The most pressing issue of the day

[altariel]

A friend recently suggested that I join Facebook. I was on Facebook at one point, in fact, but it bewildered and slightly irritated me, so I deleted my account. I didn't want to play Scrabble, and I kept on getting things thrown at me, and while I'm working I try not to be online, so I don't have windows open with Twitter, IM, LJ, etc. etc. (Because I find them addictive and I'd play with them rather than work.) So I'm not clear how I'd integrate it into my working day or indeed my life.

But then I know that's just me being crusty and bad-tempered and reclusive, all my least attractive qualities. Not to mention indecisive, so I'm putting it to you, friends list:

[Poll #1421396]

Please feel free to tell me why or why not.

Twitter is out, though.

Unless someone can give me a really good reason.

I joined it, and my daughter laughs at me because I have like 3 friends, including some Kellner from Argentina who speaks little English, but is friending everyone with his surname who will have him. She has like 600 friends, all from her High School.

The kid tells me FB is going downhill because all these old people are joining. She has no idea what we need it for, because we never do anything cool worth posting. She is waiting for the next hip social networking service to appear so the kids can abandon FB and leave it to the uncool.

So, I hope you join so I can add a 4th friend, the third who speaks English and I actually know.

JFTR: I tried to find all my old friends from when people rode dinosaurs to work, and not one has a FB account.
