Wow Cath!

I'm on it, my grown up kids invited me, I now know exactly what they're up to!

It's a good way of keeping up with my nephews and niece whose parents are divorced.

I am on it, I hold the record for number of friends.



Lowest that is - I have 1 Friend. He is my grandson and he was in Iraq until recently. I could contact him through facebook, thats the only reason I joined. Had dozens of requests to accept "Joe Bloggs", "Jane Bloggs", old uncle tom, etc. as friends but I resist them all. I remain the record holder with just 1 friend.

I am on it, you can look for old friends which is what I have done, I have found friends on it who I havent seen for years . Its a very easy and quick way to pass on msgs.

I am on there, but my son has blocked me from seeing his pics as it means I know too much of what he is up to lol
I don't use it very often tbh but it is a good way of keeping track of friends and their lives.

I don't accept or send all the gifts etc as it means it opens you up to too much other stuff, which I can do without.

i joined it after being invited by several of my younger generation family.
I cant make out how it works though.i see lots of chat going on between my grandchildren and their friends and have had invites to join various causes but to be honest it flaws me how to get involved.i think i am just to old for the site.

Me and I'm 68. Belong to some ex army groups and keep making new friends. Even my g'sons (16 and 13) requested me as a 'friend'.

Dont use it every night tho as I try to limit (apart from some charity work) the amount of time I spend using PC to around 3 to 4 hours a night sometimes quite less
