As someone who has a facebook but probably would rather not, I'd like to answer this.
All my facebook 'friends' are real life people and family. There is no way I could post the same shit on my facebook that I do online. Nor would I want to.
The internets/any forum is a random bar for me, there are a couple of people I know and lots I don't. The people are generally more interesting, I know less about them and therefore they bore me less. There are always new people and in no way to I feel as though I HAVE to answer their stupid questions or post happy birthday if I dont want to or join a group for someone's pets birthday... unlike facebook. Facebook is an uncomfortable family gathering with people also in attendance who I've known since I was 12, mixed with people I've just met. There are also lots of stupid games people play on facebook and they make all those updates. As if I care that someone just beat their score in solitude jewelry boom poker face. jeshus.
