Iacon isn't a way to speak to new people or network across large areas, its no different from using a phone or something. It doesn't require constant update or add friends, so even DA or whatever is more "facebook-y" than us. I'm a sad, hairy recluse, so I naturally say fuck facebook. If a book had my face on the front it would just make the reader shit themselves.... |

Load of bull, tbh. If I told you that water was dangerous, everyone would laugh at me, but if my name was Dr. Billy Hyatt, Aqau scientist at London Oxford university, everyone would take notice. Just because I had Dr before my name. |

I don't think its dangerous, I just fail to see the point in these people who cry if someone doesn't click "Add as Friend" or whatever (E.g. JeffJeff). |

It's even funnier when you fall out with somebody, and they deliver the killing blow: "I'm removing you from my Facebook friends list!" |

Well. Yeah, Billy. That's the idea. If you can prove you've spent years studying a certain field, it demonstrates an understanding, so people are going to trust your judgement, because they know you know what you're talking about. And, I actually think this is pretty accurate. The only reason you're calling it bullshit is because you are a perfect example of what he's talking about. I don't think you get any form of social interaction aside from going to school. And it shows, Billy. It shows. |

Not like Con, sitting in front of a computer screen whilst simultaneously watching and researching the adventures of his metamorphosising, plasticized army's latest recruits; whiling away the hours until Botcon 2009 and Transformers 2 come up on his digitised Windows calender..... Too be fair, several so-called scientists, in truth discredited and vengeful researchers, purposefully tried to discredit Climate Change on prime time Channel 4, and they convinced thousands. Don't know anything about this guy, but its not unheard of to get dodgy science from people with chips on their shoulders. |

The guy seems to think people never go out because of facebook. Most people just use it to arrange to go out anyway... |

Internet is good at communicating, not communication, if you get me. It can get messages across well, but it can't support human relations on a complete level as some people (JeffJeff) believe it can. |
