Interesting thread...reading everyone's pros and cons! I "Facebook" daily. I was a slow starter, but as I went along, I got more into it. I keep things mostly private. I love all the interaction with friends and relatives, and connecting with old friends and high school classmates. Over the years I was a manager to many young women, and follow most of them on FB. I know everyone on my friend list...I don't accept requests from people I don't know. It's up to you to control your settings and privacy levels, how much you post, and what you like. It works for me!
