It was a few DU friends who lured to the site years ago. I believe my sister was already there. At that time, there were a lot of games that kept bringing people back - those are all pretty much gone now.

Also we could look up and touch base with old friends and relatives. I found three cousins there and we all played Scrabble together. I found a handful of friends that I thought I'd never hear from again. My adult children moved over to Facebook from MySpace (I never tried MySpace).

Initially, it wasn't my cup of tea, but it became part of a comfortable routine and a great place to stay connected. Now it is like the Wild West, full of con artists and scammers. Though many of my friends still have accounts, very few of them go there anymore. Meanwhile, no one trusts it or Zuckerberg.

I agree, "Zuckerberg is a dick", plus he really seems incompetent.
