I've been sick and tired with hyves for years, I won't even bother to make a facebook account. I did start spamming twitter though.

I joined Facebook last year, cause friends kept on insisting it was the place to be. I had much grudge against it before joining.

So I use it with many self-restrictions. No photo ever uploaded except profile photo. No stupid application. No friend with people from my parents' generation. ;) Very little info about myself, and none about my very private life (close friends know it, faraway friends need not to know). No stupid pages of interest except for friends' activities (my former rock band...). No "I like it" !!! Leave a real message instead. Etc.

Result : I use it less and less.
In mind : Diaspora, and other Facebook alikes, which could emerge soon. Pros : your data is your data, on your machine. :) Like an enhancement of the spirit of free software in the field of social networking.

I'm on it because all of my friends are, no more no less - you can look for the bear-brawling Frank Bolduc if you must.

But more importantly, who do I have to shoot to intimidate someone into giving me my forum back? :D Civ 5 is coming soon and I'd like to get back in civ shape before taking you guys on again in September :gun: :ar15: :viking: :ninja: :smileyfail:

Shabba of course... Who else?

Beer helps, you know...

Talking of Facebook, they've just linked to the announcement about Giant Death Robots

Searching for Furiey will find me, although I have my real name, same avatar though.

Thanks!

I saw that grs is on facebook earlier, he came up as one of my 'people you may know' folk. I didn't add him but i recognised the name, perhaps if he stops by i will!

I almost created a Facebook account because someone twittered me that he had some photo's there that I'd like to see. In the end I don't think I missed it. On the other hand, I'm twittering like a madman now.
