Me too.

I check in to it every once in a while, and it is with family only. Great way to share instant pictures of what family is doing. Just don't go on as often, since I got onto this board. Grandkids will text me, if they want me to see a picture that they have posted.

I use it andmsn.cm instead of a newspaper. That's how I find out about specials & adds. Also get newsletters through FB.

I totally agree! Never have, never will!

Patti Sue 07-09-2011 07:02 PM

me too!! could do without the games etc.

I use it with high privacy settings. I have a few friends I see on there. I also see fun quilting, sewing, painting blog updates.

It is really irritating me now that I cannot enter a contest without letting everyone on facebook know that I have.

SuperiorThreads 07-09-2011 07:41 PM

Thanks for all the input! It's good to know that this forum is used to a wonderful extent. :)

Quiltaddict 07-09-2011 08:31 PM

I do have a Facebook page but seldom ever check it, maybe once a month or so.

butterflywing 07-09-2011 08:48 PM

i unsubscribed or unregistered or whatever after reading in the newspapers (yes, i read the papers) how easy it is to get hacked through facebook. facebook has a lot of privacy issues that are still being addressed. if anyone wants to find me, they can call me or email me. if they don't know where i am, then i probably don't want them to. everyone i love knows where i am.

slk350 07-09-2011 08:55 PM

I use it mainly to see what friends and family are up to. Don't post what I'm doing usually, but once in a while post pics. But, love seeing others pics.

cctx. 07-09-2011 09:04 PM

No facebook for me.

I am not comfortable using facebook either.

ashlett 07-09-2011 11:17 PM

Yep. I do, am very carefull what I put on but just found a very good home for my old sewing machine through facebook. also keep in touch with people.

overdew 07-10-2011 11:51 AM

Yep. Guilty.

The next time you see one of those posts, Look on the upper right of the post, for a little x, click it, and the drop down gives you three choices. Click hide all posts. Works for me.

I use Facebook a little bit, both personally and for my business

Addicted to FB. Love keeping in contact with out of town family and friends. Also have several quilting & craft orgs.

Jo Mama 07-10-2011 07:55 PM

Mostly reply to invitations for parties and to friend's comments.

Lynnie25 07-10-2011 10:46 PM

I use Facebook, mainly to play Lexulous (Scrabble games) :)

I do follow a few quilting group links too.

Dotha 07-10-2011 10:50 PM

I really enjoy FB...keeping up with long lost classmates and old friends. I am guilty of playing a few games also. Recently sent photos of a headstone to a guy (his parents). He lives far away so it was good to be able to help him out. I would have never been in contact with him without FB. That goes for many of my FB friends...plus a few friends that I have made on FB.

luvTooQuilt 07-11-2011 04:52 PM

Nope, not me.. Id rather be quilting... Hubby has has an acct, I just don't see the need for me to have one t too..

diamond68 07-12-2011 06:25 AM

I use fb everyday. Several quilt stores have specials weekly and its a good way to find out. I also "like" Superior Threads. I enjoy seeing what everyone is up to.

Ditto.

katyquilter 07-12-2011 12:10 PM

I'm on facebook, but only have a few friends :cry: I only use it to keep up with my three children who don't live close to me :cry:

kimscruzer 07-12-2011 12:31 PM

I love Facebook. Anyone want to be my friend ? Look me up . Anyone have any good Quilting Site on thier friends list?

Pam Perry 07-12-2011 06:04 PM

Pam Perry 07-12-2011 06:06 PM

Me, too. :-)

Julie in NM 07-17-2011 04:40 AM

No FB for me or texting either. Family/friends have my phone #, email and know where I live. I also don't drive/walk w/cell phone attached to my ear.

janell2009 07-17-2011 04:42 AM

I use FB for friends and family great place to share photos and find out what everyone is doing. I love this quilt site as not so much junk to week thru.

jamie Watson 07-17-2011 01:31 PM

I use facebook to chat with new friends and family and play games

Baloonatic 07-31-2011 06:27 AM

Family and friends mostly. But if I want to say ANYTHING remotely private it wouldn't be on Facebook!

Sneed 07-31-2011 06:29 AM

Looked at it. Didn't care for it. And, don't have time for it either. So, NO! I can barely keep up here.
