If you're old enough to have a job and to have a life, you use Facebook exactly as advertised, you look up old friends.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
It used to be the case, like you'd switch jobs, and then maybe you wouldn't keep in touch with all the people that you knew from that old job, just because it was too hard. But one of the things that Facebook does is it makes it really easy to just stay in touch with all these people.
It's fine to have social media that connects us with old friends, but we need tools that help us discover new people as well.
I use Facebook quite a lot to keep up with my friends, although I had to delete 'Words With Friends' from my phone because it was wasting too much of my time.
I got into Facebook late, and I think if you get into Facebook late, you tend to use it the right way, as opposed to the people who got into it sooner and friended everybody and now have a thousand friends. I keep it at about 80 or so, and they're all people I know. Just because I do a movie doesn't mean I friend everybody in it.
Facebook now is mostly about people you know. In the future it could be about people you know less but are more important.
I love Facebook. I could brush my teeth with Facebook.
Facebook is not your friend, it is a surveillance engine.
A lot of people have put their lives online and are using MySpace to manage their social lives.
When Facebook first started, and it was just a social directory for undergrads at Harvard, it would have seemed like such a bad startup idea, like some student side project.
Facebook isn't helping you make new connections, Facebook doesn't develop new relationships, Facebook is just trying to be the most accurate model of your social graph. There's a part of me that feels somewhat bored by all of this.
