Now that Facebook has IPO'd, I thought it might be a good time to check in on who is still using the site a lot.
Are you still active on Facebook? How much do you (and your friends/family) use it?

Yep, all the time. It's not nearly as interesting to use hour-by-hour, like Hellobee is, though.
I use it for setting up events with friends (camping trip, book club, etc.) and staying in touch with friends.

I use it all the time. It's the easiest way to keep in touch with friends and family back in the US. Especially since our son arrived, it's the best way to keep people up to date. I have an album called "Daily Linus" where I post a new pic of our son every day. I think my mom would die without it!

yup! very often. i keep my friends list very small though & use it to keep up with those i don't talk to everyday, but like to keep in touch with.

I deactivated last year, but reactivated last week. Don't use it though!

I still have an account, but found there to be too much ridiculousness for me! I haven't been on there in months.

I still have an account but I don't use it often.

I use it all the time. It's the best way to keep in touch with family/friends far and wide. I also get a lot of news from FB, too.

no, I hate facebook and all the annoying people I want to delete on it but can't (Sis in law, cousins, etc). I think I might just delete my whole account.

@mrbee: what is IPO'd?
I'm super active on Facebook. It's the way that my fam (all out of town) finds out about all my daily baby news! They love it.
I wish more people were active on facebook overnight. I check it at every night feeding.

@cvbee: Oops sorry, was referring to how they went public last week!

yep, I still actively check it and update it once in a while. I actually keep in touch with a group created by some family members over in Korea. My dad and his brothers and sisters recently did a big reunion so we've been sharing pics of our parents all together, and it's so cute. We used to maintain a webpage with these kinds of updates, but it was really difficult to manage and for people to access it. Since Facebook is big in Korea too, it's a great way to stay in touch with them.

I check it all the time on my phone. And I use the messaging function to keep in touch with extended family and friends who live far away. I don't post statuses or pictures very often though. We don't intend to ever do a FB announcement of the pregnancy. But I probably will post baby photos once he/she gets here since we don't get to see our family often.

@mrbee: The whole Facebook IPO is turning into such a disaster. I'm in banking and I'm sooooo glad the bank I work for wasn't one of the underwriters!!
GOLD / wonderful grape / 20289 posts
I am. I look on it daily to see what people are up to. I also use it to keep in touch with friends I don't get to see very much, and family. I don't usually update my status, but I do put lots of pictures of my LO on there. I worry that it gets annoying, but tons of people tell me how much they love seeing her pictures so I keep doing it.

@artbee: I put tons of pics of Wagon Jr. up too! I know all the baby-centric stuff can be annoying to some, but if they get annoyed they can just block my updates. Lots of our friends and family (especially extended family that we never get to see) really love the updates and constantly comment on the pictures.

I use it on a daily basis to see what everyone is up to, but don't post anything myself.
bananas / 9227 posts
All the time. It's the only way I can keep in touch with what's happening back home. (Although a lot of my close friends aren't on so much).

I use the app on my phone to see what family & friends are up to but I rarely post. The hubs is sort of anti-FB, so I don't add many pictures to it.

on it daily, use it to share photos- but don't usually post more than that. I also use it for some shopping- a lot of local boutiques will do 'flash sales' so it is a way to get good deals
@mrbee: @MamaMoose: Question that maybe you know the answer to on the investigations...how can there be insider trading if the buyers were required to hold on to the stock for 6 months? I am not very stock savvy so I am a bit confused

@Pipers Mommy: The concern is that Facebook mgmt told their underwriters information about how their financials were looking, but that information was passed along only to some investors and not others.

Yep I'm still on it, I don't post much but I enjoy reading other people's...sometimes. Haha I have caught myself blocking more people from my news feed lately. I blame it on pregnancy hormones, but I hate whe people use it to complain about life/their spouse, or those who seem to be over-compenstating for their marriage/relationship when it's known they are on the rocks!

I am active. I mostly post pictures and comment on my friend's status updates. I rarely post my own.
blogger / wonderful cherry / 21616 posts
I check it every day but don't spend as much time there as I do here.
A lot of friends do events on FB so I have to be active for that, we have a mommy health group that meets monthly and we do all the planning on FB in our private group page, and same with our church small group. So a lot happens I have to stay active for.

I read and occasionally post and do not upload pictures (even though iPhoto tries to force me to). If I get timelined I may quit altogether because I hate timeline. So mr bee- are you on FB?
admin / wonderful grape / 20724 posts
@Mrs. Jacks: Nope. Well I have an old account, but I just leave it there to accumulate invite requests otherwise I'd get invite emails.
I update Hellobee's Facebook though.
pineapple / 12526 posts
I am, mostly so my family can keep up with what's going on with us. I am friends with members of my family and DHs. Since we are stationed overseas, it's the best way for them to keep up with updates as well as for me to be able to get them pictures and videos of LO.
blogger / pomelo / 5361 posts
Yep, but I'm on it less now. I post pictures and funny happenings, and stalk everyone I love and a few I intensely dislike (I have no idea why--it's like morbid curiosity).
honeydew / 7504 posts
I check it a few times a day, but only update my status once or twice a week. More often than not, I'm linking to articles or putting up pictures.
