<p>I feel old enough already, thanks.</p>
<p>Omigosh. </p>
<p>Yes, I feel very old.</p>
<p>FWIW, my kids hardly use Facebook, Myspace etc, either. Though, perhaps at 22 and 25, they are old, too.</p>
<p>yD is a Facebook addict, oD would not touch the thing with a long pole. yD deleted her Myspace page declaring Myspace “the creepy place where old perverts ■■■■■ for tweens”. :eek:</p>
<p>Ha ha, BB. My 18-year-old D did the same thing a few weeks ago. Her transformation into college student required a redesign of her online persona and the more grown-up aura of Facebook compared to MySpace.</p>
<p>Well I don’t have facebook - but I do have a myspace page (and I remember Sputnik).</p>
<p>Great way to sample new music groups.</p>
<p>I don’t think I’ll delete my MySpace for a good long while.</p>
<p>It’s been a great way for me to keep in touch with high school friends who graduated before me, and now, to keep in touch with my friends who are still there. 
Because most of them don’t have Facebooks.</p>
<p>We just came back from 3 campus visits, and a prof at one told me that if I had any other questions, I could “find him on facebook”. Yeah, right.</p>
<p>I laughed when Jeff fired his helper on “Flipping Out” because he visited his Mysapce page over 100 times in a few days on Jeff’s dime. Good future lesson for kids when they get jobs.<br>
PS-I work for myself so I can be here as I wish.</p>
<p>I am used to watching TV shows on TV (we have 5 in our house). My older daughter told me that she watches all her TV and movies on her laptop, surfthechannel.com. She started doing it at school because she didn’t have a TV. Now she’s got me hooked. It’s got my favorite TV show, 24, and all the first run movies.</p>
<p>It’s possible that the roommate in question has a Facebook page but has it set up so that she cannot be found in a search. This is possible. So, it’s a little naive for the OP of that thread to assume that the roommate is Amish. :)</p>
<p>I created a FB page, at the request of a college friend who was trying to re-connect with old school friends. My D thinks it’s “weird” that I have a Facebook. One of her friends was looking to add her as a friend, and told her that just under her listing was my listing. She thinks its creepy. I think D needs to get over it and accept that kids don’t own the internet!</p>
<p>My husband has a facebook page. He uses it mostly to post lab parties, outings and weddings. Everyone seems to want to be his friend!</p>
<p>I’ve got a facebook page and have exactly two friends. I use it mostly to play scrabble.</p>
<p>I was about to post that I’m on Facebook, with only 15 friends, more than half of them related to me–but, wow, mathmom, 2 friends? I’d “friend” you, but then my anonymity would be lost!</p>
<p><em>snerk</em> I’m 23 and not on Facebook. It’s amazing how much it shocks people.</p>
