I’ve been receiving invitations from friends to join Facebook for a long time and I have always ignored them. The reasons are many; I already have a personal website, I have this blog, I use Live Messenger (Skype, etc.) to contact my friends online and I send emails (not mass funny but spam emails, I rarely do that) and I use LinkedIn (although quite reluctant about it as well, at least I’ve seen it actually working). If someone needs to find me or catch up with me the ways to do it are many and simple (ex. Google me…). Furthermore, so far I have not come across any argument good enough to convince me and join.
In addition, today I read this viewpoint about the Facebook mania here in Sweden and I must admit that from one side the point raised is quite reasonable referring to the future and kind of being careful how one exposes themselves but from the other side it also applies to all the long terms and agreements we accept whenever we register somewhere online. However, it is the significant increase of interest around Facebook that makes the difference. Thus, for the time being, thank you very much but I think I’ll pass…

Well, thank you for your invitation but Facebook is indifferent to me, therefore, even acting against it would mean giving value to it, thus, I will choose kindly not to join

I like the Facebook concept and in general the type of services provided by it. But the past few months, the additional applications and games developed for it, makes me feel that facebook is losing its target group and personally is tiring me… But with Microsoft buying the 1,6 percent of Facebook makes me wonder…what’s next? “Windows with embedded facebook services?”
