic.

And yes i dont expect many people to agree with me because popular culture has a commanding influence on the masses... everyones too worried about not being included.. its so sad.

I guess trying to convince you there is a legitimate use for Facebook, bringing people together from distant geographical locations, is a bit beyond your understanding at this point?

There was a world before FB and it didnt require giving all your personal details, photos and geographical location away and people soooooooooooooomehow managed to say in touch with friends/family.

It amazes me how far people are willing to go to defend FB.. it really show how obessed they. It's it really that important in peoples lives?

Do I sound obsessed with Facebook? Did I "defend" it?

I'm 35, but you honestly sound like a 50 year old cranky geezer who just doesn't "get" the digital age.

I have family spread out all over the globe. And before you say what I know you're going to say, yes, I DO call them on the phone too. However when I log into Facebook, and see new pictures of my six month old niece, it makes my day a little bit nicer.

What is so goddamned evil about that I ask you?

Haha 50... long way until that.. and for the record your older than me... i'm gen Y.

Perhaps my last comment was too vague... i didnt particularly mean yourself, for the record i normally find your comments insightful and fairly unbais... but if you look at some of the other posts you'll know why i said people are obsessed and defend it unconditionally... its like i've cut down their mother or something stupid like that.

That said.. FB has become this beast that no one can live without, its like the world will fall apart if it goes away or your some sort of social pariah if you dont conform to popular culture. It's like everything must be linked to FB or the stupid masses won't know about your product or service.

Why on earth would people happily live their lifes through FB.. i find that incredibly... well pathetic... dont people care they are giving their personal details/photos away for free?

He asks you to do something productive while he condecends and otherwise looks down his nose at you, despite the fact he sounds like a total moron.

Ignore it because its clear this guys probably been isolated from any worthwhile social circle for the majority of his life as he clearly doesn't value or understand how to communicate.

RE: What the hell?
Lol Trolls be trolling up in here I see -_-

It sounds like you don't have a teen in your surrounding.

Youngsters do whatever youngsters did before.

In my time, it was occupying home phone line for hours.

Later on, it was txting to oblivion and back.

Nowadays, when even a teen on a pocket money budget can have smart phone, it is FB-ing.

Are teens losers? I don't think so. They are just kids.

Hmmm... well actually i spent 99% of my free time down the beach getting hammered by the surf or building remote control cars/aeroplanes.. just like the majority of my friends.. spending all your time on the phone/txting or fb is a product of nothing better to do with your time.

For the record I do feel sorry for teens these days... their whole lifes are dicated by popular culture.. I mean they all want to be famous, are covered in tattoo(because is so unqiue) and desperately trying to be cool.. ie must own apple, must follow fashion, must have fb

I like that your view of FB is negative, but your attack on the users is excessively cynical.

Yeah, I'm getting sick of trying to click a link or whatever and a company redirecting me to Facebook. It's like your a major company, I think you can run your own website lol.

cheap/bang for the bucks brand awareness is moving towards social media.

Dont get me wrong, fortune 1kers's shouldnt be doing this, but for the rest, its a pretty big tool.
