DirtyDT, you don't have to be my friend to join my group. I know what you mean about people banging on about FB all the time. I was really reluctant to join, but I'm glad I did it put me back in touch with old school friends. Also it's a great way of keeping tabs on people lol.
Some people are sad attention seeking divs who are constantly posting their every move or what they are thinking. I just use it for chat and messaging mainly. I opened an account and then 6 months later I checked it and I had about 150 friend requests from people from my past etc.
And tbh I hardly go on it now, I just went on it to start this group.
