Facebook

So, I get an email from someone I work for as a freelance telling me that I really ought to be on Facebook. So I enter myself into Facebook.

Now I’m left with the question, why?

I’ve never worked directly for a company, other than ones I’ve set up myself, so there’s no network there. Of the very few people I was at school with that I can bear to pass the time of day with (either then or now) I’m already in contact with via the miracle of blogging. Of the two similar from university one committed suicide and the other is a Rabbi, leaving little common ground with either to chatter over.

As I’ve been in a relationship for the past 15 years and have no specific desire to leave it searching for girlfriends past or potential doesn’t appeal.

So, err, what is the point?

  1. If you don’t have Facebook, Myspace and Bebo profiles it means you don’t exist.
    ID cards will be done away with in the future and a social networking profile will be compulsory.

    :O Can Facebook really communicate with the dead?

  3. What’s Facebook?

  4. It’s a complete waste of time I’ve got better ways of wasting my time.

  5. You have to be young enough to have lots of people you know on it before it is at all worth it.

  6. Depends. I know people with academic careers who have found it useful to post links to papers. Not sure that it would be of much use to you.
