    Can you trust them at all? Or are they too mysterious/creepy/private?

    nope. its strange and weird for people who grew up around tech and computers and email to not have one. its almost if one has to go out of their way NOT to have a facebook account for this demographic.

    too cool for school?

    don't want people "knowing your biz"?

    don't understand the need to connect online with people?

    A couple reasons:

    1) I don't feel the need to show everybody my business, and I figure that they won't care about 95% of it anyway, so why waste my time? The people that I think would want to know my biz will already know, whether I'm on FB or not.
    2) If you want to stay in contact with me, do it. But don't pretend to be my friend because you send out mass invites to hundreds of people at a time.

    I don't do that. I am only friends with people I really know and am friends with in real life. I think it is a great way to keep in touch with people and see what's going on in their lives. I love see my close friends pics from vacations and stuff like that. Just wondering, are you a quiet and shy person? Were you or are you very social?

    To me it doesn't have anything to do with being shy or social. It is just an odd media for some things that people use it for. Pictures I can understand. But you have been able to do that with Picasa for quite awhile. Other people have announced deaths and births and those sort of things on FB before actually telling their extremely close group of friends or family, and that strikes me as strange.

    It strikes me as a crutch for people to psuedo stay in touch with people without actually having to put in effort of being a real friend.

    I had facebook 4 years ago but quickly deactivated it after too many people were creeping my shit. Does that count?

    The way I see it is, if I wanted to contact you, I'd simply call/bbm/skype you.

    In a way, that would be its appeal to me if I were under 35.
