I was wondering when everyone out their first Joined Facebook and how old you were when you first got onto Facebook. I am asking because I can't imagine being on Facebook back when I was in High School or even College.
I joined Facebook in 2008 when I was 25 years old and already out of College and High School.
It would seem so different to be able to see what everyone thought, or was up to, or their relationship status or their mood back when I was in High School.

I joined facebook in 2006 when I was only a junior in college. Someone added me as a friend and I decided to create an account.
-
I joined Facebook in 2011. I was in my early 50's and, on my birthday, which will be in 63 days, I will be 55. I go on there to play games like Criminal Case, Hidden Express and more. I have friends and relatives on there. :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :wave:
-
I joined facebook. I think it was in the end of 2009, if I remember correctly.
-
I started the topic because I believe Facebook has a entirely different meaning and influence the younger you were when you joined and especially if you were still in High School when you joined Facebook.
How about how many friends you have on Facebook and also in relation to the age you joined Facebook
-
well guess I joined a few years ago. wanted to keep in touch with some of my relatives.
-
I've never joined , although my teenage son has it. If i want to be nosey and see what is going on I look at his page ,lol
-
oh probably about 5 yrs ago.i was 46..my daughter got me onto it to play a game with her.been on it ever since..lol

June 22, 2007
It was the summer before my senior year of high school.
-
February 2008 - I was in college....some kids on my floor set up my account for me, but then friends started adding me, so I kept it.
-
I think it was in mid-late 2009 when I created an account with Facebook. Before that it was Myspace, but I didn't use it all that much before it changed. I still have an account though I never use it. I log in to FB at least once a day I think to read up on pages that I follow of things I'm interested in. I only talk to a couple people, though not on a regular basis. I can honestly say that I generally don't give a crap about the majority of posts I see from FB friends. Lol

joined 2010 at first didnt care for it, then i notice some cool games now thats all i do play games..
-
I joined in June 2008 after I was already out of college and long done with High School. I have lots of high school and college classmates as friends on Facebook, but I was not able to see their profiles and pictures and status updates when I was still in High School or College.
I would think it would lend to a vastly different High School experience if I knew what everyone was up to and what there thoughts were via the Medium of their Facebook pages.
Does anyone who joined Facebook while still in college have any experiecnces or thoughts to share??

Facebook came out in 2004, but I didn't get on until 2008. that would have put me at age 37. I was on Myspace until October 2008, then jumped to Facebook.
it is alot of fun making new friends. a word of warning though, if your friend requests go unanswered, you can be blocked for 7 days up to a month. same with requesting people that you don't know.
-
I joined fb about 6 months ago, so I could better keep an eye on my son's electronic activities. It's more fun than I thought it would be.
-
I think I joined in the beginning of 2010 when I was 22. At the time I just signed up because my cousin had just had twins and that's where she had posted the pictures. But I ended up staying because it's been a great way to keep in touch with everyone.

I'll let you know when (or if I ever) decide to join. I have serious ethical issues with how Facebook chooses to abuse member's data. Alerting people how they sell their information behind their back and only provide you an option to "opt out" after they've been "caught" is not an honest way to do business. Since I work in a field that handles people's health information, I'm highly sensitive to how businesses handle their data, and Facebook fails miserable in my eyes.
Plus there's the fact I have zero time to maintain such a thing. From what I've heard, most of the items on Facebook that I might have found useful has been taken away, and I haven't heard any good words about their current timeline format for posting information. Seems every "improvement" is a step backwards (...much like Microsoft...oops...did I say that out loud? ;D).
-
I think I joined during my High school days in 05 but did not used it much until 08.
-
I joined in May 2008. One of my professors kept requesting me but I had no clue what it was until two years later. At that time only three people I knew were using it. Now just about everyone I know has a fb page.
-
I joined facebook maybe 2 or 3 years ago I think I don't even know how old it is.
-
39 and im very selective no one under 18 should be on there
-
I knew I was not quick to join Facebook and that it was out before 2008.
Personally, for me I think being on Facebook while still a High School Student would have changed my High School experience ... if I girl liked you you could maybe see her write it on her wall, or you could see who traveled where, worked where, what people thought of sports, politics, etc all while you are still in close proximity with them via the High School experience.
-
I am 61 and joined a few years ago, but I have disabled my account numerous times. I get tired of it, but it is the best way to keep up with my kids who live out of state.
-
Me too, I never did it for HS but at 25 I had to join to work on a project with my college friends.
-
I joined I think about 2 years ago. I only use it for information on bands I like. I don't use it for a social thing.
-
Guess I got on Facebook about 3 years ago. I am 43. Back when I was in college AOL and chat rooms were popular.
-
I joined FB in 2007 or 08 ... I've been able to reconnect with some long lost friends and I can keep tabs on what my graddaughters are doing.... they are 13, 16, & 20. I am sure the younger ones would have a hard time remembering life BEFORE facebook!
I am addicted to Candy Crush and love playing other games, too.
-
I never joined Facebook but have been thinking about joining it. We'll see in a couple of months of so.
-
I joined in 2007 because there was news reports of the Virginia Tech shooter and his profile on facebook and the only way to access it was to have an account of your own. At that time, almost none of my friends were using it.
-
I haven't joined facebook yet. I've seen too much fighting and offensive remarks on it. It seems like a form of high school clicks to me. If used right it's probably a good way to keep in touch but not everyone uses it that way.
-
I joined a few years ago but only did I start using it this year because of family and friends that are thousands of miles away its much easier to email and keep in touch with everyone in one spot it has its good and bad have to be super careful what you post and who you interact with something I believe escapes a lot of people's mind!!
-
I joined Facebook about 2 years ago. I retired and enjoyed playing the games on facebook and also keeping up with friends, posting pictures and reading other people's posts.
-
probably when it came out which was right around then.
-
My first social media was Myspace. Quickly went over to Facebook in 2010. Haven't changed since. I don't do twitter either
-
I started off with Myspace first too and than switched over to Facebook in summer 2008.
I was about 25 when Ijoined Facebook and a lot of my friends were already on Facebook. Facebook was not around for me in High School and may havve been just beginning by end of college, but not many people were onto it yet.
I acutally beleive that being on Facebook and being active on Facebook while still in High School adds a new social dynamic aspect for the youngest upcoming generation now that was not around for anyone who graduated high school before Facebook cam along.
-
It has been 4-5 years since I have been on FB. Back when I was in College (in the 1990's) AOL was a popular thing along with dial up. Chat rooms were popular in the day. Do chat rooms even exist anymore?
-
I haven't joined Facebook nor have I joined Myspace when everyone talked about it none stop in middle school/high school... I didn't feel like connecting with strangers or feel safe giving my info to any social media websites (Dem hacks, frauds, and creepers).... I did join Crunchyroll as a streaming/social place but I haven't used it for a log time (3 years or so)
-
I joined fb in 2009 when my best friend was leaving for Germany to be treated for leukemia. It was going to be our way to keep in contact til she got back to the states. Unfortunately while she was going through her treatment she passed away. But I don't think I would have had a reason to use fb if it wasn't for that. Now I can't imagine not having it.
-
i joined facebook this year. At first i wasn't going to join but i changed my mind since i just start a small business and it been great for keeping in touch with family and friends since i mainly don't have most of my family phone numbers on my father side and most of them have a facebook page.
-
Back in 2005 when I was in college.
-
When did I join? That's a good question. I think I joined about 5 years ago, but it may have been even earlier. I can't remember for sure. I spend way too much time there and plan to cut back.
-
2005. I think you still had to be a college student to join back then.
-
I am not sure when I joined. I has been quite a few years that I have been a member though. I like the games on there and also keep in touch with family and friends that are miles away. I enjoy face book and usually use it everyday. :) :cat:
-
About 6 years ago...I remember I spent the next 5 months of my life glued to the internet.
-
3 years ago
-
I joined FB 2010. ;)
-
I joined FB when I was in college. I was on myspace before that.
-
2009 I think, then I quit. Joined again in 2010. I don't really care for it, but it has a few uses.
-
probably about eight yrs ago
-
Never!
-
I was a very LATE in joining Facebook, but I am so happy that I finally did!!! I have so many friends there plus I really love to play so many of the games :)
