Just why do people join these?

Total waste of time you ask me.

Touche! We're social networking right now, even though we may not think of it as that....

I used to ask the same thing until I started using Facebook. It's the simplest way I've found to share photos, you just post them, and all your friends can see, you don't accidentally miss people in an email, or have to resend to find them. I've also re-connected with several people I had lost touch with, whom, while I had thought of, didn't know where to start looking to regain contact. I'm not a fan of all the extra applications, but hey...whatever floats your boat.

I agree with what Gibble says about Facebook. I love it now and can contact people I lost touch with years ago. As for the applications, I wasn't going to install any, but people do ask why you haven't received such and such, so I added a load of those as well :)

That was the exact one I was thinking about, frustrating to use and of little real use.

I always thought people lost contact with me becos they wanted to.....now I can find them back on FaceBook :o)

To top itall I mentioned this to some (younger) workmates and was told I was to old to really understand it......

Oh and it helps if I had some friends...

So cruel!
