Facebook! ah well, that rules me out.

Sorry. I might have voted for the pic, but just what is it about facebook?

Margaret Pilkington · 01-09-2013, 14:50

Having looked at the pic...yes..I would have voted for it!

Join our photo comp instead....OK, you won't win any flash prize, but it is still fun.

I keep well away from Facebook also so no chance of me voting for some one I don't even know.

Facebook is good for some things. Gaming... Groups is pretty good. A mailing list I am subbed to moved to facebook so I haven't much choice but to use it.

Margaret Pilkington · 03-09-2013, 07:13

Rob, I wouldn't use it if you paid me....and it gets my goat to find that companies promote competitions but only if you are a FB fanatic.
This means that those of us who can't abide FB are excluded.

I have e-mailed some firms with this observation and so far have recieved an electric toothbrush(ok, it takes batteries) a supply of skin cream(unsuitable for me - but someone will get it in their christmas stocking) some dog treats and a silky scarf.

I think I would take myself off the mailing list and let the company know why!

I find Facebook useful for keeping in touch with my family - exchanging messages and seeing where they are and what they are 'up to'.

I don't play Facebook games or supply info about myself.
Only yesterday I viewed photos my eldest grandson took on his arrival in Liberia (for work) - so it is useful to me, because I don't use it for 'frivolity'.

I use facebook for close friends, wouldn't vote for you because I don't know you, post a few things on the site, let us get to know you before you ask for favours from us.

I admit to joining Facebook a few weeks ago.
I had taken photographs for the Accrington and District Welfare for the blind society when they went on a trip to Rivington Barn and later to Galloways ar Penwortham.
I usually print them off and they are pinned up in the Bank Street rooms but some were sent to the President and he put them on Facebook without asking me.
I joined as "Robin Hood" to have a look at them and see what he had written and within an hour of seeing them "Robin Hood " no longer existed.
That was my one and only forage into the site. I am put of by what others tell me they get up to on Facebook, including broken marriage's and clandestine meetings with the other sex.
Bah humbug, am I getting old and past it?

I suppose if it works for you then, well and good.

I think I would prefer to find other ways to keep in touch.
I have family in Australia and a brother who regularly works in far flung places.......India, China and Mongolia(both inner and outer)......we keep in touch by e-mail.....he sends me pictures of the interesting places, and the even more interesting, but unrecognisable food.
None of us have considered using facebook to do this.....because we can do it by e-mail.

I'm kinda with this-you aren't a regular poster , if you were it would be more appropriate to ask for votes on here.

I like facebook for general contact-most people I know are on it, people I don't see often-it is an easy way to keep in touch.

I like it as a place to store photographs as well, and groups,public areas of it are pretty good, especially for help with some of the animal rescues I do.

I don't use my real name or location on it though, or details of past and present employers/schools etc.

My niece is OBSESSED. Margaret, its obscene. Its all about how many stupid likes they can get. They do "hot or not" videos. She will get people to like her status and then her and her friends will make a video and say if a boy is hot or ugly. I have been joking with her calling her shallow.... here is some quotes
