    I have an account, I do get notification (via email), but I have stopped using it. Part of the reason is whatsapp (which is owned by facebook). Getting one to one message is far better for me then getting bombed with all crap on FB. Its mostly some missing person info, dog ran away or some other sort of crap I do not care. I have even removed its app from my mobile.

    Do you still use it ?

    Yes. I use facebook to share content that I find interesting. I also post a few status messages on current events that invite engagement from my friends. Usually these are related to politics or sports.

    Facebook ever since I signed up there, I had never ever given up my account for 7 years. I got more than 3,000 friends including my family. It is more interesting to maintain my Facebook account, great mementos are all in store for several years of memorable events in my life like my job, the whereabouts of my children, the activities of my grandchildren, my job related activities, my awards and accomplishment, and everything that is connected with my life especially the success I have attained. Facebook makes my life worth living. I get more benefits than those of frustrations and shortcomings.

    Yes I still use it. Facebook has a unique feature of updating status and getting updates from your friends which watsapp lacks. Also I can find my school or college time friends on Facebook which were not in touch for years

    Yes I am on facebook and still using it. But honestly I rarely go on the site. In past I was using it actively but now I am not much interested in it. Actually it has become boring for me. But still I go there in one or two week for checking updates of my friends and family. At least it is still good platform for checking out our loving's updates.

    Just I could imagine since 2009 I was using the Facebook. I got a lot friends from all walks of life, from all over the world. From the Facebook, I was able to know my family clan, my distant relatives. I was also able to find the whereabouts of my high school classmates. I was updated of their present jobs and family and from where they live. Facebook is a handy finders of friends, business associates, all nationals so to speak. Facebook has helped me great in communication, in business ventures, in education and in everything you name it.

    Facebook is a leading social media website these days and everyone is using it with zeal and zest. It helps us to stay connected with our loved ones. I have been using Facebook since last 7 years and stay connected with my old college friends and family members even when I am out of my country. Facebook is a user friendly and known to millions of users.

    I don't use FB as frequently as I used to- mainly because most of friends don't use it as often either. Newer social networks have emerged and with the emergence of whatsapp, skype, etc, I can stay in touch with all of my REAL friends.

    I use Facebook to participate in various communities that I am part of. As a member of several Facebook groups I contribute to each community and help others with their issues by giving solutions and suggestions.

    There was a time when I had become tired of looking at the same kind of posts and selfies on Facebook each time I logged in. But soon I realized that a social networking site is a place where you need to contribute more and not just browse or lurk just to see what others are doing.

    I use Facebook quite a bit. It is mostly for business purposes and for sending out information for my blogs. Facebook and other social media sites are wonderful for sharing and getting a fan base..and loyal readers of your blogs. You can also use it as an advertising tool for a fee.

    I have Facebook account and I used to sign in daily.But before I started using whats-app I used to spend more than one hour in face-book,now feels its boring. Whats-app consume very less data charge and very easy to use even for one who is not tech savvy.Much simpler interface and functionality,which makes users of smartphones of all age people will be able to use it much faster.

    I most definitely use Facebook and I guess it has been part of my everyday routine. When I wake up in the evening (I work during night shifts), the first thing I'd check would be my Facebook app and see if there is anything new happening. And since I work the the night shift, I don't get to see the news anymore. That's why I also rely on Facebook to get updated on what's latest.

    But then, too much Facebook is not good. You should be responsible enough to know when to stop, especially if it affects your daily productivity.

    I have an account in Facebook, but it has been months since I last used it. A few months back I had installed the app on my mobile, which I have now deleted, as I rarely use it. Whatsapp is a better option.

    Yes, I still use Facebook, it is very helpful to me and my family, we used to share photos and play. I talk every day with my family and friends and even share photos, videos and ads.

    Yes, I use Facebook. I actually like Facebook, and I understand why it plays an important part in our daily lives.

    When I am on PC, I always am logged in on Facebook. I think this happens without me being aware of it, or maybe because of my habit of using it a lot for various reasons.

    So yes, I use Facebook, and I think more than most people. I just find it useful.

    Compared to a couple of years ago? If so, then no. I have an account, but I don't use it whatsoever. I turned off email notifications so that I don't even know what happens on my page.

    I think that Facebook will be the next MySpace. No one uses MySpace anymore, and I'm from just observing friends and neighbors, no one uses it. It is dead for me, and it will be dead for everyone else in the next five years.

    Yes, I still use Facebook on a daily basis. It is where all my family is so I like to keep in close contact with them. I have made it so that I do not get everyone's posts or other things that I do not want on there. I have a few friends that I have it so I can see their posts as well as my family's posts. I guess I am just not into trying a bunch of different social medias when I can just use the one. I am not that organized that I can keep up with all the different ones out there and it seems like everyday there is a new one.

    I have been off Facebook for over a year now. I will say my life is much more productive since then. I think spending hours on end there isn't healthy
    at all. The way I see it if you are going to set in front of a computer all day long. You should at least get paid for it besides Facebook has way to much drama.

    I will admit at night, or should I say the wee hours of the morning while most are sleeping. I will get on just a minute just to check out my kids page they are all grown, but I still like to keep up with them that way.
