<p>oh, no doubt that facebook has it's practical purpose but a majority of people on there didn't get enough hugs as kids.</p>
<p>A majority don't get enough hugs period.</p>
<p>lol....</p>
<p>people don't spend hours on facebook.</p>
<p>I mean, I only check it when I have exhausted other options for putting off homework, and there's nothing left to do except facebook or hw...</p>
<p>I just logged onto facebook and they're starting a Facebook for High School Students! It is going to be a separate site from the College Facebook (as in HS students can't access college profiles and vice versa). But for a HS student to use the new site, they must be invited by a college student already on facebook:</p>

<p>that is messed up still. facebook should be restricted to college students. it's like a rite of passage sorta. high schoolers should just stick to their myspaces.</p>
<p>Yea, this stupid kid that graduated from my school just invited me. I'm not taking the bait.</p>
<p>Yea I don't think HS kids should have facebook. It's only fun because you couldn't access it for so long.</p>
<p>more users = more money generated from advertisements. </p>
<p>facebook used to be elite. only top colleges were on there. but the creators of facebook are great businessmen, and they will expand as much as possible as they have already generated millions of dollars of revenue (or so i've read). </p>
<p>but yea, there's going to be a facebook for high school students according to the college facebook site.</p>
<p>The Facebook is great for organizing campus events and getting in contact with club leaders, like-minded people, and classmates.</p>
<p>And, it also has its fun side-- nothing wrong with that. ;) I just do not see why it is needed for HS students (other than to make the site more profitable as kfc-- who goes to such a sexy school-- said).</p>
<p>Alrighty...speaking as one of the many people who "didn't get hugged enough as kids" or who is "pathetically insecure" (which is ironic considering I am a Speech Communications major)...Facebook.com is not bad. It's a great way to keep in touch with people you graduated with who may be scattered around the country. It's also a great way to find some familiar faces, especially at the beginning of your first year of college. And, you can connect to people through classes, which means plenty of help when you have the French teacher who thinks you can speak fluent french after only a year. Yeah. Anyway, I don't really know why some of you have such chips on your shoulder about facebook, but by all means, you're entitled to whatever opinion you want! I just wanted to point out that it's not all that bad. And that we aren't pathetic, nor unhugged, just perhaps bored out of our minds at times...but hey...who isn't?</p>
<p>~Me~</p>
<p>
my thoughts exactly filmxoxo17...the reason why people love it so much is because its restricted (mostly) and therefore is not as annoying and creepy as myspace is sometimes(no 13 year olds flashing their "goodies" for 36 year old men to see). i guess in a way it's more elite, because only college kids can use it.
Well not only that, but it restricts code thus keeping it simple and clean.</p>
<p>Unlike myspace where you get white text on yellow background, cruddy background music with cruddy music videos.</p>

<p>You must not know how to work it:/<br>
Well I was looking forward to facebook then it got banned. I'm still on myspace and I do use it just to see what the people I went to school with are up to, most of them community college or working full time. It's nice being reunited at least electronically with old friends.</p>
<p>It got banned? What? </p>
<p>Facebook is one of the best timewasters ever. and if you go to a slacker school like Stanford... people really need ways to waste time.</p>
<p>military school, it figures. They don't want freshman talking to or having an upperclass as a "friend". Fraternizing is a big conduct offense.</p>
<p>Speaking of Stanford we're about to leave for a football game against them in a few hours .</p>
<p>The facebook people are geniuses. They're going to open to highschoolers but you have to contact with a college student.</p>
<p>Its like the livejournal craze. And the gmail craze. And the Eric Cartman's amusement park craze. LoLzzerz.</p>

I'm not talking about myself. I'm talking about the users. I'll never sign up for myspace.</p>
<p>I come across countless text on backgrounds that's just a pain on the eyes, and a bunch of testimonials about "YOU'VE BEEN HIT BY LOVE TRAIN THAT MEANS YOU'RE SEXY PASS THIS ON TO 16 OTHER PEOPLE." It's unfathomable how some people can spend so much time on there.</p>
