Facebook

My mates and I often use the messages to organise things but that's it really.

The only proper users now are the people who pour their heart out on it so that's pretty entertaining too.

Don't really understand all the narcissistic self-promotion that goes on with facebook and instagram. I'm barely interested in what I do day-to-day, much less some distant "friend" from high school.

How so? Instagram just feels like an extension of Facebook to me. Take a pic, apply a filter, upload, get comments. No different from Facebook really.

I've only ever used Instagram to get the nice filters. I've never actually looked at my timeline to see what my so-called friends have been posting.

Had it in 2004 when it was still a Uni thing. Hated it by 2006. Not been on since then. Now I'm totally off the radar, living in the social media wildnerness. It's great.

Why do people sound so smug when they say they don't have Facebook account?

I think Facebook is on the decline a bit and is now seen as something a bit 'common'. Not having an account is sort of seen as being a bit superior, like you've avoided catching Ebola or something. In my opinion.

Same reason people do when they say they don't have a tv.

It's weird because you shouldn't be smug to not have things or like tramps would be looking down under the royal family but it is something people are very salf satisfied about.

My real identity is hidden. That's the difference.

That was just a lucky guess.

Don't use it anymore but can't get on my old profile to delete it and I need to, as it's got a load of pictures of me with my arse out on a mountain.

I had a facebook account once as a girl called Claire, i used it to catfish men before MTV bloody ran with the idea.

I feel robbed at that, i was doing that back in 2005.

it has sort of lost it's appeal now and is full of drivel, but i mainly use it now to keep in touch with school friends who are now vanishing all over the world. good to see they're getting married, having kids etc. can be used for conversation starters when you see them again then/save having to listen to them babble on about it for ages.

now though, it's good for online dating. chat to a woman who's only got headshots on her profile, gather her name, look her up on facebook, see full body shots, see she's a bit too podgy and then stop talking to her.

boss invention.
