The sole purpose and goal of Facebook is to sell advertising.  No conspiracy plot by government or the Illuminati or Bilderburg group is necessary to explain Facebook's existence.   Facebook provides a free service not out of the kindness of its heart but to find out what you like and what your friends like, then direct the appropriate products to your view.

Haha good thread. I will readily admit I use it 90 percent of the time to benefit my conquests.  5 percent is to cuss the fuck out of my friends trying to appear to be "cool, interesting and sophisticated" on there and the other (only) 5 percent benefits me financially  >:(

 Initially, it was a pic sharing college party finder. Now, it's a massive marketing scheme and information gathering system. Sure, the old argument of "if you have nothing to hide then your fine" is being applied here by the fb sympathizers.  Alas, it is the principle of human privacy and formal interaction that has eroded becasue of it, and if we have no principals then we have nothing. It is also lame when even corporate mega businesses have their own facebook page to spew their propaganda out...just look at oil companies such as BP and EXXON..they'd love to have you believe they are gods gift to earth...

Why should i participate in a scam that makes these morons rich and have power over my personal information? All the images shared are vaulted forever even when deleted. Im gonna need some money for that. The ipo made enough for fb to dish out a million to each user....

And yes the world is overpopulated. Why are the bleeding liberal hearts so convinced that humans have a divine right to reproduce at such unsustainable rates? Then these same liberals cry about us damaging our precious environment when the only solution to the environmental "tragedy" is to vastly decrease birth rates..

You're superior. Way above the rest.

Is this all you have? Cause you've self exiled to china? of course your fb fodder. You probably spend many a waking minute on it out of loneliness and isolation....longing for home...(no offence).

Then again, that's what fb does...exploits the worst traits such as attention whoring, loneliness, and predatory stalking guised as genuine interest, and THEY make money off it. lol. Why dont they pay the users? Whats that? casue its a free? service? lol nothing is free, jimbo.

I agree but don't forget those bible thumpers who think they don't have to care about overpopulation or pollution because a magical man in the sky is going to descend from heaven and fix it all.

I heard on the radio today that facebook is only worth 1% of what the current owners bought it for. They are struggeling finding ways making much profit from it. That stock is taking a nose dive.  ;D

Myself I never saw the point of facebook due to most people being attention whoring morons on there posting useless crap that I couldn't care less about.

And I do agree with adonis on forums like getbig being better and gathering more creative and intelligent people(yes alot of idiots too but you get my point).

Can you guys tell me about your accomplishments?

I'm writing a diary and all.

If I wanted to tell people online the details of my life, I'd have the facebook.  ;D

Government agencies created Facebook as an experiment on information gathering using a persons narcissistic ego against itself. All the information goes into a super commuter that sorts people into categories.

Be serious man. The government couldn't care less about fat, whiny attention seekers.

We (people) are communicating in a cyber way a lot more that in a "face to face" way already, so... FB is juct one of the "Cyber worlds" for the communication of the "New age" (which will prevail I dare to say), just one of the mirrors of a changing society, nothing more. Most probably society will literally "live" in virtual worlds after some decades, leaving a "real world" for physical sustainment/etc.. Just wait till a good "computer brain" interface arrives. "Traditionally minded" people will try to oppose all that, but due to evolution they will cease to exist as the time will go by. It's all changing, just deal with it. Don't use FB or any other social net if you don't like that. BUT - don't be surprised if one day you'll lose some kind of work/personal relathionship or other opportunoty due to that stagnated and conservative mind of yours, as - most people will be using all of that and creating "social dynamics" there, which will affect real life in many different ways.

I personally don't use FB too much. 99% of my "status updates" are some quality music (and there are people in my friendlist who appreciate it, so do I), some nice pics from my trips to various places (I'm interested to see some of the pics pike that of my friends, and they like 'em too, I think), that's about it (aside a good way to get "newsfeed" from places like "WIRED", "The Wallpaper", favorite bands, etc...). I can't understand these who lay down the details of their private life for everyone to see either. I think it's pretty stupid to give out your privacy that easily. But that's their business, I live my own life..

Smartest post in this thread.  Just look at who the financial backers were of this site.  All Jewish ran corporations and banks.  They saw an opportunity to promote and pump this site through their media sources making it sound like a news story but really was just plain advertising for the site.  They knew they could filter all sorts of personal information for their gain.  They could either pay some marketing research firm millions for "thinking" they have the info on people or actually knowing everything about people.

Once they knew the gig was almost up they pushed to IPO to get their profits before the house of cards collapses.

People that say they like it to stay in contact with their families are the people that beleive this is the only venue for that from all of the media attention promoting facebook in that way.  bunch of sheep.

I like to see some of my good friends pics of their travels/events, and FB is a very comfortable way to share all that with certain ppl. No need to take it seriously, as it's as serious as you make it to be.

facebook is one of dozens of ways to do the same thing , but the media attention and promtion of facebook makes people beleive it is the ONLY way.  But once you see the investors behind this site you'll understand how they got all the media attention.
