I use Facebook and it's a nice way to keep track of family and friends that live far away but you do need to check your privacy settings and learn now to block the games (Farmville, etc.) I have family members who post things that make me cringe, especially when I think about friends and other family reading them but there is also an easy tool to delete such postings from your page. Great fun but handle with care. You won't like it as much as this forum though.
