No chance :)

 

I don't "get" sites like Facebook and Twitter .... I would rather spend my time on forums, learning something useful, than adding "friends" to my profile, and bickering over some trivial matter (like millions of people on FB/Twitter do every day!). Life is too short! :)

 

Haha I think you have that backwards.

 

All I see on here is people bickering about something and facebook it is more of comedy of life and to keep your friends in the loop of your life.

I dont believe so, while social media has its place, it isn't (at least at the moment) a convenient place to have a discussion on various topics..

I agree 100%

 

Tom, this poll clearly shows that making plans for retirement are extremely premature!

Am already retired... I was looking for justification for a succession plan... :LMAO:

Twitter and facebook are chaotic by design, a forum is not.

Hello

I have never used Facebook or Twitter and I never will.

I do not understand why folks feel the need to throw ever bit of privacy away , I guess some people just need the attention.

You only throw away the privacy you put out there. It is a great way for families and friends to communicate easily and quickly.

These two statements sum it all for me!...

A big NO !! Shame%20On%20You.gif

 

Facebook or Twitter can NEVER replace the community feel that you get in a forum.

 

Staffan

No, because contrary to popular belief there are still millions of people out there that have no interest in handing even rudimentary personal details to a social networking website.

........ I can't stand stuff like facebook and twitter.

 

Al

My exact thoughts!

NO - Most people on here are not 14 year old girls

 

 

Ha Ha Ha Ha! :LMAO: Matthew, that is brilliant!
