Facebook

Yes, I do! I recently reactivated my account, and now post there relatively often. 

I don�t have it and I�m afraid if I did, I�d waste even more of my time on the internet than I already do. Besides that I�m not interested in getting contacted by people from by past that I�m not currently socializing with. There are usually reasons why I don�t have contact with them anymore. I won�t rule out the possibility that I�d create an account sometime on the future if my situation change, but right now NO!!!.

Yes I have it.  I don't do much with it, but I have it.

I have it. I use it in relation to my teaching (might as well take advantage of the fact that all my students use Facebook).

I also maintain contact with some old friends on FB, too. Like UMUR, there's a bunch of people from my past that I'd prefer stay in the past; fortunately, only few of those have contacted me, and then I've just ignored them.

I rarely use images of myself as avatars (right now it's part of the Soylent Green movie poster), but I do go by my own name.

It's not like there are any people from the past who are out to get me or something like that (not that I know off). It's just that there are some people that I didn't like back then withi whom I see no reason to maintain any form of contact, and some people whom I was betrayed by and whom I don't feel like wasting any more time and energy on. I'm perhaps a bit strict in terms of this, but to me, what belongs in the past stays in the past. I'd much rather focus on the present and the future than waste my time on the past.

In terms of teaching, I've used FB to establish groups pertaining to student projects, courses, etc. where I can interact electronically with the students in a much more efficient way than via e-mails. At least, that's something the students appreciate a lot.

I also use FB as a way of communicating with fellow band- and music project members, whom I do not see frequently.

I do have an account for the Book of Faces, but I find it largely useless.

Well that's what the privacy settings and friend lists are there for. :D

While in no way ashamed of who I am and what I like, I'd rather not have current or potential employers associate me with Bondage Goat Zombie. The fake name helps with that, too. :)

Then you should add me! I spend a lot of time there, now that I am more often at home and have given up most forums. I am there with my real name too, which is also my reviewer name.
