I know you guys use it. Just like when you spend your time watching doramas rather than doing your work, you do the same with facebook.
Okay, so who does?
:yell: Speak up.

they have really idiotic titles but fun "GROUPS" that you can join that relate to Japanese Dramas, (i.e. Erika Sawajiri and her Masterpieces, Addicted to Asian Dramas, J-dorama addicts, YAMAPI4life, Johnny's Entertainment has taken over my life, and so on).

What's facebook??

REALLY, you don't know?
It's like a myspace, frienster, but way better. It orginally was designed to be used by University/College students around the world to keep in touch, but now it's open to everyone. There are still privacy settings which allow you to disallow others from seeing your profile.

Here's the wiki:

Here's the site:

It's just another social website like Myspace or Friendster, but mainly geared for students.

Well........ you learn something new every day. Never heard of it.

Myspace and friendster are probably much better known :)

Well it's kinda cool because they have "GROUPS" that you can join that relate to Japanese Dramas, (i.e. Erika Sawajiri and her Masterpieces, Addicted to Asian Dramas, J-dorama addicts, YAMAPI4life, and so on). It's fun. :mrgreen:

AWH! If you want to, you don't have to, you probably don't want to, but you can just put in your regular email if you still don't have your uni/col/highscool email.
No :sweat:

I've been part of facebook for quite a while and even though I do my own graphic design/webdesign and totally enjoy the freedom you have in myspace, I find facebook much better.

Myspace is not only slow half the time, but some people don't have the slightest idea how to mess with XHTML etc. and just end up making a mess with their page (not to mention a dozen videos and songs loading at the same time X_X)

Facebook restrict how much you able to modify (which is not much) but does allow you to add app's to make it a bit more fun. Furthermore, the people on your facebook list are real friends and people you know, unlike myspace which you see 2000+ friends in someones list and half of those are people they don't even know, and even includes porn stars lol.

On the down side, facebook is owned by the government, and everything you write, put up, and say is actually saved/recorded and can be used against ya if something was to occur. Furthermore, they able to sell your information, including your taste in music, their random polls, personal info etc. to other companies and you have to deal with it X_X.

Exactly which government owns Facebook?

Anything you put, say whatever on myspace can be used against you as well. I know someone who was arrested on charges partly based on a photo on his myspace page. Any of your email accounts can be subpoenaed by law enforcement w/ court order.

Chairman Kim would not approve of such capitalist acts. TaintedWisdom's (how ironic) conspiracy theories on spying and such WOULD be approved by our beloved Chairman Kim.
