Do you use Facebook?
First topic message reminder :
Hello everyone,
I just wanted to start a topic to see if there is anyone here on BD that uses Facebook and if so, what do you use it for? Do you use it just to chat with friends or distant family? Do you use it as day to day timeline of your life (yes, some people do this for some reason), do you use it to share photos and videos, do you use it to view pages or groups, maybe you use it to promote a bussiness or bussinesses?
I know that a couple users on BD that I know on a more personal level have a Facebook and use it regularly/daily while others have an account, but rarely ever go on it.
I also seem to always hear people say they don't use Facebook anymore, but they use Twitter and Instagram. Then if you try and bring up Facebook in a conversation, they say 'FACEBOOK! WHO USES FACEBOOK ANYMORE?' and I always roll my eyes because I mean its not like Myspace that died down awhile ago.
Let us know what you think and tell us your comments.

Re: Do you use Facebook?
I agree, personally I like the way the system is now, but I now why they want to change it: Monetization. They cant really monetize the current chat system very well, whereas they can with the messenger app system.
Re: Do you use Facebook?
ya true but i will have to force myself anyways since there changing the site anyways LOL.
Re: Do you use Facebook?
I know I did mention this before but I am still annoyed by the stories I got to scroll up and down to see what I am posting. I don't add stories like my friends do or even the pages I like even. It is short video that ends in no time. The last time I did post something on my story my birthday last year. I do like posting things on my news feed. The messages are real different but I am getting use to them. I am sure there is more changes at some point too. Just my thoughts

Yeah it's the same for me, I never post stories, yet a ton of them come up on my feed everyday.

Yes I could take most of the time just watching all of these stories that my friends or the pages I like post on there. I am on there enough doing other things on there with groups or pages or just checking the new feeds or even sharing things on my timeline. It seems with these stories they want you spend more time to watch the stories on there. But it takes so much time to do that. I also noticed that added in a background when you posted a status update. I did try it one time before but I wouldn't do it again. It is very cool but I wouldn't use it at all. Just another thing I did notice on there along with a icon to add a smiley face or something like that. I didn't use it at all but it was there to use. Just some other things I did notice on there

Well most people must like it or it wouldn't exist. And all the big platforms are doing something similar to it, so it must be popular with the youth or something.
Re: Do you use Facebook?
I log into Facebook every day but I'm more of an observer than a poster. While we're on the subject, the site has been locking up on me a lot and this forces me to reload it at least twice. I wonder if anyone else is having this problem.

Definitely only a problem for you, try clearing your browser cache and see if it helps.

No I don't have this problem at all. I usually clear the browsing history and it is fine for me every time. The only thing that does happen to me is some times get my password wrong and got to put the right password in there. That is the only thing that happens to me some times. I hope that helps

Re: Do you use Facebook?
Facebook is apparently getting into the online dating industry now as well from what I hear.
Re: Do you use Facebook?
Well that is not a good news since I don't want to be dating someone over Facebook. Just doesn't seem right at all. I also seen that you don't get your password right it sends you in a e-mail a numbered code to get into your account. It seems real dumb and they are just following Mircosoft since they do the same thing with Skype. Just gets annoying with so many e-mails you got to deleted after you put the right password in and got into your account. That is my thoughts

Re: Do you use Facebook?
What you experienced there Josh called two step verification, it's become standard on most big websites now. The idea behind is that even someone guesses or hacks your password, they wont be able to get in without having your phone or email address access. Its actually smart, just a pain is all.
Re: Do you use Facebook?
i don't have 2 factor set on mine cuz it is hard to get back in at times been there before i don't like it much

Well even if you don't have it set up, if you login on a new device, reset your password or it detects suspicious activity, it will automatically revert to two factor.
Re: Do you use Facebook?
From what I know about this type of verification, its safer and more secure than single step verification. Such is also becoming the norm even if its annoying and bothersome.

Thanks for clearing that up Brandon. I had no idea what it was since it has happened a few times for me. I am also not a fan of any of the ads on there. I keep hiding the ads since they are too annoying to look at every time. It seems the ads are all in short videos now. But that is all about I have seen so far. I am sure there is more coming at some point

Re: Do you use Facebook?
I do have Ad Blocker on Google Chrome. I don't see a lot of ads just some times I do see ads on there. But too much other things I have seen mostly just login thing that happens some times. Just annoying deleting those e-mails every time since I don't use the code at all. Since I get logged in at some point

I haven't been getting ads on Facebook at all, but I am pleased to know that there is a way to get rid of them.
