I think Facebbok is a Waste of time for people that have nothing to do, designed to connect people that juts want to kill time, because they have nothing positive, lucrative or profitable to do, ecxept those that do selling and find Victims here. I hope I’m not the first to say this, but I am not a fan of this time wasting and my favorite thing on Facebook is go in once in a while once a week may be and see how much valuable time people is wasting

Turn off the email updates :) There is such an option.

I like Pages on Facebook. I can't stand junk apps and "seductive" ads, and being invited over and over to be someone's friend or fan. Facebook is close to being the got-to for modern society. Soon people will be utilizing the Facebook Connect feature for purchases. Once Facebook become "modus spendus" look out, the sky is the limit. Don't believe me? Let me ask you this: What did you think of PayPal when it first started to appear? If you're anything like me, you thought nothing of it, but now try making a purchase online without it being an option, if not the only option. Facebook already has the credibility to do what took PayPal years to accomplish. My recent post 30×30 Video Weight-loss Journal

I too think facebook is annoying – or, really, some of my facebook friends use it in an annoying way. I've thought about deleting it – reducing the daily "noise" – but, for now, the vast majority of my friends and contacts are not on twitter. For that reason, FB is a good "outpost" for me.

I have found several ways to make FB less annoying: 1) Turn off all email notifications. This way I'm not bombarded all day long with FB. I can pay attention to it when I choose to log in and I'm not getting emails all day. 2) Hide, Hide, Hide. I hide just about every FB App from my news feed. I don't care about someones fish or mafia or whatever so I just hide them. Then the only news I'm seeing are my friends posts, updates, pictures, etc. I also hide friends (shhh – don't tell them) that are particularly annoying with their status updates and such. You can still look at their FB page if you want to tell them something or look at their activity but you aren't slammed with it every day. 3) Block notifications/requests. If you have friends that send you a request for every app under the sun, you can actually block all requests from that user. They never know the difference but you don't have to click ignore every time they want to view your birthday on their calendar or want you to join their zoo.

I do like that you can have picture albums vs. the random twit pic. I even like that you can schedule an event and invite your friends – much simpler than contacting everyone individually or sending snail mail invites.

There's good and bad. I just try to minimize the bad and make it work for me in a more efficient way.

I hope I'm not the first to say this, but my favorite thing on Facebook is the "ignore all" button. I also find twitter far more fun and rewarding (I'm in the process of trying to convert my friends). But in the meantime I can't delete my Facebook til i can prove it's guilty of completely wasting my time and not yielding any blog hits.

I actually receive more traffic through facebook than twitter, even though I probably invest more time at twitter. My recent post When It’s Good to be Wrong About Theology…

I have a Twitter account, a Facebook page and a Blog. And I love all three for totally different reasons.

Twitter is where I keep up with others in my business industry. It's also where I feel ok about posting more trivial things that happen in my life.

Facebook is where I keep up with most of my IRL friends & family. It's an easy way for people who know me to find me and my contact information. I don't update it nearly as often but like to use it for occassional pics of the kids, and keeping up with people who I would otherwise NEVER cross paths with in my daily life.

And my blog. My true home on the web. The place I feel like I can truly write as much as I want (I don't like the 140 char. limit on Twitter).

What I also know is that people on FB (that I know) aren't that savvy. So they may ONLY go to FB. So that's where I put occassional links to my blog. Otherwise they'd never find my blog. ;)

They are all interconnected for me but I use them all very differently. My biggest pet peeve is the people who use Twitter to update their FB. Facebook isn't intended to be used the same way as Twitter. IMHO. ;) Thanks for asking.
