Remind me again why social networking sites are such a big deal?

They are a good way to keep in touch with family and friends who you don't want to talk to on a daily basis.
As long as you're not the facebook/myspace/twitter ***** with 5,000+ friends, they aren't bad.

1. It's a time waster. Stupid quizzes and silly games. Chit-chat.
2. Easy photo upload and album creation with comments enabled. A painless way to show photos from ___ and see what people have to say about them.
3. Yet another place to be cranky and ****** in little time and reach a big audience. Always a plus.
I have a ton of family in Peru I keep up with, not to mention friends from high school and college that I liked, but don't necessarily want to call on the phone and catch up with. The down side for me is the friend-whores. If I haven't met you IRL or at least through a long online acquaintance, I'm not going to want to share pics of myself and my family with you.
I'm on FB pretty regular, but I haven't really mastered or peaked a real interest in Twitter. I don't need all the texts in my inbox.

I use it to keep in touch with family and friends from back home, post pics of the kids and generally waste time. I have gotten a kick out of some of the "friends" that have come out of the woodwork on that site. You just never know who is going to remember you. Haha.
What's bred in the bone will not out of the flesh.
I use it to see my friends post stupid things I can make fun of them for. More material, is never a bad thing.
Donate. One day it could be your family.

I don't Twitter. I refuse! Facebook is more than enough for me.
I used it until they fucked with how the incoming messages are arranged and now I've lost interest. I maybe look once a week.

Wow. Regular ol' Joph fan club in here.
I'm pretty sure Jophiel just wants to get out of accepting my friend request.
Just as Planned.
I have one employee who, when communicating with me from home, insists on using facebook e-mail. I had to find my site info some time ago to pick up a message from him.
Since then however, EVERYONE, has gotten a fb page. Like others have stated, it's a very convenient, non-committal, way to keep up with distant family and friends.

FB has let me find people from my old high school that I always wondered about but of which I have completely lost track. Sounds like an ad for FB, but it was pretty cool to get to talk to someone I haven't spoken with for 14 years.
I love the security stuff because once my mother figures out how to create an account, I'll definitely want to weed out what information makes it her way.
It is also fun when the VP of Client Services comments on your FB status... that you posted mid-work day... and she agrees with it.

One of the things that ended up getting a co-worker fired was that she had a bunch of our clients as friends on Facebook, and she was constantly "getting a high score" on Bejeweled.
I enjoy it because I can peruse at leisure and in a glance get a feeling for how my friends and family are doing without having to call them. I hate phones.I'm not heavily into the games like a lot of people are but I have one or two I enjoy when I have a free minute. I've found old friends and had old friends findme that I've lost contact. And I enjoy being able to hide my status and the ability to post on my wall from certain family members without them feeling as if I insult them by defriending them. Although if I gave them access back I would have a whole bunch of fodder for http://myparentsjoinedfacebook.com/
I have Facebook, and a bunch of people friended me (high school buddies, the crew from Riverside, family) as well as MySpace...but being strictly anti-social it's kind of pointless. My wife uses my account for game purposes (Mafia members, Cafe employees, etc)

I don't have any co-workers as FB friends. I know better.

I have one, and would probably add my other co-workers once I got to know them better. But never my bosses.
But I actually like my co-workers now. And I don't play any of the silly ap games they have on FB.
I use my computer to be anti-social. ***** FB & company.

Noooo. They don't like one of our bosses much, and the other boss probably doesn't know what facebook is.

Eh, doesn't bother me to facebook friend a coworker. It's not like me being crazy was a real big secret.
I don't recommend it, but that's because enough work 'friends' have tattled on each other to me and asked for my discretion that I realize precious few work friendships actually live up to the concept.
I enjoy the fact I have no coworkers to worry about
