They all have pretty important stuff going on, they just don’t feel the need to post it to the world. They will laugh when I mention this to them. > Your post is pretty good evidence of the affect of facebook on the World. lol You can’t even work email and I would assume your friends have a similar skill level… Seems pretty logical you wouldn’t use facebook. ---

So you agree that if you have important stuff you must be on facebook? Facebook is now a status symbol? LMAO. ---

> [@Blue Eyed Devil](#): > > So you agree that if you have important stuff you must be on facebook? Facebook is now a status symbol? LMAO. You’ve twisted my words around. I never said that if you have something important you HAVE TO SHARE IT ON FACEBOOK. I said if you actually have the time to HATE something you have zero use, affiliation, or action with, you must not have much important shit going on in your life. A vast difference. Why hate something that has nothing to do with you, that you don’t want to use, or have any use for? ---

I think your taking Blue Eye Devil’s use of the word “hate” far to literally in the context of the conversation. ---

Follow your favorite bands, bars, venues, restaurants, annual events, etc… to hear about anything they’re doing upcoming. You could have a twitter account and never write a tweet and still have it be extremely useful. Yep, if you own a business and are not on social media, you could be shooting yourself in the foot. People are on facebook most of there damn lives, so if your business is on there, they don’t need to leave facebook to get info about your company. Although I’ve seen some companies that abuse it and then it becomes as annoying as the people we hate on FB/twitter.
