Do You Still Use Facebook?

Yep, pretty much use it solely for close friends. Easiest way to share stuff with them.

do u still rely on air as your primary source of oxygen?

Yes. My friends are all spread out now so that's the best way to communicate outside of calling them and I use it for marketing purposes for work as well.

Only really use it for the instant messaging, I never bother to update/share stuff.

I treat it like an interactive phone book. Plus, I love all the random/funny pix. People who post innane details of "eating breakfast" or "commuting home" get relentlessly tormented.

Great way to keep in touch - however, the recent increase in self-proclaimed instagram celebrities and the overabundance of mediocre food pictures EVERY SINGLE DAY is getting to me.

not to mention the incessant usage of hashtags

I deactivated my account a few months ago and have seen my productivity increase. Didn't realize how much time I was spending on CNN's page making fun of people.

But on the other hand, I don't wanna miss out on anything because I'm not on FB.

only log in if i need to msg someone / expect a msg from someone, use it for nothing else.

find it kind of useless now, don't really care where random ppl went on holiday/got drunk/had for lunch/their cat's breakfast. plus don't have the downtime to kill anymore.

I know the feeling of missing out from not having FB, however I think that you gain so much more from simply missing those things. It gives you a great sense of who is actually important to you and forces you to deal with facts when you don't want to talk to someone anymore: now people aren't being fooled into thinking you're friends with them, and neither are you.

I deleted my FB last year, along with my Twitter and whatever else I may have had. I can't imagine ever going back to social networking sites.

I mostly use it to wish people a happy birthday and stay in touch with a few people. To all the people struggling from FOMO (fear of missing out), life will not end if you don't see a crappy picture of a Starbucks muffin with the commentary "photography #swag #yolo #NYClife" once a day. If anything, it gets better.
