Dave, me neither. I had an account for less than a month and then cancelled it because I didn't find it that interesting compared to the hype I've heard from my friends. - imabonehead

I can see maybe connecting with old school chums. But I don't really see its use in business, and I have an 18-year-old daughter who's made it clear it's HER TURF. Seems to me we've got plenty of other places to play -- here, and associated spaces, plus blogs, plus LinkedIn, which is big-ish in St. Louis. And in my field, I really like AdGabber. - Mary Baum

I'm with you, most people I know are on it and active members, been trying to avoid it. Not 100% sure why, just never got into it. - maxim shevertalov via twhirl

i don't like any other sites,i got an account 2 an it's boring,lmao - amy

I'm an FB user, but only minimally. I mostly use it to keep in touch with friends long since lost. But actually logging in... not much, I get my updates and such via an imaginary friend setup here at FF and also I get updates in SocialThing, consequently I almost never log straight in to it unless I need to reply to someone, so as long as they don't lock anything off from access, I could care less about it. - nick carrasco

The rest of the planet doesn't seem to care much about facebook either. So you're definitely not alone. - Luis Figueiredo

I am still a member over at Facebook - but purely to remain connected with old school friends. - Jonathan Beckett

I stay for the Scrabble, pure and simple. - Kevin C. Tofel

I like to have my FB pge automatically updated by other apps like Twitter, Last.fm etc. so I don't actually have to go to FB and do anything. That way it looks like I'm somewhat active to people who are interested and I don't have to bother. - Todd Brunner via twhirl

I do like the FB private video mail, especially to connect to friends who are on FB & noplace else. - Brian Rendel

I don't, but I also don't give a flying fcuk that you don't give a flying fcuk - in the same way that you don't give a flying fcuk on my views on Bebo, Google, Seesmic et al, for sure - Ivan Pope via twhirl

i don't use it much but we're out of the demo - watch a gen y interacting w/ their tribe sometime on fb - they're it - mike "glemak" dunn

I agree. I tried to use for marketing purposes, it failed miserably. Then I tried to use it for fun and it was worthless. - Globecode

I think Facebook is a good tool. Maybe if you are Dave Winer you don't need it. - Vic Podcaster

May be user error, but FaceBook didn't seem as useful as hoped. I thought it'd bring cool convos together. I still have to hunt. - MiɳiMagɘ (Sexy Scimitar)

I've been a Facebook user till recently when they decided to disable my account. Here is the link to the whole saga http://friendfeed.com/e/500756... - Vic Podcaster

It was a great way to communicate with close friends and family while 5000 miles away - Sally Church

No me too. I never liked facebook - Svartling

Facebook started off with excitement, and ended up with apathy. FF started with curiosity, and has ended up with real social interaction. I know where i'm spending my time... - Iain Baker

You're clearly not alone. I have yet to sign up. - Tsega Dinka

Oh is that what that FB stands for on my FF nav bar. Now that scrabulous is gone, not sure what the appeal is, unless you're trying to reach the younger crowd. YUK. I do like Knighthood though, let's you paWn your coFBers. - JMac of Earth

Yikes! Controversial New Yorker Cover Shows Muslim, Flag-Burning, Osama-Loving, Fist-Bumping Obama

If the New Yorker wanted attention, they now have the complete, undivided attention of the story generation department of the news media. We'll be reading analysis on the overcoverage of this for YEARS. - Mike Seidle

Is the cover any less satirical then a Colbert Report? If this cover makes anyone actually think twice about Obama then we are screwed. - Chris McLean

I have no objection to parody, or to political cartoons pushing the limits, but the POV is lost in this cover and I find it singularly unfunny. *shrug* - I don't think it'll have much impact one way or the other, anyway. - Sarah Vela

We are screwed. - Art

@Sarah It will have a huge impact on the people who don't understand satire or those who choose not to acknowledge that it is satirical. Expect to see it used in many anti-Obama email forwards, blown up poster size for anti-Obama rallies, etc. - Erica Baker

@erica time will tell. my guess honestly is that it will blow over. - Sarah Vela
