    Facebook - fad or...?

    WTF is the fascination with Facebook these days?

    Were stalkers running out of online resources to track people down?

    I have no idea. My guess is people want to feel hip, or want to be heard and seen.

        it's been around for quite some time, and I think most people are sick of all the spam on MySpace.

          I like the way when you go on there and if you click the link to see if your friends have a facebook account it asks for your e-mail and your e-mail password. WTF??????

            I was told facebook exceeded GOOGLE in traffic last week .. its all about their excellent FREE add-ons and simplicity .. and it is more "real" than myspace and the rest because people want to connect with friends so they are actually using their real names .. read somewhere else that sites like face book are probably going to be what the "new" internet will be like .. hmmm

                Still don't what it's about. Anysite that asks me to give them my e-mail password is not one I'll be joining anytime soon.

                  The owner turned down $1 billion.

                  If that's a modern fad, count me in.

                        Facebook isn't a fad -- it's a well-designed networking tool organized by region, school and even workplace.

                        Plus, a recent Forbes article claimed that Facebook members are more intelligent that MySpace users. d It was originally created and launched as a network for Harvard students.

                          I find it to be a great site to connect with old friends from school, some even preschool. It's just interesting to see what they are up to & meeet up for a coffee etc.

                          Also starting a group is a great way to promote a site, company, charity etc.

                            try are trying to flex their muscle, but myspace and faebook are fads. In the 2020s people be looking back and say "hey... remember myspace?" "oh god! I had myspace profile. the 2000s rocked."

                                  I'm just waiting for facebook to go the way of myspace and become spam central.

                                  Am not a fan of either of these sites but commend the creators on their successes.

                                    People are using it to find people that they haven't talked to in 10 and 20+ years.

                                    It's reuniting people no matter where in the world they are, or what has happened to them through out the years that they've been apart.

                                    That's very powerful and people are loving it.

                                          That's the way I tend to think of it also. I'm sure many people - at one time or another, stop and wonder "Hmm...I wonder what ever happened to...?"

                                          Hardcore drinkers can likely testify to those late nights after you've had a few too many, end up reminiscing a little in your beer...and wind up on the phone trying to track down a long-lost buddy or ex-GF.

                                          Perhaps Facebook helps fill that little void.

                                              Facebook is FANTASTIC!! I use it prob 10x a day.

                                              I have re-united with so many high school and college friends thru this site. I have no reason to ever attend a high school reunion because I can just message them and say hello anytime I want hehe.

                                              I admit I am a bit of a raving fan, but I find it amazing. If they ever went public i would be the first person buying stock.

                                                Facebook has "fad" written all over it until they started to open it up ad encourage non-university / college types of participate. Now it is becoming more and more of a find old friends and self sorting database of people.

                                                If your friends on there post tons of pictures, it is also a pretty decent stalking tool.

                                                  they have too many useless apps, people were attracted due to simplicity and the way to meet and reunite, now they are bogging it down with useless garbage. KISS - keep it simple stupid

                                                      Plus, a recent Forbes article claimed that Facebook members are more intelligent that MySpace users. d It was originally created and launched as a network for Harvard students.
                                                      I agree, FaceBook is a great networking tool, pages load fast, not tons of ads and just a clean forum to connect with friends and family

                                                        And some of the apps tend to crash opera browser, too.

                                                            Yeah I'm sure mypace was ad-free at first too. If some site gets enough traffic, spammers will exploit it.

                                                            Also as I said I question facebook's practices. Any site that requests my e-mail password gets a HUGE red flag from me.
