They aren't the panhandlers. The losers who have to use their service to drum up business are. The two Harvard kids just came up with a platform to exploit the socially inept and the professionally desperate. Good for them.

There are 40,577 UT students/faculty/alumni on the UT facebook network who might take issue with you calling them socially inept or professionally desperate. If you are between the ages of 18-25, attend[ed] a large university, and DO NOT have a facebook profile, then you would be considered socially/technologically/culturally inept.

You don't think this is going to work, do you?

Think what is going to work? It's the truth, and if you don't believe it, then you haven't spent much time on/around a college campus since the inception of facebook. Over 40,000 members in 5 years= very close to the entire student population during that time span. And from general knowledge of myself/friends/other students, its very rare that you meet someone on campus who does not have a facebook profile. I'm just saying it's pointless to dog facebook users, because if you do, you're calling an entire generation "socially inept."

Thanks for proving my point. As was said earlier, if you're dogging facebook, you're showing your age. That's all that I'm saying.

If you don't happen to fall into the facebook generation, take a look at how often your kids text/facebook their friends. Communication is much more casual among this generation, and it occurs constantly through through multiple mediums. I'm not sure how this can be construed as socially inept.

if Facebook is one of your primary methods of communication then I would consider you at least somewhat socially inept. If you've ever used one of the methods you describe to get a date then the transformation is complete

That 40k includes graduates from years ago to current freshman. There's no way 8k from each class the last five years signed up.

What does the size of the school matter? Plenty of people have facebook I went to school with. I do not. That does not make me socially/technologically/culturally inept as you claimed to those who do not have a page. That is absolute garbage.

That was in response to someone calling facebook users socially inept. I'm just telling you the way things have been on SEC campuses over the past 5, but more specifically 2-3 years. Take it for what it's worth.

So you called us all without a facebook page socially inept?

Still garbage...

The people I really want to 'keep up with' I can call or txt. I don't need to have 500 facebook 'friends'to validate my existence in life. And I could care less what some girl I met in an anthropology class 3 years ago is doing right now. If I meet somone I like I will hang out with them outside the Internet.

True, and that's a good argument. But to counter that, I think that I keep up w/ a lot more people because of facebook. If you see people on there occasionally, it reminds you to call them and catch up. There are definitely people on there you don't need to keep as "friends," and it shouldn't validate your social status. But at the same time, it definitely helps to remember names/people that you've met, and it helps to keep in touch with old friends.

If I need facebook to remind me to call someone they aren't that important to me.

Alright. I guess point not taken. To keep up with people doesn't have to mean that they're incredibly important to you. But if you are 21, you'll definitely learn in the next few years that it never hurts to keep in touch with a lot of people in a lot of places. It's networking, and it's always a good idea, no matter what your career path might be.

People networked long before and will continue to long after facebook.
