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 got sucked in last month

Granted, I had an excellent reason for it.

But I'm much happier now that I've managed to turn off almost every alert save the "I want to be your friend" alert.

However, that's not a yes vote. I fully support being reclusive and bad tempered towards technology.

Dwim, still without LJ

You joined Facebook before LJ?!? *horrors!*

I'm fairly sure I have a spare Dreamwidth code, you know....
