I was surprised to hear that some folks visit NukeWorker more than they do Facebook, so I thought I'd throw this poll up for fun.

Reminder: You can find us on Facebook too.

I don't have facebook anymore and it wouldn't matter anyhow.  I frequent Nukeworker more regardless...  ;)

nukeworker is fun, and I've been on it longer.

facebook is for so many other parts of my life - kids, Scouting, sports, old friends, etc.

It's almost a draw..... and I'm not talking total time, just current use...

I really appreciate both!

I marked "other". I actually spend more time on "backyard chickens" and gardening sites then facebook or nukeworker. Figure I'll need something tangible for my retirement, the government and Wall Street are dead set to see I'm in the poorhouse with no money for food, utilities, or fuel. I'm hoping to upgrade from that refridgerator box under the overpass for retirement to a converted Cargo Container out in the boonies.

Darkmatters website is no more, nada, gonzo, 
http://darkmatter.nukeworker.net.istemp.com  this will get you there, but I can't update it anymore. Maybe nukeworker will host personal sites eventully

That was easy. Never been on Facebook. Don't plan to.

Family posts on Facebook, a mixed blessing. There is not a PolySci on Facebook so I spend more time here.  ;)

I don't think anything on the internet is ever lost or hidden.  I've included my thoughts (,like anyone cares,) and my opinions below.

Couldn't agree more.  Finding out your sweet little niece scored a perfect 10 on the Kama Sutra quiz is just plain icky!

I have tried to remind them that the posts are public and permanent but when you are 13 to 24 you "know it all" so the struggle continues.  :old:

Well, I must say that Facebook is so much more user-friendly.
You can take a phone pic, upload it and all your friends can see it within 60 seconds.
You can put out an invitation to a party and have people look at the guest list, decide if they are going, etc all in one click.
Its gonna be hard to beat Facebook brother.

While I can appreciate the overt "usefulness" of a mass network of "Friends", I find too many people in my generation RELY on facebook to maintain friendships and networking. Call me crazy, but I prefer a good old fashioned hand shake and meeting for a beer then updating my "status" ever ten minutes.  I tried the facebook thing for a while, and was swamped with people pestering me that, quite frankly, wanted nothing to do with (morons from high school,  people from training command that I never want to see again, etc)

Best thing I can think of about is the photo sharing capability. 

case in point, I was going to try out for a band, and the guy wanted my last name. I said "ok" and gave it to him. He said he spent 2 hours searching on facebook for me to see what I looked like (I dont have a facebook account). Would have been REAL simple to ask for a picture. Its leading towards some kind of "cyber stalking" which I find creepy. My story is VERY mild, but I know that it gets super creepy for some people.

I check in on Nukeworker daily, Facebook only when I want to get a rise out of the easily agitated.

Kind of apples and oranges. Most of the people in my "network" do not work or even care about the nuclear world we live in. This site is usefull for more specific reasons related to the work that we do, and to a lesser degree, keeping up with friends. Facebook helped me reconnect with dozens and dozens of old friends. In fact, most of my nuke family is on facebook as well as this site. Facebook is the one I frequent most for keeping in touch and sharing stuff.

Sorry... I check FB daily while on the road.  I Google"d" other and came up with "About 5,710,000,000 results (0.09 seconds)".  So I could not choose that one over FB. 8)

Sorry but FB has destroyed my SIL's laptop twice in the last six months.  Although, he is as dumb as a box of rocks and not very careful - after a month in the house using my computer, I had to wipe it clean, FB has more lead in's to problems than it is worth!

YMO!  ;D ;D ;D

Hate to ruffle the feathers... but Facebook allows me to keep in touch with over 100 of my previous co-workers at different outages & some of my DOE friends too. We keep each other apprised of where we're traveling, who we've run into & what jobs have gone well, who's completing what training classes, what companies are staffing, who's paying what, and who's heard what from our different recruiters/industry friends.

Its much easier & faster to just Facebook each other and get straight answers & help from each other. On here, its a crap shoot as to how many snarky replies you might get when you post a question. A few helpful replies, but mostly not. Surprisingly, Facebook seems to be a lot more polite networking option. Shocker.

Also, the outage lists on FB are free... but you're job listings are definitely worth the visit.
