Why Facebook?

[pmp6nl]

If you use Facebook why?  If not, why not?

Just trying to get some general ideas as we build Campus Dakota.

Personally, the main reason I use it is because others do.  If you are not on facebook it seems as if you are missing out on things.  I suppose it just feels as if you are suppose to use it (at least have an account).

I use it, but I would rather not.  Blatant data-mining.  CD should not do such evil!

We dont have the resources to do evil 

Plus no desire.

I use facebook because it seems like everyone does.  I guess I am just the blindly following sheep.

I think it's fun!

Is there a fun part of it that may improve Campus Dakota?

Mostly it's good for wasting time and you can always look at pictures people have put up if you are bored.  I like groups too.

I am trying to leave as many groups as I can.  I've also upped my privacy settings, just because you never know what people will take as offensive these days.  It kind of sucks.

The applications bother me too--what was wrong with just having a nice, simple text-based interface?

Some people have way too many applications.

But, FB still looks much better then myspace.
