I’ve been on Facebook for almost 9 months, ask about my experiences. My “friends” are mostly former clasmmates and family members. ---

I’d be willing to bet that your experience with Facebook is much like most peoples’… Joe ---

Will you feed my chickens on Farmville? 😃 ETA: Also, do you find that people threadshit very often in Facebook? Cause it seems to happen from time to time on SDMB, as **Crawlspace** so eloquently demonstrated for us. ---

At the risk of usurping what could very well turn out to the thread of the century, could I suggest that further topics you cover include: **Ask the guy who posts to the SDMB** **Ask the guy who eats food** and possibly **Ask the guy who breathes in and out on a regular basis** ---

I only play Family Feud and teh MindJolt games. In fact, I’ve been tempted several times to organize a Farmville intervention against someone. Though she’s less into Farmville now. ---

> [@etv78](#): > > 32, and only had my own computer around Xmass. You do understand that the perspective and experiences of someone with a Facebook profile aren’t going to be particularly eye-opening to the majority of people around here? Among my friends I was among the latest to get a Facebook account, and that was four years ago. I’m not trying to be snarky, I’m just honestly confused as to why you started this thread. ---

[Mockery withdrawn](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=577271). However, just as a friendly pointer to the OP, there are now [1/2 a billion](http://www.facebook.com/press/info.php?statistics) active users on Facebook, meaning your 9-month old account, sadly, doesn’t really seem to elicit much cause for interview - unless there’s something about your account that is out of the ordinary that you are going to reveal later in the thread. ---

> [@canadiankorean](#): > > 32 and you just got your own computer? > to me that seems so weird… > > sounds normal if you are 18 but 32… I was in my late 30s when I bought my first computer: it was [one of these](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commodore_VIC-20). However, I’d first programmed a computer at the age of 19. Back then, no-one dreamed that there would be computers in every home: in fact, the average computer required enough space that you would have needed at least an average home to house it. But enough of the hijack: I too belong to Facebook, having joined it before any of my children did. Now it helps me find out (approximately) what they are doing. ---

I’m going to have to start a “ask the guy that hates ASK threads”. You should at least pretend to be unique. ---
