So I'm not sure how many of you use Facebook but as far as I'm concern I used to check Facebook on my phone every few min just to see what people were posting but ever since I became more active on TRF everything has changed I seem to look at FB maybe once or twice a day but I'm on the forum every few minutes looking for new threads where to learn things from and those others that put laughs and smiles on our faces!!!
Thanks TRF for letting us be a part of something so special

Has this happen to anyone else?

Rolexitis · 7 August 2013, 01:00 PM

I check both. Facebook pisses me off and I don't know why I keep going back! Lol

Piloto · 7 August 2013, 01:00 PM

Funny, I was thinking about this earlier.

<--- I'm not on FB!!!! At all. Period.

TRF and WUS pretty much does it for me. I have to be the only person that I know that does not do FB.

FB is just too public and catty for me. So, with this in mind... Greetings my friends.

Tudor66 · 7 August 2013, 01:02 PM

I've never had a Facebook account, and I spend enough time on TRF to make up for it...

sergio671980 · 7 August 2013, 01:06 PM

I always felt I was gonna live out my life clean!!!
But I most confess: I'm an addict, I am addicted to TRF

everyone

I closed my FB account several years ago.

AzPaul · 7 August 2013, 01:27 PM

Hard to believe but I actually have family and friends with little or no interest in watches.
If nothing else, facebook gives me a way to keep tabs on their illness.

shnxx · 7 August 2013, 01:47 PM

I use fb quite a lot.

SUBversive · 7 August 2013, 01:55 PM

No FB for me

JohnAndrew · 7 August 2013, 02:06 PM

I check Facebook a few times a year.

Never even attempted or had any temptation to join FB! My daughters keep sending some invite thing to me, however I really could careless what someone else is doing every single minute of their lives!

cop414 · 7 August 2013, 08:41 PM

No facebook here, my kids keep telling me that I "have" to get on facebook.

GradyPhilpott · 7 August 2013, 09:19 PM

The idea that one must post the minutia of his life to the internet for the whole world to read is a dangerous one.

Lol

I wonder about the age of the average member here given the responses to this thread...

Too public?

YOU decide what you post, what you share and who you add. You can lock down your profile completely so it doesn't appear on google, so no one can see or find you even on the search etc.

joe100 · 7 August 2013, 09:46 PM

Facebook is useless. Keeping in touch with moldy friends and relatives we really don't care about? No thanks. Besides, FB is just a popularity contest in a global scale.

I'm on TRF a lot because I have quite a bit of downtime at work and it passes the time quickly for me.

68camaro · 7 August 2013, 10:39 PM

I never used FB or any social media, not sure whats so important that had to be posted as soon as thought comes to someone's mind......

rolio · 7 August 2013, 10:54 PM

I was on FB for about a six weeks, a few years ago. Then, I was unable to get into my account one day, so I shot them an e-mail questioning as to why I no longer able to get into my account. They said they would investigate. It's been over two years with no response. A blessing in disguise, I figure.

Rags · 7 August 2013, 11:02 PM

I'm always on FB. I use it for my real estate business. I post my for sales & open houses.

fedefiore · 7 August 2013, 11:05 PM

My mind goes back when "I will never get a cell phone, because those are only good for doctors and pushers".
FB, is a new way of connecting with people and you can use it the way you like, it's becoming more and more a business instrument as well.

Been on fb for 9 years now. It used to be a party. Now it's just a stream of humblebrags and complaints. While it would be, admittedly, inconvenient to delete my FB account altogether , I spend more time on google plus nowadays. My whole family is on there and the automatic photo backup is amazing. ;)

I did FB for a while and then got tired of peoples stupid posts and rants. I mean do I really need to see that you are having a coffee at Starbucks or your getting a haircut...

Sometimes less is more....

rolio · 8 August 2013, 12:19 AM

I figure our time is limited on this earth. I should be selective in how I spend it. This forum is one of my indulgences.
