Imho, the people who sign up are providing free content for FB. I don’t provide content for free. ---

I had one briefly, closed it, and never went back. ---

Never signed up for Facebook. As I’ve heard it described, there’s just nothing there to interest me. ---

> [@Superhal](#): > > Imho, the people who sign up are providing free content for FB. I don’t provide content for free. I’m sorry, but I doubt that FB really cares if _I_ provide them content or not. It’s not like my FB is some fabulous realm that draws in lots of hits for the company. I use it to keep in touch with family and friends and sometimes to post articles that I wish to read later but don’t want to jot down or add to my favorites toolbar. ---

I have a Farcebook account only because some services and memberships actually require you to have one to use their service or post on their site. ---

I don’t have one, but I didn’t click ‘never’, I might get one some day if I can ever find a reason. ---

> [@knel3030](#): > > I have a Farcebook account only because some services and memberships actually require you to have one to use their service or post on their site. which ones are those? I use online services a lot and I’ve never needed to have a facebook account, hopefully that doesn’t become a trend. ---

I’m boring and have no friends. No one would look at my page and I’d just feel like a loser. ---

I voted “Never” but I do have an account under a fake name so I can play Words with Friends online. Facebook keeps asking my fake identity if it knows various people. I have even gotten non-spam friend requests from people. ---

That’s the primary way people use FB, not going out to individual pages of friends. Newsfeed. Your timeline is pretty much synonymous with your personal page.
