Facebook...

So... Facebook appears to be like Marmite... you either love it or you hate it!

How do you feel about Facebook?
How do you use it?
Or do you not use it?

How do you feel about Facebook?
How do you use it?

Face /book
There are those who put their face with their name
others attempt to tell the world how they feel
as in any book there is fiction and fact ,and some cops even have things to hide

How do you use it?

I have used it to support a cause
There are two sides to most causes

Poets are better at generalizing than committing to opinions about events that threaten my world

Last, but not least I use it as a social media

I use to talk to people I've talked to in the past but not much anymore, post my photos when bored and finally add people who I will eventually talk to one day.

I don't really use it much to either love it or hate it I'm in between.

First, I like Marmite, since we cannot get get Vegemite herein the states. Slather it on hot buttered toast. Mmmmm

I use Facebook extensively. As social network, for my kids, to post photos,, for events, poems, and lots more. There are about 30 or so members on Facebook together.

I use it to stay in touch with people I cannot visit in daily life because they live too far away, and also to stay in touch with acquaintances. But to be honest, I don't spend much time there, or in the net at all. I prefer to be active in the 'real' world.

The best thing that came out of being active on the internet was meeting the person I am writing a book with now, Peter Edwards, and also meeting a few people that became friends for life. On Facebook, I can share in their daily life, by seeing their posts (with pictures!), so that is really cool :)

I used to use it as a social platform, to keep in touch with people, but I've discovered hat most people aren't worth keeping in touch with anymore, they've moved and and thus have I. I'm still in love with it though, now I use it as a research site to look up spiritualism, latest scientific discoveries, etc, occasionally post and comment, browse when I'm bored and like a few hundred or so posts and share one or two. But yeah, it's mostly all science and spiritualism for me .

And to answer your question directly, I love it but I hate it, I'm also generally caught in between the net

I enjoy it.... Living in new York and having family in Kansas, it's great for me to stay connected

It's a privacy hack you know :P one that you yourself legitimate, however it's a pretty useful way of interacting with acquaintances and friends/family living abroad.

Even when P & Q went down, it was a way for us p&qers to stay in touch.

It can be both useful and tricky, depends on how you "take advantage" of it

I have literally no idea what either vegemite or marmite actually tastes like because we have nothing even remotely similar to it over here in Sweden, but it sounds absolutely disgusting.

Just a side-note.

They are pretty much the same, but Vegemite's stronger. Very yeasty, salty (but not salt) and ripe.

I'm not a member of Facebook yet, but will likely become one, but only so as to share news and updates of the book I am writing with Ingrid.
Like Ingrid, I'm not active on the Internet either, and much prefer having friends and contacts in the real world, rather than 'pretend friends' on the internet world that one never meets in reality, only just exchanging text on PC screens. No point, unless a friendship grows and one actually then meets the person and become real friends rather than a virtual world friendship.
I met Ingrid through the internet (via P&Q), and we now meet regulary in each others countries, and I'd advise anyone on Facebook, P&Q and all the other online sites, to leave their keyboards behind, and go meet some of the online contacts that they've made.
There's a real world out there guys..

I have an addiction to vegemite.

As for Facebook, I was never really interested in Facebook but quite a few friends and PnQers were really adamant that I make an account. I now enjoy it for the private message feature and it's lovely keeping in touch and seeing photos from PnQers and family members who live in different states or overseas.

I'm more of a fan of instagram though. It's nice seeing all the amazing things people manage to capture in photographs. Facebook is good for this too but I tend to get over a lot of the whinging and whining that happens on Facebook.

And your pix of your art in Instagram are awesome

Thanks Lar, that's really nice to hear. I am a little shocked that you said marmite is similar to vegemite though! I can't stand marmite.

Ah, you're a purist.

My mom was from Ireland. She used to bring back this certain Orange Marmalade every trip home because she couldn't tolerate the stuff made in the states. I went there in October and couldn't wait to try "her" marmalade. Guess what - I couldn't tell the difference.

Marmite rocks :)....that is all :p
