I have no interest in what friends and relatives are doing at any time of the day. Hell, most of my relatives I rarely see and I like it that way. Nor do I give a crap about old classmates.  Sheesh, we survived long before Facebook or any of the other sites.  The number of people I know who are addicted to this is hilarious. And not just young people -- I might expect it from them, but people of all ages and walks of life. Go figure. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[David S.]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 17th 2010 3:36PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Scary 'Stalker Apps' Silenced by Facebook Due to Security Concerns]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2010/03/17/scary-stalker-apps-silenced-by-facebook-due-to-security-concer/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2010/03/17/scary-stalker-apps-silenced-by-facebook-due-to-security-concer/</guid><description><![CDATA[Spoken like someone with no friends!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Chargergrl]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 17th 2010 4:16PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Scary 'Stalker Apps' Silenced by Facebook Due to Security Concerns]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2010/03/17/scary-stalker-apps-silenced-by-facebook-due-to-security-concer/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2010/03/17/scary-stalker-apps-silenced-by-facebook-due-to-security-concer/</guid><description><![CDATA[At first I really didn't like Facebook as time went on I despised it.  Everyone was requesting to be a friend...whether they were from Elementary School or High School or recently.  What bothers me the most about that is if I didn't like you back then I sure as hell don't like you now.  I ignore most of them but the same people keep on requesting me as a friend.  The status thing also gets me annoyed..people keep putting what they are doing..sometimes they put verses to songs...What the hell, if you must put all of your business out there make it short and sweet..no paragraphs or short stories. People actually get into fights on this thing to..is nothing personal anymore? I definitely don't think that should ever happen.  I don't care what you and your man/lady are fighting about.  If you want my advice call me (text me if you must..not a big fan of that either. I cant remember the last time someone called me before they text me)..don't leave a comment on my wall.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[danahodle]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 17th 2010 4:41PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Scary 'Stalker Apps' Silenced by Facebook Due to Security Concerns]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2010/03/17/scary-stalker-apps-silenced-by-facebook-due-to-security-concer/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2010/03/17/scary-stalker-apps-silenced-by-facebook-due-to-security-concer/</guid><description><![CDATA[You're hard lol!!!

I also like seeing what all my old pals are doing, regardless of how much time has passed since I last spoke to them.  I'm pleased to see the majority of us turned out pretty well!  I don't get the disdain from people who seem to be self-centered loonies...whatever floats your boats!  That being said, I have been reluctant for quite some time to use any of the FB applications, only because a friend told me quite a bit ago that one gave her a virus.  I'll only use farmville if they let me grow weed on it, trade it for crack on mafia wars, then smoke that down with my pals on yoville.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[kiki]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 17th 2010 4:49PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Scary 'Stalker Apps' Silenced by Facebook Due to Security Concerns]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2010/03/17/scary-stalker-apps-silenced-by-facebook-due-to-security-concer/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2010/03/17/scary-stalker-apps-silenced-by-facebook-due-to-security-concer/</guid><description><![CDATA[I use Facebook to keep up with my children and my grandchild, since I live over 200 miles away from them and only see them 4-6 times a year.  I don't hit on any of the links that appear.

I was on myspace for quite a while and I had a lot of friends (almost 300) who were legitimately friends, relatives, co-workers.  But after a while I saw the BS that went on there and I got out.  People trying to appear popular by collecting "friends".  I started a facebook account, mostly just to look up old friends that I hadn't been able to find on myspace, and that's a joke too.  I found the people I was looking for, got their phone numbers, and ditched facebook.  It's just such a big farce.  The time I used to spend on myspace I now spend doing REAL things, like having lunch with a friend, or picking up the phone and hearing their voice.  I have no desire to looks at hundreds of pictures of people (mostly redundant) or to bore them with mine.  I really think a lot of these people need to stop, smell the roses & get a life.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[pinkkitty626]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 17th 2010 5:45PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Scary 'Stalker Apps' Silenced by Facebook Due to Security Concerns]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2010/03/17/scary-stalker-apps-silenced-by-facebook-due-to-security-concer/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2010/03/17/scary-stalker-apps-silenced-by-facebook-due-to-security-concer/</guid><description><![CDATA[Talking to people face to face or on the phone voice to voice is communication.  When you use those sites you are leaving yourself open to the public.  Unfortunately, most young people are "untouchable"  until they are damaged in some way.  I use them because I live in the boonies and the time differences make it simpler for the grandchildren to keep me up to date on their progress, I still like the "real" communications on weekends.  To those who think that those who don't use computers are friendless, they have more real close friends than you because they actually can touch people.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[E.

Don't do the apps at all and you can pretty much tell what's a virus and what is not. Kids are usually the downloaders of such nonsense. They are time consuming and useless. <br>I love the fact that people I would never get to see or here from are there and I can be in touch if I'd like. It's not so much there updates! Not that it happens every day, but it's nice to know there out there--Especially those that live far away! Keep it up, it's a great product and it shows by how many people across the world use it!  I'm sure some peole didn't like the car when it was invented...or electricity or the cell phone. If it wasn't a usefull tool, it would not exist!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Julie]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 17th 2010 6:10PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Scary 'Stalker Apps' Silenced by Facebook Due to Security Concerns]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2010/03/17/scary-stalker-apps-silenced-by-facebook-due-to-security-concer/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2010/03/17/scary-stalker-apps-silenced-by-facebook-due-to-security-concer/</guid><description><![CDATA[I LOVE Facebook.

I write everything from opinions to self help snippets. I might hope to reach a disgruntled soul that is unhappy and be able to change that. I can tell by reading all this there is a lot of unhappy campers in the world of inter-net communication. FB is a wonderful venue to voice an opinion, tell a story, say hi to a long lost or new friend. I thought that is what FB is for. I even post some pictures for people to entertain themselves. We can all be writers on FB, what's the harm? Turn it off if you really have a problem with other peoples life story's. I never use it to be mean or post on another's wall, just my own. Please block me if you don't want to read what I have to say, don't hate me.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Jaqq]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 17th 2010 8:45PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Scary 'Stalker Apps' Silenced by Facebook Due to Security Concerns]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2010/03/17/scary-stalker-apps-silenced-by-facebook-due-to-security-concer/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2010/03/17/scary-stalker-apps-silenced-by-facebook-due-to-security-concer/</guid><description><![CDATA[I am hearing impaired so it gives me communication with people that now <br>have cell phones and no longer use or have there landline.

But, there are a few that I think are <br>want to get in with me to connect with some of my friends.
