No time for it..
There was a time when I thought that I was the only one who felt that way. This has been quite a long thread to catch up on, even just giving each page a cursory glance, but it was worth it just to see that so many others can't see the point of it either.
What is so annoying about social network sites is that they are accessed by smart phones, and it's those users that walk along with the face in the phone's screen that multiplies the annoyance.

I made up an account though rarely use it. I have 23 'Friends' and know all of them personally or have had some kind of dealing with them.
I do think it is one of the downsides of the modern tech though and once offered a teenager £20 not to use her mobile phone on Christmas day and in particular 'Facebook', refused! Well, her friends might be insulted if she did not reply within at least a minute of a text arriving.
Just think, what would we do without it? Probably get on with our lives thats what, just like we had to for years before Faceache :D

This could be embarrassing from someone who doesn't do Facebook. If you follow either the Aloha shirts or Hawaiian shirts & Fedora threads, you can't have missed my wife's handiwork with some of the beautiful shirts that she has made for me. She has been busy making them for others, and recently, she was asked to make a uniform shirt for a band.
She thought about it and chose a musical themed black & white material with a solid black backing. It didn't take long to appear on the band's Facebook page. here it is. I'm told that you don't have to be a Facebook member to see it, but if, like me, you are just not into social media, you can see her results here in The Hawaiian Shirts - Aloha Shirts thread.
