How old are you, and do you have a Facebook account?

[Writer]

Choose one. :)

1. My dear Writer!

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaay over 50, and no Facebook account!

I must be a curmudgeon, huh?

:P

[Inchworm]

2. dang, wrong spot

:hi:

[Writer]

3. Not at all, m'dear CalPeg.

I'm 33 and don't have one.

I don't text message with my friends, either.

If you're a curmudgeon, then I'm a curmudgeon-lette.

[Inchworm]

4. Are you hitting on me?

:rofl:

:hi:

[Writer]

6. Never mind. The subtlety of your most excellent joke flew over my head.

Signed,

~Writer the Supremely Dense~

7. gawd.. I sooo had a comeback

lol, not.

I didnt know what to say. You won!

:silly:

[liberaltrucker]

5. 54, no FB account

MySpace made me swear off social networking sites. WAY too much BS.

Guess I'm just old and set in my ways.

:shrug:

[Skittles]

11. same here

I want nothing to do with any of it

[Common Sense Party]

8. I hesitate to ask...but what exactly IS a Facebook?

And why would a 40-year-old married guy want one?

[Skittles]

10. it's just another online social network thing n/t

[Common Sense Party]

13. Isn't it just for teens and yound hipsters?

You know...whippersnappers.

[Skittles]

15. LOL

um......no, I don't think it is age-restricted but I'm sure those folk are most likely to be ultra-social, as is the case with every generation :D

[Common Sense Party]

17. Yeah, at 40 I'm pretty much ultra-anti-social. n/t

[Skittles]

20. I'm 51 but I've always been on the anti-social side

I remember when I was a teenage girl I wouldn't answer the phone (easier to keep more than one boyfriend that way) :D

[Hippo_Tron]

23. John McCain has one, so it's clearly not restricted

Of course, his daughter had to set it up and maintain it for him because he thinks the computer is still something from a science fiction novel.

[Skittles]

9. just the name "Facebook" irritates me

no, I'd never do stuff like that - I like complete privacy

[ForrestGump]

26. Me, too

And if it's anything like MySpace, which I pretty much despise in every possible way, I wouldn't want any part of it even if it was named ChocolateSundaeBook.

[SoxFan]

31. It's much better than MySpace

MySpace has that 7th grade girls vibe, tons of spam, and sticky applications. Facebook is graphically cleaner, and at least seems to make a decent effort to control spam.

I'm on Facebook, and my friends list includes the dean of my old law school, a former state treasurer of a southern state, a nationally known blogger and columnist, an astronaut, and an assortment of political acquaintances, relatives, and in-laws.

12. I'm under thirty and I have a facebook account.

:)

[grannylib]

14. 49 and just got one

[Common Sense Party]

18. And what do you DO with it?

I'm not trying to be snarky. I'm just curious. I'm 40 and I'm so out of it, I can't imagine how this thing would be useful to me.

[grannylib]

29. *lol* I use it to stay in touch with my daughter and some of her

friends from high school, who are like my "spare kids" and I've also been able to get back in touch with some acquaintances from high school (mine). I don't use it as much as some of the younger ones do, but it's kind of fun. :-)

[Common Sense Party]

30. How did you get in touch with the high school friends?

Can you search by name, or by school?

[grannylib]

34. Either; in fact, in your profile, you can list the school you graduated

from, and the site will automatically find people who listed the same school, within a few years of your graduation date. I found about 5-6 former classmates I wouldn't have thought to look for, and wouldn't have known how to find, otherwise! It was fun to see pix of them.

[evlbstrd]

16. I have one.

I was tricked into it.

[Skittles]

21. scheduling evlbstrd for an ass-kicking

that's just plain pitiful no matter WHAT the explanation :7

[evlbstrd]

28. Does it help

that I never log in?

[ghostsofgiants]

19. I'm 23 and yes I do.

[mwooldri]

22. Facebook? Pah! I have my OWN site. nt

[ChoralScholar]

24. I keep in touch with a lot of people

I went to high school with, college with... folks I've worked with, students I've taught...

I check it just like I check my e-mail.

[Rhythm]

25. Almost 42, and on Facebook

Oktoberain has a profile there, too...

It's a great way for us to touch base with our classmates at WVU, and even some instructors as well.
Plus, a lot of the applications are fun!

PM me if you haven't 'friended' us yet, and want to look us up.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

[Reverend_Smitty]

32. I'm 24 and I have one...

Although I must say I liked it better before they started letting non-college e-mail accounts sign up

[terrya]

33. I'm 52 and yes, I have one.

[bigwillq]

35. I am 30 and I have one (nt)
