Facebook?

facebook is key in university.. great for meeting people as well as keeping in touch with old friends.

some people I haven't seen since elemtnary school added me. Good to see what they are up to nowadays
 
Agreed, I have it too. I never thought DVXusers would be on it too. It's pretty cool and I think I will use it to try to network in terms of film.

Okay. I agree. It's just that I don't need any more Internet to take up my time. I'm on this site if not posting then reading almost all of my free time (excluding weekends). Plus, if my friends want to talk to me, they can IM me, or call me.

OK... I'll agree to that. That's about the ONLY downside, and I almost put it in my original post. Already being a member of a few different forums can potentially take up a LOT of time. Adding another to the list is sometimes too much.

P.S. Just signed up. ADD ME PEOPLE, I'm keeping this one sctrictly for film.

I finally buckled under the pressure and signed up for Facebook. and in two days I reconnected with about 15 friends I haven't talked to in years. and found likeminded people. and wasted a lot of time just clicking around.

Facebook is a good idea but it has very serious shortcomings: not everyone is an american (only american political views are represented), not everyone went to college (I went to University), not everyone is "looking for" someone etc etc etc.

still, it's nice to keep track of how many of my old buddies now have kids :0)

I don't have a myspace, or facebook, don't know why. Just never got round to it, I can see the appeal though.

I'm starting to get old (at least I feel that way :)
 
I think the problem is well known in the Web design Industry, if a "Surfer" waits more than 20 seconds for a page to load, s/he will most likley close it or go else where, people are just that impatient (I've done it plenty of times myself).

Web designers go to great lengths to ensure surfers get fast access, hence you will notice how many times webapges will say its "Quick" to register or "Fast" or "Few clicks" etc..

I know so many times when I've just left webpages because the information I wanted required me to be a registered user, 90% by going back to the search I've found what I was looking for elsewhere without the need to register.

Its just the way alot of surfers are.

But this is what makes Facebook better than Myspace, if you ask me. Registration weeds people out.
