I've asked several to explain to me why I would want to join. Usually I just get a list of the cool features Facebook offers rather than how it might better my life. That's not to say I can't see some appeal. I have no problem with the existence of Facebook. I'm not anti-Facebook. Other people can do it and I in no way look down on them. I just don't think it's something I'm interested in. Even without Facebook, I'm connected to the people I want to be connected with any meaningful way. And there's enough drama in my real life relationships that I don't need to deal with the added drama that could exist in cyber-relationships. And to not accept or unfriend someone on Facebook that you might see every day at work or church (or wherever)...that seems to me like it's asking for trouble in the real world. I'd just rather not have an account and not even worry about committing a social networking faux pas that could spill over into my face-to-face interactions.
