Ello, I love you, let me jump in your game?

Why won’t anyone invite me to join?  I hate Facebook, too!

      I plugged in wkinsella AT hotmail DOT com, but nothing has come back at me.

      I sit, ever patient, beside my Inbox. In that way, I closely resemble a dog, waiting for master to come home.

    apparently its popular because they allow porn, lol, and oh yeah they arent going to treat humans as a marketable commodity:) I cant wait to hear how they are going to make money, did I mention, porn,lol. Whatever you do, dont post your noods.

    Interesting concept – but it costs money to run sites – so I wonder how long this manifesto will remain in effect. One can hope.

    One of the best things I ever did was terminate my Facebook account. After 2 years without Facebook (and as a previously heavy user, mainly to post and comment on news articles) I can say:

    a) I don’t miss it a bit.
    b) I have more meaningful conversations with real friends – people I deeply care about.
    c) I’m happier (less mental clutter, frustration with people’s stupid self-indulgent status updates, etc.)
    d) I haven’t lost the ability to communicate with casual acquaintances – I have their e-mail addresses. Funny how I’ve had little reason to e-mail them though…(and vice-versa).
    e) when I see someone on the street I can say “what’s new” and actually learn something new!

    For anyone who has considered cancelling their FB account, you should try it, you might be pleasantly surprised.

    (the preceding thoughts are not an indictment of those who use Facebook or Facebook itself, just my personal experience)

    If I was in the Inner Circle, I’d send you an invite. But I am not. Why? Perhaps Woody Allen, paraphrasing Groucho Marx, said it best. “I’d never join a club that would allow a person like me to become a member.”

    I got an invite. Just saying.

    never got involved with facebook. It always reminded me of a bad marriage, you know where the spouse always wants to know what you are doing and where you’re going and who you’re talking to and then using it against you at a later date. Having had enough exs. it was just easier to pass on facebook. Haven’t missed a dam thing. My life went on, my health is good, car still works, my friends still are my friends. who could have guessed.

    Now this new thing, can some one explain it to me,

      So from what I’ve read, it’s a new site currently (like since Thursday) growing exponentially because … it’s somewhat similar to Facebook, but allows people to be anonymous and upload porn, also, there’s no advertising. On the negative side, the functionality is still quite primitive, so there’s no “find friends” feature for example. Also, ironically, there are no privacy features to speak of other than that you don’t have to use your real name.

      Could grow into something interesting, but as of now it’s for early adopters. Me, I won’t bother (who would invite me?) and I never bothered with facebook either.

    I’m sorry, but this has Google Plus written all over it. Pan, meet Flash.

    its a plot set up by ISIS. when they find out who uses porn they will behead the guilty ones. LOL
