How bout the whole insidious nature of Facebook, and how they have intentionally designed it to be as addictive as possible. I am actually surprized they haven't targeted FB yet.

It would be a poor show if they'd intentionally designed it to be ignored. But I'm with you on the insidious side.

I like FaceBook. It's the only contact I have with my kids. That said, I only remember to log on every few days, and then see if they've posted any new pictures of their kids. The band uses it to advertise.

So, if it went away tomorrow I'd be a little bummed about my kids, but it wouldn't really mean anything.

if the anarchists say 5th, bet your life it'll be the 4th or the 6th !

I only use Facebook for photos and keeping up with my friends scattered across the globe.

I have lifetime memories on there. If they get rid of my photo's, I'm gonna be FREAKING P.O'D LIKE NEVER BEFORE!!!

It strikes me as weird that anyone would use FaceBook as storage. I keep everything on my own hard drive. FaceBook is for posting things I want people on FaceBook to see. PhotoBucket is for storing things I want to post anywhere else, like here. If either of them died tomorrow I would lose nothing except a connection to that site. Meh.

Now days younger people relate to the web as The Web....its always been there and always will be.
While uploading content to some sites maybe safer than keeping it on a PC the best solution is to burn staff at some high quality media and keep it somewhere safe.

Ok, that's fine, but say FB disappears off the face of the planet - can you access those photos without FB? Idk, but you may want to check before you rely on it.

Facebook is for gloater's who think there so much better than the rest of us. Look at me I got 50 thousand friends!

I would not miss Facebook.
