What is this Facebook?
It is a book of faces and is made of pure evil.

Not a chance. MUCH too interesting to read posts from the butt-hurt people, plus there's no filter like here on WB.
And the memes are to DIE for.

Well... I wouldn't say there are any books of faces over there... but I'm sure you can find many people who would agree that Facebook is made of pure evil.

I think WB makes us pretty weird, too. Where else would trekking poles (or the lack thereof) cause predictions of impending apocalypse?
All my relatives are on The Blue Site. I use it as little as possible, particularly since so many of my relatives have politics that disagree with my own and insist on inflicting them upon me in that medium. (They are rather too polite to start political arguments face-to-face, but The Blue Site does indeed make people weird.)

I refuse to use any of those type of sites. I value privacy, posting here is bad enough.
It's weird, I know, but I have friends who don't hike all that much and aren't all that interested in the AT. They wouldn't know a Doyle from a doily.
I don"t have a facebook account.
I prefer The Straight Dope.
Starting to look like "old timers reunion here on WB" Howdy all you smelly hiker trash.

well i most deff am not an old timer and i do not have a facebook account. Its just full of drama and people who over share. I would rather call or even text a friend on my pone to find out what is going on or how they are doing. It is much more personal and shows that you are thinking of them in particular not just trolling the web out of boredom.

Yep
Even groups like ALDHA is nothing but dumba$$es posting stupid promos their own $hit or mundane photos.
Some old turds been posting passages from his book hes hawking for months. I quit even looking at site for trail news, too annoying now. If thats what site owner wants it to be, F it. Same with other sites overrun with newbies doing same stuff.

Made me smile.

Hi Storm !
Ditto...............:)

it's amazing to see how so many folks and kids allow Facebook to become the center of their universe,
I never use it, but can see how some families would enjoy it to keep in touch and share photos,
other than that I consider it a waste of time, and to be avoided

whisper down the line effect, or "WDTLE", in an environ of 435 " friends" ....12 of whome you know at all.......becomes "SDOLE"
( shout down online effect)
with no moderation, the number off adds for HARRP or dateing if your single, combined with prostitutes sending friend invites whos friends pics look like LA gang members.
then there the trolls and the followers you met once on a train who " like" everything you post till your creeped out.
here were free to bust on stuff like skidsters chin, Atroles Hair and MAGS blubber if we choose.
hehe.
its a cathole that facebook.

I never did join Facebook.
Too many people I know that did say that it is a huge time waster.
We did join Instagram so that we get the latest family pictures.
Speaking of family pictures ; we got a great WiFi picture frame for Mom last year.
She does not use email much any more. The frame has its own email Address so pics we send are automaticallyddisplayed.
Pretty cool and she loves it.
