There was a time where I hardly checked my Facebook but now find myself on it everyday.
People I know don't necessarily read dc.com and/or some folks like to keep up with status updates instead and follow links that I post to the site. Its a great way for me to connect with others who I care about and support traffic to the site and/or keep others in the loop with what I'm doing.

I also find that its a great business/networking tool too as I have business proposals and speech requests come through FB. Recently contacted by a movie studio @.@ Will let you know how that goes ^^;

Do you Facebook? If so, how often do you check it?
Feel free to add me to your friends list > http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=531021788&ref=profile

Do you use any other social websites? if so which ones? I'm on Deviant too and will be updating more often > http://dannychoo.deviantart.com

Dude, I just thought of an awesome concept.  What if Danny had a spare suit of armor that he would get each fan of his to sign when he meets them.  That could turn into a massive bunch of names. O.o  Just a thought that would necessitate an additional suit of armor, and therefore isn't a practical idea to implement. ^^;

Heck, I feel all tingly for some reason to be reading/listening to you even ASK to meet Danny. Its a strange feeling, I swear. Maybe I'm living vicariously through you?

Go meet Zephi, Danny! It would be a pleasure for all of us to see a post on how you met some of your fans! (Can't possibly take too long anyways.)

I just got me a facebook account last month to keep in tabs with the anime club I go to.  Facebook is used as the primary source of setting up events, schedule changes, whatever. It's the go to if you will.  It is also effective in getting to know the other members better when not in club. 

However we are already FB friends Danny.  Michael McKeen be my username there.

I once had both a Facebook and a Myspace account, but I deleted my Myspace account not too long ago since I never found myself logging in any more. The only thing that peeves me about Facebook are the application invites my friends always send me. I end up blocking a lot of applications about turning into vampires, zombies etc. Other than that, it's my prime social networking site I go on. A lot of my friends check that site more than their cell phone/email lol

We're also friends on Facebook, too! ^^

I am with you Danny, I have always avoided Facebook thinking that it's only for 16 years old.  Then I downloaded the Facebook Apps and since then I have been checking my Facebook several times a day.  I highly recommend the free Facebook app on the iPhone / iPod touch.

Social networking or social data collection service??? You continually read stories of people being harrassed, losing a job offer being stalked ect ect ect  through their own fault in many cases. As what began as a university student networking application Facebook and others will be for many a pariah that will hang around their necks for the rest of their lives.

Anyway, yeah I have a Facebook which I mostly just use for apps, and while it's one way to get ahold of old friends it's also another way to use my friends to invite them to the apps I use and stuff. 

Yay!

Despite having a facebook account and even the app for my iphone, I don't actually spend that much time on it. It's usually only to read messages and assorted other things other people have left for me.

Guess that's why I'm not very active. I don't go out looking for people either, but I will accept those who ask.

I've had my facebook account a couple of years now and find that as time goes on I check my account more and more frequently.  It's always nice to get a friend request from peers that I have neither spoken to or seen in many years.  But, apparently, I am missing out on the business aspects of facebook.  I will have to look into that.

I didn't until recently. But a lot of friends at a TV forum have accounts there, so I decided to take the plunge. Also, it's part of my new mission to get out more on the Internets.

I check sporadically and post infrequently. Haven't messed with any apps yet.

Only made a Facebook when I got to college because when I met new people they would always ask if I had one. So first day of school right after classes I went back to my place and made one, lol. It really allows you to keep in touch with people, I check mine at least 4 times a day (events get sent to me randomly).
But I see you updating there a lot also Danny. I can't escape you!!

My account for Myspace is silent and empty lol. It would be the same with Facebook. My mates
would just lose the hype for updating it and keeping in touch with any other people. My brother
used to go on Facebook every other hour and now he barely touches it, which means my friends are

I got Facebook a year ago but I only use it as a forum of sorts. Namely the Fate/Stay Night Fans Unite group, Anime Figurines Network, and my school's anime club group. It's kind of funny because my more regular correspondants are Lightningsabre and other otakus rather than people I know IRL.

Well, that and someone from my calculus class request class notes from me on Facebook since I'm rarely on MSN.

I don't really use Facebook - have an account, but mainly I only logon when people contact me. E-mail alerts are nice that way. For me, it's more a tool that makes it easier contact me, rather than for me to contact something else.

And some people mentioned concern over stalkers: never had to deal with them, but if you're doing what I do it wouldn't matter. They can't stalk and get information when you don't put it up there in the first place.

Not really a fan of social sites like facebook/friendster, so I very rarely check them, but I think it's a great way to keep in contact with old friends. And hmm, considering that possible employers also look at facebook...

We're already networked/friends, you can see my not so great photos there, lol.

I don't use it often now, it gets so overwhelming with all the invitations friends send you for quizzes, fan pages etc etc. Will take a look at your page again to see what you get up to xD

Don't do facebook yet (nor do I see a need to yet) but I still do have a myspace account which I only visit occasionally.  Got bored of all the spam and crap that I only ever messaged real life friends and then just started a real blog instead of using myspace.

I check my Facebook many times a day.
Every time I launch my browser, it's automatic Facebook.com first.

It's seriously become a drug.

But Facebook is really good for social networking, keeping in touch with friends, sharing photos, finding old friends....

The only reason I have any account on these sites is because of boredom at the time of making them. I rarely used facebook until I got to University. It lets me keep in touch with old friends, college friends and my aniki (cheaper than phoning).

i heard on the bbc world service that some people think facebook are for narcissists and i agree, given the heavy emphasis on revealing one's personal day to day happenings and whatnot.
i have seen my fair share of users commenting on just about every minor incident they encountered. unlike blogs, it's uninformative and annoying. 
OR it could just be the extrovert in me talking... hmmm

I check it ever so often. Just when I have some spare time on my hands. I just see it as another way to keep up with my friends just like with email, calling and such.

I didn't know so many people thought badly of it. If you don't want people knowing what you're doing then just don't post about it on there, it's that simple. And if you don't want strangers reading it, then don't add them and set your profile so only friends can view it. :/

Im a little paranoid about using social websites, because of security issues, abuse of personal data for commercial purposes and etc, etc.

Prefer creating blogs and writing about random issues or personal thoughts or whatever you feel like writing  about. If one needs to be social, why not head over to your local cafe, arcade hall, bookstore, library or wherever people congregate to ? 

Personal info should be at the very least secured from commercial use and kept to a miminum anyways.

I check my Facebook several times a day and I find it better than MySpace. MySpace is cluttered with ads and Facebook is very tidy and quite clean. Finding something is still not 100% on FB, but MySpace was much worse. And FB has really come up here in Belgium and almost all my friends are one there. I'm still thinking MySpace will get seriously hurt by FB, and they're trying hard to keep up.

I don't go on FB much anymore.  I use Digsby, which fuses all my instant messaging programs, Myspace, Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn into 1 program.  Its only for Windows right now, but it will be coming out for Mac soon, so check that out when you get the chance.

Ever since I noticed you used Twitter to update Facebook status, I started doing the same and using Twitter a lot more ^^I  Its so much easier to chat and see how friends are doing with txt messages instead of having to log into all my accounts.

I totally thought about adding you Danny, but I'm a bit uneasy about friending public figures such as yourself, because you do get harassed quite enough I'm sure...  Not that I'd harass you, I'd probably never ever talk to you out of fear of bothering.  In summation, I'm e-shy.

I've really liked facebook over myspace because it's much cleaner looking.  I've moved away from home and it's a great way to keep in touch. Although I'm not sure how to feel about it being sort of like linked-in, where colleages might want to add you but you're not really "friends", but you want to remain professional with them and who knows what weird personal things they'll see on your page... Also I don't know how to feel about people from highschool who I was never friends with all of a sudden wanting to link with me on facebook...

it's a strange balance of privacy and exposure.......

To answer the question, I check it every day. Some of my friends seem to prefer communicating through FB instead of Emails.

Nope, i don't Facebook. I heard you have to prove to people you check their profiles on Facebook. I don't know if that's true though, i heard that from Howard Stern on a radio show where he bashed Facebook, MySpace & blogging.

I MySpace though. I recently merged my Street Art FlickR to my MySpace blog page. The same people who i had as a contact at my Street Art FlickR were also found on MySpace so i made an announcement and told everyone on FlickR i would be moving my photostream to my MySpace blog. 

The FlickR link under my screen name here is based on my Anime interest.

I don't use facebook. It can get to be a huge timesink and you can get those FB stalkers if you friend the wrong people. Some of my friends who have a few thousand friends have a hard time keeping up with who they know or who they really don't know when someone waves to them or says "hi" or asks about personal things around campus. It's kind of funny in a sad way.

I actually have to speak out a little- please at least credit Chun for her artwork in your deviantART. deviantART is for posting artwork you yourself have created...it's not really something like Photobucket where you can post whatever you like. It's a little frowned down upon, actually, to post art that you yourself didn't have a more intimate hand in. (Sketched it yourself, or inked it, or colored it...) Even if you may own the rights to it, it isn't right, really, that Chun isn't more prominently credited, but your name is on all the works.

I would like to see all the beautiful photos you have taken yourself, rather than the artwork you've commissioned from Chun, in your deviantART... a lot of people misunderstand what deviantART is about when they first join, so I hope you don't take any offense by what I'm saying. I'd like to see you have a good stay with deviantART and get feedback on your own work. Maybe you could even invite Chun to have her own account there as well!

Sorry, I meant to mention Azami-sensei, as well as Chun.

This is a long belated comment, but I'm also on Facebook. I wasn't all that heavy of a user at first but have recently become reacquainted with some long lost folks. So, I've been using it more and more.

Also, thanks for reciprocating the "friendship", Danny.
