How Many People Rely On Facebook To Keep In Touch With Family And Friends?
-
I do not really rely on it for keeping in touch I use face book to play games.
-
somewhat, it is just easier to use than keeping track of phone numbers.
-
I don't get on there very often but when I do I get to talk to my dad and half sister and step sister, and a few other relitives but I don't get on there and chat for hours my dad like it simple and short.
-
I don't rely on Facebook for anything, but it does help me to keep up with my children. They like to tell all of their business.
-
I Really Do My Family is spread all over the world and it wasnt until facebook before i even knew what any of them even looked like
-
I've never been a fan of Facebook - I don't trust their ethics one iota. I keep in touch with my family by visiting in person, talking on the phone or via Skype, and good ole email.
-
That is about all I can do anymore.
-
My Belief as far as facebook is if you dont put anything on their noone will see it as far as visiting in person not possible my sister is in miss my nephew in va my neice in sc and the rest of family in north carolina and west va and im here in southern md dont drive and my husbands car is broke yet again
-
It seems to be easier that trying to keep track of their Phone nrs, My family seem to change their numbers quite often.
-
100%
-
I don't go on FB that much. If I want to talk to my friends, I'll text them or send an actual E-mail. I'm also making a skype since I'm starting college in the Fall.
-
I am on their all the time. Great way to keep in touch with family and friends who live far away. We share pictures of our kids and families, pets and selves. Good for when you don't get together much. I find it a great way to find some old friends and I have found alot of them and re-connected. I love Facebook.
-
i have many family members that that is the only way i can stay in touch with them and know what's going on. even though i don't like facebook much and am not on there often.
-
I do like to use facebook to keep in touch with relatives who live far away. It is cheaper than long distance calling.
-
I was using it but more and more of my friendz are leaving it. One left it cuz her parents joined!!! Its good for signing up for things, a lot of free stuff you can only get on facebook. So I will probably keep it for that reason alone
-
I barely get on facebook anymore. Too bogged down with ads.
-
I don't rely on FB to keep in touch with anyone. I used to get on there. Now its so overloaded with junk & businesses...not for me. :peace:
-
I really do a lot of chatting and keep tracking with family and friends back home thru facebook.
Somehow it keeps you updated with their lives.....really helps coping with homesickness.
-
I have foung lots of my family and friends on FB, thanks for keeping in contact
-
I do.I also play gnometown.But it is a good way to keep up with family and friends who live out of town
-
my brother is the only one in my immediate family NOT on Facebook.
I like it; Otherwise, I wouldn't know what my nieces, nephews, or cousins were doing.
I don't get emails or phone calls from them.
Two or three of my cousins are not on Facebook and, unless I reach out to ask about them, I don't hear any news.
I have met new friends on Facebook too.
-
yes I do, that's how i talk to my sisters
-
I really like it, use it everyday, for keeping in touch and to see what events are coming up and to play some games.
-
DONT HAVE FACEBOOK. MY KIDS DO AND THEY ARE ON THERE ALL THE TIME.
-
That's primarily what I created my account for and found that it was also a good tool to reunite with former classmates. But then, the drama filled status updates started to get to me and I had to deactivate my account. Reading all that messiness is not my idea of fun, but since I'm relocating out of state in January I may reactivate it then to keep in touch with fam.
-
I use Facebook mostly to keep in touch with my friends and family. I also use it lightly to promote some of my money making endeavors. You never know when your friend or cousin may want to sign up with a program and start making money as well!
-
I use it daily, to keep in touch with family and friends, and to play one game. I've made some nice friends this way.
-
My family lives far away so, we share pics and comments from time to time. I like to see that they are doing well. On Facebook I also got in contact with family members that I had lost contact with in years. After searching for a while, one day someone replied and I found nieces and nephews that I didn't know I had. Now, we chat all the time and share pictures so even though we live far apart we are closer than ever.
-
I've never been a fan of Facebook - I don't trust their ethics one iota.
This is frue I read an article on the news week sight about the security of facebook and I have stopped using it.
-
I don't rely on it but I like to keep in touch w/friends and family I don't see alot and I like to play games on it.
-
It's not my main way of staying in touch, but it's nice to be able to see what my family is up to and chat sometimes.
-
I Love My Facebook ,Dont Know what i would do without it,have all my family on thier except my parents but i see them almost everyday
-
I do like FB to keep in touch with my family and friends. I do not do LIKEs to many things, however.
-
:D I don't rely on it but I used to it because I want to keep memories without carrying!!!
-
Never did understand ,unless yur family & friends lived far away and needed to exchange pictures,.if they live in the same state, just call & say Hi
-
I d since my family is all in different states.. i love fb :wave:
-
I use facebook to keep in touch with family and friends. I have such a large family which makes it hard to keep in touch. With facebook I know I'll be able to keep in touch our at least up to date on what & how everyone is doing.
-
thats what i use it for occasionally i play games
-
I use facebook to keep in touch with friends and foster families that live in a different state as well to play games sort of away of getting rid of stress.
-
I use facebook occasionally to keep up on all my friends. as far as the security issues I don't put anything on there I don't care if the whole world sees. remember once it's on the internet it's always out there.
-
That's one of the main ways that I keep in contact with people. My two best friends and I use our personal e-mails, but everyone else I talk to via facebook messages and keep up on people's status updates. I love it for posting and viewing pictures too! I'd never have the time to share as many photos as I do without facebook.
-
I keep up with people on Facebook--but what I really like about it are the photos some of my friends post. Sometimes they post videos--and especially when these are photos/videos of their cute kids (!) I really enjoy checking.
-
I wouldn't say that I rely on it, as I have emails and phone numbers. But it does help keep up with my family and friends as most of them are on FB.
-
I don't "rely" on Facebook to keep updated, it is just the easiest way to keep in touch with everyone without having to make a lot of effort...
-
Facebook has made it possible for me to reconnect with many of my family members. I enjoy using facebook for this reason. There are other sites popping up that share the revenue with the users. These sites are very similar to Facebook but getting everyone to switch to a similar but revenue sharing site is almost impossible.
-
I Agree with the photos have cousins in other states havent seen in years ,if not for photos wouldnt even know what they and their children look like
-
I have no idea! I have a hard time figuring out, how to use Facebook? I try to go to my daughter website! But I can never figure out. what's new and what's old I have a hard time. Posting their because I am so busy! I spend a lot of time online making money! A and having fun doing that! So I don't hold Facebook a lot lately I guess I should go more often. And then figure out how to do things like posting pictures I got a real good coastal picture of my great grandson! We were at the zoo or is third birthday party. And I got a real cute picture of him there. But I have figured out how to move it from my photo file is. To Facebook.
-
My family lives near me (well, most of them) so I don't use facebook for that. I use facebook to keep up with the people I went to school with and check in places that I visit.
-
As a long distance parent and grandparent, I find Facebook good for keeping up with the kids and their activities. Something funny that happened that day that they won't take time to call and tell me about is easy to share on FB for all to see.
-
i agree with that
-
I use Facebook, sometimes to keep in touch with certain people, sometimes so I can just keep up with whatever is going on with everyone I know. I use FB to make money here and there as well.
-
I hardly use it. I sometimes would rather not see my kids on there, telling everything about themselves.
-
i love facebook. the best
-
I do not rely on it to keep in touch with close friends or family. However, I do keep up with friends through Facebook that I haven't seen in years.
-
I have 2 grandsons that live up north and I get to keep in touch with them through Facebook. They put the childrens pictures on there and I can see them as they grow. Not the same as being there with them but it helps to see them. I have family here and friends on facebook that I keep up with. May God bless each of you and keep you safe.
-
I must say everyday all day I am on facebook. It's an all day thing to me, it's like a job. Talking and playing games :thumbsup:
-
Honestly, Facebook sucks now. Way too many changes.
-
I use Facebook mainly to keep in touch with family and friends. But I don't really make a big deal out it nowadays since it's not personal like it was when it first launched. They should make the profiles more customizable.
-
I do
-
Facebook allows me to stay in touch with family and friends and also to get back in touch with people I have not seen or heard from in years. I have reunited with old friends from high school on Facebook.
-
I rely on face book for all my relatives out of state. Helps me keep in contact with them.
-
I am sure millions do. But in my opinion FaceBook has been becoming boring for me.
-
I use facebook to keep in touch with people or find long lost friends.
-
I use facebook for a variety of things - staying connected with family and friends is one of them.
