And how discerning are your friends with who they "friend" on facebook?

Heh.. well, despite what soichiro might think ( ), I'm fairly darn careful about what I put on there in the first place - and the people that can see the most stuff are family and old, close friends. As for who they friend *shrugs* who cares? Those people can't see my page.

Sure, there are loopholes anywhere, but my system has worked very well. I don't have to stress about it at all - settings are set and good to go. The google check isn't something I do often (once or twice a year) and is more to cover non-FB stuff as well.

Okay, so I just Googled you forum name and found out that...

A.) You're a mobility scooter from hell...

B.) You moonlight as a professional wrestler...

I facebook, It is a easy way to post pics of current projects so customers can see daily progress. And keep an eye on the kids

Those are both great reasons to be on there. I know a number of people who use FB for their professional pursuits, and several parents who make it a condition that they be "friended" by their children so they have a better idea what's going on.

The only thing I'm concerned with as far as privacy settings is that I don't want to make it too easy for someone to rob me. So I keep my photos (of all my toys) private to only friends of friends.

And how discerning are your friends with who they "friend" on facebook?

Most seem to be selective. A couple, however, would friend anyone under the sun. Maybe I should change it to only friends, now that I think about it. I'm glad I thought about that!

Hey, and don't forget that you can also set it to "Only friends, except these people." That covers your drunken buddy Dave and your prude Aunt Mildred.

Thanks for the tip. I didn't know we could do that.

Yep. For example, I have people assigned to "list A" and "list B." Then, I can set sections to: "Can be viewed by Friends only, except List B and Drunk Dave."

Even though my secret identity of being a souped-up scooter-riding-professional wrestler has been outed, it pleases me to help others.

After a cursory search of the social media I think you people are about as social as I get, I am heartened to be faceless on Facebook.

I was faceless for as long as I could hold out, but then one of the five people on this planet (not related to me) who I would do anything for, no matter what it was they asked, sent me a facebook invitation. I had no choice.

my opinion is that social networking has made us anything but social. i get more txt msgs than i do phone calls, cant remember the last time i got a birthday card or even a phone call, always just a txt. i try to sit and write a letter to people, not all the time but every once in awhile. a letter says hey i'm busy in life but not so busy that i cant sit and put pen to paper and write to you because your that special to me

Accolay · « **Reply #39 on:** July 20, 2010, 11:11:03 AM »

People bug me all the time to get a Facebook account. I wont sign up though. They can sell any personal data you provide to the site for signing up, or anything you write in posts. It's the *new* privacy. I don't have a myspace, or twitter account either.

Besides, I spend enough time on this site

the last time i wrote a letter was because i was in jail and phone calls cost 50cents a min

Last year's model.

But, basically, MySpace catered mainly to teens and younger. FB started as college only (had to have a .edu addess to get on) and then opened up. Now, there are many different demographics, but it tends to attract more adults.

Basically similar - but consider a bars that cater to college kids, and bars that cater to happy-hour business folk. Technically the same, but very different atmosphere.

I used to check into Facebook a couple times a day....now I check into this forum constantly.

From what I have seen, I would rather use this forum than facebook.
at least so far.

I agree, but FB made a college (Harvard) drop-out stupidly rich.

It seems that not everyone who uses FaceBook has gotten to know where to type personal messages.
