No facebook account = suspicious

Omg, the world is getting more and more crazy every day. They are going to give you 1000 reasons why you have to put all your real data and pictures of everyone you've ever met on Facebook.

I've heard Facebook was planning to launch some kind of a job market app. You possible future boss can see all your messages, drunken linked pictures and all the 'funny' shared crap you've ever posted. No, thank you. I hope I won't have to use it.

You can almost see Zuckerberg laughing manically and stroking his white cat when he reads articles like this. He is one step closer to global domination if the consenus is that people who don't use his site are deviants!

I wouldnt equate No facebook account=Suspicious

but that said i do know someone who wouldnt keep one for years as he was cheating on his girlfriend on nights out and he was afraid one of the other girls would cop on.

I don't see the point of FB either. I've a cellphone to communicate with my mates so why do I need that ****. All I'm seeing there are stupid sad statuses that I don't even give a single ****.

I have to admit, if I met an Irish person over here who had no friends from his home area he could introduce me to, coupled with not having a FB account, I would think it pretty likely he was running away from something sinister. People with a vague past usually have one for a reason.

why would they want to share their friends and personal **** with you if you've just met? i personally know people i wouldn't add on facebook, its my private space, my business and my business only. no hard feelings.
sure here, have a look in my wardrobe or better still i'll show you my bank account!

I recently opened a facebook account having not had one for years and years because I needed access to some facebook only sites..tag rugby etc to join

it has 13 "friends" on it that are only there because they were email contacts in the email address I supplied

Having got access to what I wanted I rarely ever log in and I dont respond to friend requests on account of not wanting people from different areas of my life to link to pictures of me out drinking whatever etc that have been tagged.....

I think its an invasive, kind of insidious thing in a way.......I'm not a mass murderer and genuinely have very little or nothing to hide but I'm not really comfortable with the idea that everytime you go out etc pictures of you can be up for all to see kinda keeps me nervous and stops me from relaxing when out sometimes if a person you know with a facebook account that simpl must take a million photos and tag you specifically in them is on the prowl........you all know the person I mean too I'll bet

I hope Facebook dies a death in favour of something less invasive.........wonder if all the bebo migrants to facebook will join up and migrate into linkedin in a couple of years

WTF are people talking like this

I will re phrase.

Say I met an Irish girl, over here, who did not have FB, or even someone from another country/ different part of Australia. Things are going well, she wants to move in together.

Yet I have never met one friend of hers from her hometown, and have no evidence she is even in any contact with anyone back home bar family.

You would not be just a tad suspicious of whether this person has something to hide? People who have no discernible past usually do not have one for a good reason, I have met a few people in my time like that.

no i wouldn't be suspicious at all. maybe she uses Badoo, Orkut or yes Myspace. maybe she doesn't bother and uses just skype and email, msn, google chat. its endless.

I'm in my mid thirties and don't have a FB account, I'm also not in contact with anyone I went to school with and haven't been for 15+ years. I have browsed facebook and have found that I'm the only one from my leaving cert class that doesn't have an account.

You'd hold that against me?

I have valid reasons for not being friends with these people - wouldn't have much in common with them now and most of them were w*nkers in school anyway. Maybe they're different now but I really don't have any desire to find out if this is the case.

I'd actually regard a lot of this "friending" that goes on to be quite pathetic. From my LC class I see that people are FB friends with those who bullied them in a vile manner. Not only are they friends with each other now, they're also friends with each others' wives/gfs. Pretty bizarre in my view.
