If we were in the soapbox... I would add a comment to this
M.D.V.
If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

You can't quit anything until you have reached your personal "rock bottom". Are you ready for the next steps to enlightenment?
If you give me $100 USD, I will show you how to quit Facebook.

Wait, can I send you $150 please? I'd like even more enlightenment.

Facebook is a tool, nothing more, nothing less.
What people do with it is what matters.
I use it to stay in touch with friends and family that are too distant to always visit.
My wife uses it to remind me of things I've said, like today:
Groundhog day... leave the rodent alone! Get out of your monkey suit!
Do you want entertainment? Put on your monkey suit and wake a sleeping bear.
Now, THAT would be funny...
I said that 3 years ago; it came up in her timeline and she reminded me of it.
I'm still laughing.

This suspiciously sounds like a pro-FB post.

Not necessarily pro, more neutral... I use it for certain purposes, but manage what I use it for.

I can make something useful with a tool.
Facebook is only useful to its customers. Also, don't confuse their customers with their users.
|

Exactly, the age old adage is true, if you're not paying for something then you're not the customer. Someone is paying FB.. and for what... demographics I'd wager. Sure, some advertising revenue too, but I don't think that alone would make them so rich. So, in essence, with FB and Twitter, the users are the product.

Facebook has the best profiling tool available to advertisers, perhaps next only to Google--and better yet (for them): People volunteer their information.

I've switched over to MySpace.
I think that is going to be the big social media platform of the future and I want to be there before anyone else.

I was going to sign on but the requirements are 1200 baud (or better) modem.
I'm planning on upgrading my 300 baud soon.

Farcebook probably started as a really good idea - but then the morons arrived and judged their worth by their "friends" count; changed their relationship status every ten minutes to indicate to the world that they had an active sex life, if only in their imaginations; posted pictures of their breakfast; and generally indicated to that part of the world which could be bothered that their IQ was smaller than their shoe size and dropping rapidly.
And the morons rule, because advertising cr@p to 1,000,000,000 morons is a lot more financially rewarding than advertising relevant stuff to 12,000,000 intelligent people. So Farcebook lower the bar each time, and the average user IQ drops to the point where the rare intelligent comment is swamped into near oblivion.
Twatter is the same.

Sorry. It did not.
It was original created and used to mark people as "hot" or "not".
It was a lame idea and has been transformed into an even more lame idea.
But, now that it's worth $50 bajillion everyone is like, "it's genius!! Right?!"

And that's about the only good use I can think of for FB... meet chicks. Only problem is, they'll be the type of girls who are on FB.

If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.
