Nope - no Facebook account.

And I don't intend to have one either.

I have a life.

Whats the knocking facebook guys? I find it most convenient for sharing pics and staying in touch with my friends in the US and OZ.

I don't agree though with the folks whose lives DO revolve around updating their status every time they take a crap or make a coffee.

'Be the first of your friends to like this' sorta sums up why.

I've got a crapbook account, but very rarely use it, maybe check it once a month. It is useful to be able to view stuff like this occasional though.

its only useful to other people who have a bookface. thats the thing. used to have bebo a few years back, which was good because i could put photos on, and anyone could see whether they had an account or not. bookface doesn't do that though, so any time anyone posts a link to facebook, its a complete waste to most people on here.

so, +723

Yes you can, you can send a link to an album or a photo. Though this might be a recent addition.

e.g. http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=1866147&l=87bca61dc8&id=740547886

Though for just photo's Flickr or Picasa are probably a better solution.

Personally I feel if you have a lot of friends across the country/world it's invaluable to keeping in touch, though my Missus thinks I don't have a life as I'm on here too often.

Bunch of luddites!

blakep82 - 4/4/11 at 12:12 AM

there's a japanese guy posts on here from time to time. not him is it?


Doctor Derek Doctors - 4/4/11 at 12:55 PM

Am I the only person who can see the mind blowing irony in the fact that people are abusing Facebook users on an interent forum.... and not even in the technical section!!!

People in glass houses really shouldn't throw stones.


David Jenkins - 4/4/11 at 01:38 PM

I have nothing against Facebook itself - but I can't be bothered to get involved with it, and certainly not just so I can see some pictures. It's the assumption that everyone has an account that annoys me.

My daughter in Australia is the only person who would get me on Facebook - but I contact her regularly via phone, email, Skype and SMS, so there's no need. Anyway, she wouldn't let me look at her pages!

Err! Isn't this a forum for a specific (most of the time) interest? and isn't Bookface a thingy that you can use to waste your life away?

The level of hypocracy here is frankly staggering, you are spending you time moaning about about people wasting time on a non-specific forum in the general chat area of a forum! It actually beggers belief.
