I have a facebook and a myspace. was procrastinating studying for a math test in lockwood with my g/f and roommate, she got us both to sign up. it’s nice, got in touch with a lot of people I wouldn’t have otherwise. Even chilled with a few over breaks when I was still in school. Now I have relatives in their 50s joining. my sister is 30, she and her husband joined. Party invites are often sent out only through facebook (newell from buffalo rising, wouldn’t have known about his party otherwise). He decided like 2 days prior to have a party, and it was a success because of the networking abilities of facebook actually, I was trying to remember the name of Lockwood (been out of UB for a bit now). googled it, and this came up haha > **[University at Buffalo Libraries](https://www.facebook.com/ublibraries/)** > > University at Buffalo Libraries, Buffalo, NY. 2.4K likes.

> [@Dex](#): > > we just email each other, but to each their own. :tup: yeah, I wasn’t trying to bag on. Ok maybe a little bit, but the way you use the tool is completely up to you. I personally don’t use the applications, nor do I be-friend people that I don’t know in an effort to score women or grow my friend list. Just a good way for me to check in with old friends, see their pictures and get updates of what they have been up to. Just stay in touch in general. I am on linkedin as well, but I find that to be more of a strictly professional site that doesn’t really allow you to be social in an “outside of work” way. ---

I just set up a facebook recently. I like using it to connect with friends from school that I haven’t seen in ages. Plus I am using it for personal means of promoting events I am involved in. But I’m not one of those people that are posting about every little thing or replying to everyones comments and pictures. But it is pretty cool on how many people I have found on there in such a short time. And a lot of 30+ YO people are on there too. I don’t have a MySpace. I hate MySpace. too much shit on the page. ---

My gf was able to find long lost family she never knew about, thanks to facebook/myspace she learned she has a brother and a sister. I hate myspace with a passion, but I find facebook to be quite useful. ---
