Question: Why Facebook?
My Answer: It is interesting to have little mini interactions family and friends. Some I haven't spoken to in years! And it's honestly mind-numbing how many people are on there!
Question: Why not MySpace?
My Answer: You may not agree. I never joined MySpace, but I think it's the creepy version of Facebook.
Question: Is Facebook addicting?
My Answer: I've been told it is. Most evidence indicates so, such as people updating their status from their mobile phone. I'm too new to the process to know for myself. I think it may be fleetingly addicting.
Question: Do people like to chat on Facebook?
My Answer: It seems not. I see people are online, but no one takes the bait to chat. It seems the majority of Facebookers like to have a reminder that their friends and family are still out there plugging away; liking to see little glimpses of what they're up to that they can chuckle about. But, no chatting please.
Question: Why poke?
My Answer: I have no answer. I couldn't figure it out. I Googled it.
Online Answer: “A poke is a way to interact with your friends on Facebook. When we created the poke, we thought it would be cool to have a feature without any specific purpose. People interpret the poke in many different ways, and we encourage you to come up with your own meanings.”
My Second Answer: OK, so my own meaning if I poke you in Facebook is that I think you're wearing the coolest socks ever! And if you happen to not be wearing socks, then it means I like your hair today. If you happen to be bald, then it means that you should smile more.
Question: Biggest complaint about Facebook?
My Answer: If Google were involved, ease of use would increase through the roof.
Question: How can a person be slowly driven crazy?
My Answer: By a cat who is howling outside the door, and just won't seem to be quiet today!
Last Thoughts: It amazes me that all these online "find someone" sites like Reunion and Classmates are still running. Facebook does the job more effectively and for free. Their days are numbered.

Oh Facebook... I agree with you 100% about it. I like it because I have found so many friends from all over the place- high school, China, college, old church groups, all sorts of stuff.
I don't chat either, or poke. But I sure do love catchin' up with friends!
I didn't know you were in Facebook. Fun!
I love facebook! Just a glimpse of what some of my friends are doing without having to invest a bunch of time in emails or phone calls. Very casual. Also, when you can update from your phone, those long waits wherever you might be suddenly become doable.
I don't chat, poke, throw snowballs or toss food, but I have been known to accept and send flair. I just ignore most of the apps and the invitations to play mafia wars...find me! I wanna be your friend!! Anny is on too!
