Its a decent way to keep up with people you do know that don't live in the same area.

This. The people I know on Facebook seem a little older than the ones on Myspace. The demographic seems to be towards a slightly older crowd. The one thing I hate is the two or three people who have 8000 useless apps set to notify whenever they hit some benchmark. Congrats on your Superwall. Have fun tending to your egarden. Stop sending me retarded shit.

Personally, I am about as social as a rock. I'm a huge tech geek, but I just can't get into all this social networking stuff. I'm certainly not going to plaster pictures of myself all over the web.

That reminds me, I need to turn off notifications for motorcycle madness on my Facebook. That game is addicting, but I don't need to subject others to it.

Twitter has a fantastic option for clubs or groups. I have one for my daughters' swim team - it gives parents the option to receive text messages. I can send an update to everyone, and they can have it sent via text to their phones.

Example - practice is closed or a meet changes locations at the last minute. I now don't have to pay for a service to send this information.

I've thought about doing it for trackdays....

Shit, I wish the Army would use it... drill weekend usually involves so many last minute changes, that it'd be useful.

Werd!! That and (as Carolina mentioned above) motorcycle madness. Of course, my own addiction (and how I spend a good portion of my lunch hour) is BejeweledBlitz.

I went through and turned off as many notifications as possible -- both ways. Everyone doesn't need a news flash every time I post something - if it's not to them, they prob'ly don't care!

damn bejeweled.... I believe my addiction is your fault.

I simply refuse to join any of the *games* that are simply status based - like that rockstar thing or mafia whatever. I don't have time - so I won't even start.
