Got roped into getting into Face Book, found out I didn't want to read about folks sitting around the pool, clipping their nails, picking their noses and asking if I knew where such and such was. One week was enough for me, so I dumped it. Who wants to know if someone went for a walk this morning, or had their morning constitutional, without any problems. Ugh. Oh, BTW, I tried a new mustache wax today, it works great! (see what I mean?)

My wife has an account and that's good enough for me. She tells me what she thinks I should know besides telling me what I don't care to know. I have more important things to do in life besides knowing what Mrs. Jones is doing with Mr. Smith. This forum is bad enough.

Mine too. In fact I am often "featured" on facebook, I just do not have my own account. I do get to hear some of the comments.....

That reminds me of a fellow we camped beside one summer...His name was Gus..

Gus told me that he threw out his dictionary and his encyclopedias...I ask why, and he said that he just didn't need them any longer, cause his wife and daughter knew every damn thing...

Hi, I'm Jeff and I'm a Facebook junky Yeah, I admit it, I spend way more time on there than I should. I have reconnected with many childhood friends who I never would have found otherwise. Love it

Hi jeff, I'm Linda and I'm a FB addict, or so I've been told. I like FB to keep up with my "other kids" and see pics of their babies, chat with school friends, patients at our office, hunting friends and I've even started a FB page for my business which gained me 2 sales within 20 min of uploading pics and making my first post.

I check into FB twice a day, sometimes I stay on for a few minutes and sometimes I am on for hours.

i am Linda Rhodes Modisette on FB and my business is A Rustic Touch

How many of you guys and gals are on facebook? I have just started and it's fun...not as much as T&TTT, but fun...

I use my name, Steve Smoot, so come on over and join my friends list...Thanks...

Hey Steve, There are several of you on FB, I couldn't decide which one was you. What is your avatar pic of?

The same as this one..My wife looks much better, so I'm in the background...

My son is Stephen and he lives in Indiana, I go by Steve Smoot and I live in Boone NC

My Son built a Facebook page for me. I like it.
It allows me to keep track of some of my favorite students after retiring.
I can keep encouraging them in their endeavors.
I also get to talk with some of my colleagues whom I miss.

I'm on it and at first was on it all the time but then I realized there was so much more I would rather be doing outside or in the garage so now I use it to keep up with my family in Texas and in California, and friends from jigh schools (3 of them) and college. I just mainly check the updates to see whats new for about 29 mins and then hop over to here and read the posts.

I left FB (and LinkedIn) after their continual changing of their obfuscated privacy policy. Something you set to private, may become public when FB change their privacy policy. What you should know is that privacy on FB (and some other social networking services) is probably not what you think it is. Things you think are private can leak out by several different methods. The leakiest of which being 3rd party applications.

Most people will be horrified to learn that there are 'personal data aggregation' websites that gather information that can be found about you from social networking websites and the free email services, such as YahooMail, Hotmail and GoogleMail. Most of these services default to sharing your data.

One particularly invasive personal data aggregation service is SPOKEO (wiki entry). Spokeo make your leeched personal information available for free and charge for a full invasion of your privacy from the convenience of one website. All with no oversight or regulation.

These personal data aggregators link your online information together via one common piece of information. Typically that is your email address.

You can minimise your ability to be aggregated by using a unique email address to register for these services and by entering bogus or inaccurate mandatory personal information.

Finally, be aware that any information you put there may become public regardless of your efforts to make it private.

[Cliffmeister2000]

Yes, BigAl, and whatever hits the internet stays there forever. I have a facebook account, but don't use it much. Nothing on there I would be upset about becoming public.

[KoryLGriffin]

I do it all. I am a social media junkie... You can find me everywhere.

Cheers.


See you there...

I've been on Facebook for a few years, and use it everyday. Not necessarily for anything productive, but its nice to keep in touch with friends and family, and share photos. Its essentially an overdeveloped discussion forum that has evolved into so much more than just a bulletin board.

It can be a great social networking tool once you realize you can use your settings to IGNORE Farmville and all that other CRAP I've even clicked HIDE to prevent a lot of my "friends" crap from showing up in my news feed.

I got away from MySpace a while ago because it just got overwhelmed with immature junk. Unfortunately Facebook has been leaning that way in recent times as well.


But at least I can click IGNORE and HIDE



Sometimes I'd like to do that here

[oklahomajewel]

I'm there , back in touch with LOTS of old classmates and some distant relatives .... I agree, you just have to ignore the junk and "hide" all those postings from naughty folks etc.

look for me by searching Julie Grall ... pic is same as on here.
