Anyone Else Not On Facebook?

[evedawn]

I think I am one of a dwindling minority? Not on FB and don't ever want to be!

[kitty123]

I am not bothered about it either.

[boxtops]

I resisted for a long time, and I have only dipped my toe in - I am very selective who I respond to, and I have stuck on as many privacy tools as I can. If I didn't belong, I'd never see the pics of all the new babies in the family, since we are all so far flung.

[needawin]

For gossips only.

[boxtops]

disagree - I can't stand the people who live their lives on there, I certainly don't, but it's a great tool for sharing information if you are selective.

[evedawn]

Ahhh kitty i not the last one after all lol. Yeah box I know what u mean as "everyone" in my family seem to be on it.

[evedawn]

Needawin ... What I don't "get" is how many people seem to live / share every aspect of their lives on it. Granted I am sure there r exceptions but listening to folk talk makes me wonder

[sherrardk]

I keep up with family and friends and 'chat' with local friends for free.

[ummmm]

It's great.

[Duncer]

Never have been, never will be.

[evedawn]

Box you mention privacy tools... But is it possible to be completely private with it? For eg I know you can decline a friend request but can u stop someone sending u such a request in the first place? Just curious?

[ummmm]

Yes, if you find them and block them.

[evedawn]

Oh ... Ok ummm. So if u block a person prior to a friend
request do they "know" they're blocked? Like I said I'm not on FB but wondering is all

[Jeza]

Not on F/B or any other site like it, Just this one. What I dislike is all the ads on TV that say find out what happens next on F/B.

[ummmm]

If they don't know you're on FB there's no way they would know they are blocked.

[boxtops]

I just don't respond to those requests, if you click on it you can either accept, or say Not Now - I do that all the time.

[evedawn]

Yeah jeza ... I'm thinking we're all gonna "have to" sign up! Just thus week I was on a job website and it said to view all new jobs via FB or twitter only.

[boxtops]

I hate that. Most advertisers have FB pages now - I like to go in for competitions and these days you often have to Like theri FB page to get an entry.

[Sqad]

No....not on Facebook.......can't see the need.

[boxtops]

Interesting even our NHS Trust now has FB and Twitter links now - ironic when not that long ago, we weren't allowed to access those sites on work computers!

[evedawn]

So box pls educate me ... If u like a FB page (eg for a comp) can u "delete / unlike" it after?
