I only started using Facebook about a year ago, and it was due to law school.
I only started using Facebook about a year ago, and it was due to law school.
That's the point I was trying to illustrate! :]
LJ is a site I think many people joined because of EoFF, I know I would never have joined LJ if it wasn't for this place. Facebook, on the other hand, has some EoFF related things on it, but being a member of EoFF doesn't mean you're more likely to get a facebook than if you weren't a member of EoFF.
EoFF > fb > adding eoffers to fb > ruining my life with spam
I will say fb makes it easier to start eoff orgy invites though!
This month has 5 Fridays, 5 Saturdays and 5 sundays. This only happens every 823 years
Facebook told me so
*asks*
I joined because my friends from high school and college were pressuring me to get one. PEER PRESSURE! I had no interest. I decided to do so because I got tired of deleting their emails and texts from my inbox. I ended up staying because it's easier to network with people when I can't remember their name on my phone because for some reason I thought it was a good idea to not put last names and now I have like 18 Justins. No lie.
I should maybe answer the question. Except I can no longer remember why I joined Facebook. Or rather, who I joined it for. I remember joining MySpace, 'cause this chick from my first internet community asked me to and I knew a few other people had it. And it took me a year or two to get into it. And I took notice when people started migrating to Facebook. I remember getting an account and loathing the set-up of Facebook. It was so cluttered and messy and noisy. And it still is. Extremely. But I've gotten used to it. All the ads on the side, all your BS on the other side. And all everyone else's BS in the middle. Ugh. And now MySpace is copying all that. But I've left MySpace behind. Not only because everyone bailed and I don't want to be there alone. But the only people I know who still use MySpace are really immature and generally emo. Granted Facebook has a lot of that. But it has everyone else too. Everyone who left MySpace and doesn't use both. So I stay with MySpace for mature people and amusing ... things. There's a couple of people on my news feed that I generally look forward to updating, 'cause I know I'll get a laugh. But I still can't remember specifically why I joined in the first place...
I joined facebook because of EoFF!
EDIT: Okay, I didn't really. I joined because all my friends stopped using myspace.
I joined 'cause Facebook is a great site full of fun, games, and friends! I love Facebook.
Rep this post if you want me to add you!
I threatened to keep emailing cz's msn account with fb invites, so he has a fb account set to super duper private. everybody should do that. then fb will know 100% of emails.
I honestly don't remember what my original intention was when joining facebook.
Bow before the mighty Javoo!
I mostly just joined to see what everybody was talking about and why they were spending so much time there.
I joined specifically to see why Rantzien had to find out what everyone was talking about and how he could spend so much time there.
I moved over from mysapce. I didn't use it at first. I think it was like 06 or 07 when I joined cause you had to have a school network I think to join. At the time I was like, "wtf no one is here" but eventually everyone went there. No eoff involved even though I have quite a few on my fb.
