Anti-FB

Am I the only one who hates Facebook and doesnt have an account? I am really getting irritated at how many things revolve around facebook nowadays! Like I LOVE pinterest and lurk there all day long but I cant have an account cause you need an FB account to login. Or like I see ads for free samples.... if you "like" something on FB, well its not fair! DAMN FB!

Ok rant over.

  • I've been over FB for quite awhile. I can't stand when one of my friends will be offended because they posted something on FB and that's how I'm supposed to know WTF is going in their lives! Seriously? How about you CALL me on the PHONE and we talk like we did before social networking and unlimited texting plans!

    I post pictures of my LO on FB monthly just to keep family who live far away happy.

    I have tried, I have gotten invites but the invite takes you to a page that asks for your FB or twitter login. You can try though, rickandcaitlin@yahoo.com

  • That's weird about Pinterest, I didn't use facebook, just my email.  But I signed up a while ago before it started getting popular, maybe they changed it?

    I don't mind facebook - we have family who live so far away, it's a really nice way for us to be able to share things that are going on with the LO, pictures, videos, etc.  People use it for different reasons, I can't stand when it's used like Twitter, where the status is updated every 5 min.  But then you just block those people and move on. 

  • I don't use my FB to login. I just use my e-mail address. I didn't realize that you needed FB just to pin on Pinterest.... Interesting...

    On that page it is giving you the option to login with facebook or twitter. You can type in your email and pinterest password on that page to login instead of clicking on those buttons. It tripped me up a little too the first time I saw it.

  • I didn't get a single phonecall on my birthday. Even my 60 year old aunt posted on my wall.  I hate that people slack on friendships because of FB.

  • I never had my FB linked to Pinterest, I signed up with my email and that's how I sign in every time, weird.
  • I ditched FB shortly after DS was born and haven't looked back.

    I did create a twitter for things like Pinterest.

    Just make a dummy account so you can use it for logins (even though it is irritating!)

  • I don't really use my regular FB anymore, ever since they did the time line thing I can't figure it out and it's annoying to look at. I go on there to post on my wall when I need to AW DS and I spend all of my free time chatting on the May Mom board which is secret so noone knows I'm on there and I like it that way. As for Pinterest, I signed up with my Twitter account on purpose (I don't use it I just have an account) and I turned the settings to off so it doesn't post everything I Pin. But this morning I scrolled down on my facebook boards and somehow Pinterset is one of the options. I have no idea how FB got a hold of my Pinterest account, it's sort of freaking me out.

    Kind of like how TB got a hold of everyone's FB!
