How many of you are on it? I know a good number of you are because you are listed as friends. I'm just curious how many of you have gotten caught in the mire as I have.

Incidentally, here is my profile over there. If you're on FB and not my friend yet (and I actually know you from in here), please feel free to add me. Just make sure to identify yourself in your friend request (tell me your screen name).

My whole family jumped on facebook at the outset. I still think that I was the first person on facebook over the age of 30. We're a big family with people living all over the country so it works well for us. But, I only go on there about once per month anymore.

I'm a victim of the timesuck... but since I don't live in the same city where I grew up, it's nice to keep in touch with old friends from back home.

Yeah... rationalization... try going a day without one.

I LOOOVVVEEE facebook. I originally got on it to spy on my children; now I have more friends than they do. It is still very useful for spying purposes since these kids seem to forget I can read everything they write. In the case of my teenager's old gf, it is definitely TMI.

I've reconnected with old high school buddies all over the world, and my best friend from elementary school. It's a great way to stay in touch with people without too much effort.

I'm already your friend JP.

I'm there, begrudgingly. It's become such a good networking tool with no real competitor that I do hit it up once or thrice a day, even though it seems like a lot more since my Twitter posts auto-update my Facebook status.

Wut?

I've been on there for a year and joined just as the big wave of people in my age group started joining. It's been fun reconnecting with so many people, getting to see their family pictures, renewing a lot of old banter, etc. I don't spend a lot of time on it but do quickly check it a few times per day. Plus I get notifications on my Blackberry. LOL.

I signed up for it a few months back, but it just served to emphasize how boring my life really is. I'm ok with that, but I would not subject others to a blow by blow account of how I made coffee in the break room this morning.

What? There's actually a man in the working world who not only knows how to make the coffee but in fact does make a pot in the break room?!?!? Now that would be totally worth a facebook update!

This seems to be a rather gender independent phenomenon. There are only two people in my office (me and another guy) that will make the coffee, everyone else just mooches.

LOL - I love Terry Tate!!!!

Same at one of my two office coffee pot locations. I swear I'm the only one on campus who makes a new pot. Some days I make a new pot EVERY time I get a cup!

Big reason I have my own personal coffee pot in my office. Not only do I not have to worry about making others' coffee, but I also don't have to drink the swill they all deal with
