I'm kind of surprised (and pleased) by the number of members who aren't Facebook users. No wonder I like 993s, I'm just like you guys! But in my non-car peer group, I'm the lone outlier as someone who doesn't use FB. I do wonder, however, how much of it is age related vs. just a dislike for facebook. It appears there is some age bias at play.

You are probably right Rudy.
.... for example, I don't use Facebook and I am not a 14 year old girl.

We should take a poll:
- I am a 14 yr old girl and OMG I love Facebook
- I am not a 14 yr old girl and I also like Facebook
- Facebook sucks

But in all seriousness, a lot of the facebook users are in their 20s and early 30s and I'm pretty sure our demographic skews higher (and more male admittedly). But in our household, my wife (27) is an avid FB user and I (34) have never and will never join. There is a big difference for those who were in/around college when Facebook got big vs. those who grew up before cell phones.

I'm a few generations removed from college, but I check Facebook every morning. It's a great way to keep up with friends around the world. It helps to restrict your friends list to people you really know and want to hear from and about.

Seems this is a hot topic... check the comments at the bottom of this article. Many of the same comments on FB - but these folks don't have RL

I spend too much time here and at the BMW Motorcycle Owners Forum to be able to spend more time on another site.

I have this place and the Forum blocked at work (I'm self employed).

But I haven't blocked AdvRider....

I am not a FB user but my German Shepherd has an account. I set it up since that is the only way my niece will communicate with anyone.

I do use Google+ to feed my other hobby (photography).

I check RL daily now. Great site and even better community.

...Google +... (photography)...Mister C
I'm still pissed off that Google took the Picnik image editing app, away from SmugMug. It was the first image editor that was easy enough for me to use.
