Yeah, but he's saying they don't know that it could be dangerous.

cheesyjon

That's their problem then. It happens everywhere, but he's not complaining about that. What about "terms and conditions" that you're supposed to read before you sign up for something online? The internet is a dangerous place but that danger is far from exclusive to Facebook.

Nobody even reads those. :P... perhaps it wouldn't be a bad idea. :|

Probably not. :P

What's the difference between Facebook and MySpace?

Why did Facebook overtake MySpace?

cheesyjon

You have usernames on MySpace, I think... that would make it harder to find friends who you don't see often.

So is Facebook just an upgraded version of myspace? I've seen FB a couple of times and it looks just like myspace.

It doesn't really look similar, really. It's not an upgraded version, either. Facebook did get it's idea from somewhere else, but I don't think it was from Myspace.

The fact that it's so much more popular than other sites is what makes it so great. Instead of having to find friends scattered all over a bunch of different sites to talk to them or keep contact, almost everyone uses Facebook. It's a great way to communicate with people without getting to close to them (texting, calling, meeting up etc). I barely play the games on there though, but they are good at burning away from spare time.

How is it an invasion of privacy if you are willingly dishing out bucketfuls or personal information? I don't use it very much, but I do like to be able to easily contact old friends.

A website that acts as a photoalbum for grad/vacation/school/outings/parties, msn/messenger, mail, social networker, planner, calender and occasional games is a bad one? Huh. I wonder what the best one ever is.

Facebook is a pretty good way to keep in touch, although

they need to add some features, like cross referencing interests/pages

with people's locations/names, so that you can actually find and meet

like minded people, not just add who you know or browse through

thousands of persons in order to find somebody alike.

The thing i do find stupid and which tells me a lot about someone, is

when they have hundreds of 'friends' or hundreds of pages they 'like'.

Be true to yourself.

Oh hardly. Like it or hate it, it has potential. Some people may abuse it and you surely will run into some annoying people there, but at its foundation it's innocent and actually a pretty innovative and good idea. It's nice to be able to keep in touch with people upon leaving high school, changing schools, changing jobs, moving - whatever your situation may be. The games are ridiculous and there are dumb people there, but overall if you use it for its main intentions, there's nothing wrong with it. Even if you don't enjoy it, it's FAR from being the worst site ever. Also, there are daily anti-Facebook threads. Just thought I'd throw that out there.

They have tons of horrible games on there, some people actually pay real money to play them. It's an invasion of privacy, I always see people post personal information on there I always see people post info about where they work and what they do everyday, I think it's a horrible site and I'm surprised it's so popular. Why do people like sharing info about their personal lives with strangers and people they hardly know??

I don't share my personal life with strangers I only add actual friends and family on Facebook :wink:

Thats the ticket. If I want to talk to strangers(pick up internet chicks) I use Myspace.

The issue is that it's an invasion of privacy and there a lot of people who use facebook who don't realize the dangers on the internet. Females don't realize that if they look good there will be tons of perverts who try to get their info. Just because you can edit your privacy on there doesn't mean it's completly private, if someone wants to they can view peoples private info without that person even knowing some stranger is seeing all their info. It's not a safe site at all.

joshrocks2245

You're right. That is a reason for you to hate it. But it usually doesn't get that bad. It'd probably be better for them to use those slide show things to show pics, though, rather than just being able to View Image/Save Image and stuff like that.

It does get that bad though, I've heard some stories before of people like being stalked because they give out too much info, it's not safe at all.

@Dark link: I know but people can still access others info if they want it, nothing on the internet is 100% safe and any info anyone puts on the internet can be seen.

"people like being stalked because they give out too much info" The key word here is THEY.It was a choice and all choices have consequences. Facebook doesn't make you ad the info.

what i wanna know is how come when a guy from my work friend requested me and i accepted it, it suggested people i might know, and every one of them was also people from work?

needled24-7

Cuz they are friends with that person you added.

but how does facebook know we work at the same place??? if we have other mutual friends that don't work there.

They probably put where they work in their profile. T_T

And no, Facebook is fine. Some people don't like it, but calling it "the worst site to ever exist" would lead some to think you're just a social failure.

There are sites that send viruses to your computer and sites that promote hatred and all that stuff. Then there is **** and /b/, which is the ass **** of the internet.

yet, you post on Gamespot. for the most part, it's not sharing with strangers, but with mostly friends and family. as with any new tech. you are responsible for setting the privacy on your FB. just because you don't like a game, doesn't mean it's terrible. that is an opinion. it's always been popular to bash something ...well, popular. :)

They have tons of horrible games on there, some people actually pay real money to play them.

No, silly for going on the site to feel popular...

Hence, why i said "silly people"..as in, the people that go on there to feel that way, as in the people who use it for other reasons other then networking..

I hope that's clear enough that i wasn't directing it at the average FaceBook user..

Friendster, Myspace, Facebook > all not for me and I deleted them. Each started off well and eventually degenerated in to being mostly useless in my opinion. They all do exactly the same thing, plus their own bells and whistles. If people want to have private pages and keep in touch with actual friends I understand that, but the fact is the great majority don't and use social networking as a lame and useless popularity contest, amassing "friends" they will never see, talk to or care about, beyond it having added another number to their statistics page. And, also my opinion, as soon as any social networking sites allow celebrities and corporations to create profiles so they can get free advertising and publicity, that site is basically useless. I feel the same way about youtube - as soon as every celebrity and corporation in the world realized they could use it to pimp themselves it became utterly pointless to have an account.

Not the worst, but I see as kind of a waste of time. If you really want to talk to someone, why not call them or at least use an instance messaging service? The only real good thing about Facebook is that you can stay well informed when local shows are going down.
