Sticksboi05 Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Facebook was founded a decade ago today. When did you get a profile on the social media giant? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattFancy Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Had to wait for my school at the time. I was a Freshmen at Frostburg when Facebook originally came out but Frostburg wasn't on the list of schools to get it. I remember one of my friends at Tennessee telling me about Facebook. I don't think anyone thought it would turn into this. Definitely liked it much better when it was simpler back when it was only college students on there.

dfitzo53 Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 I got it as soon as it was available for my school. Stopped using my account only a couple months later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pjfootballer Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Have had mine for 3 years. It was good three years ago to catch up with people, but it's useless and I'm rarely on it. I hate to say this, but after reconnecting with some old friends, I wish I hadn't. Everyone has changed (as have I) and I should have kept the past in the past. Went to my 25th HS reunion a couple of years ago and while people had changed, most of them had changed for the worst. I'll never go back to another reunion. I've been thinking of deleting my profile for about a year now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HogNose Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 I created an account in 2008 to keep in touch with family, etc. Now I have to endure narcissistic updates from people telling me when they have to use the ****ter and when they are stuck in traffic. I'm thinking of getting rid of it or putting it on a serious lock down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcsluggo Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 I created an account in 2008 to keep in touch with family, etc. Now I have to endure narcissistic updates from people telling me when they have to use the ****ter and when they are stuck in traffic. I'm thinking of getting rid of it or putting it on a serious lock down. i have 4 or 5 people that i have just turned off the feeds from. (i don't "unfriend" them, i just don't see any posts from them unless i actively choose to go to their page, or if they post something that is tied to one of my other friends, or me directly.) I have another nephew that i have my finger on the red button for silencing... but i have been hoping that his 50 posts a day would die down ..... they haven't Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88Comrade2000 Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 You should've had an option for never; not everyone is on FB. I've been on it since late 2008 but it really wasn't until 2009 that I really used it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HBnotBlades Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 I was on it in 2004 when I was a senior in college, but I got rid of my account about 3 years ago. Can't say I really miss it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGoodBits Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Got it my Junior year of HS.. 2006. I thought it would be the end of facebook when "grown ups" started signing up for it, as I used to exclusively for friends and stalking attractive girls. When my mom friend-requested me, that was startling. Then finally I got sick of all the **** on there and cleared mine out. I unfriended or blocked anyone that wasn't close friends or family so I got substantially fewer updates every day, but I use it better now to keep up with people. It's MUCH better that way, a very useful tool when used properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Springfield Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 I got it in 2009, only to keep up better with my father who lives in San Francisco who was on it. Now I post regularly, but not daily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocky21 Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Isn't the true value of facebook hooking up with people you haven't seen in a while and seeing who from high school got fat? Yeah facebook isn't my thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corcaigh Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Isn't the true value of facebook hooking up with people you haven't seen in a while and seeing who from high school got fat? I find it very useful for checking out the photos of cute teenage daughters of all the girls you fancied in high-school Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twa Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 I don't remember, probably 06 or 7 use it to keep up with kids and others all over, rarely post on it and limit friends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zoony Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Seems like the three demographics that Facebook captured were, in no particular order 1. People who were in college during Facebooks rise 2. Middle Eastern men 3. Soccer moms, or those who have a similar personality Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ixcuincle Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 I used FB a lot when it started then faded away from it. Came back once I figured out how to manage the feeds (didn't want spam all over my feed). Everything has changed so much since back then. I remember when it was just a page, before everyone had to get Timeline. I remember when you had to register with a university email to get FB. I use FB every now and then to catch up on old friends and talk to people. I don't use it every day though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
