I think that is why some like Facebook. If you don't want to answer, you just ignore it. Not a lot of good manner going on there.

I was on for a little while and then for some reason I started getting porn stuff and didn't need that, that's for sure and then I didn't like the idea of anyone knowing anything about me that I didn't know. I would rather call them on the phone or email them myself. Too much gets out to too many people and I don't trust that one little bit at all!!!!! So, as hard as it was, I got myself the heck out of Facebook and I am a happy camper once again. I have my friends on QB and QH and at 73 years old, what do I want to look up school friends for. I still have my best friend from highschool and we email back and forth and go out to lunch and buy fabric! I don't need Facebook. Edie

I use facebook ALL the time. To keep up with friends and family that are scattered across the states... world. Also to instantly share photos and set up activities. GREAT social network. Just remember, what you share, no matter how hard you try to limit access, is a little like putting your post on a billboard!! LOL

I don't know why they make these sites like FB and twitter so hard to use. Case in point - I was just looking for a FB page I saw yesterday. Name - Dutch Bulb lady. I typed that in to the FB search box, no results. Web results took me to their web page. On the website was a link to their FB page. Name of page? Dutch Bulb Lady. Now why could I not have gone there in the first place?
This happens a LOT when I am searching for someone on FB. And when I am looking for someone with a fairly common name, WHY can't I narrow it down by location?

I'm sorry, if you can't run a major website any better than that, get into some other line of work.

Like several others I use FB to see what family and friends are doing and to check out there latest photos, check it out about once a week. I spend most of my online time here on this message board.

For those who are learing about using FB, remember, we used to be 'afraid' to join message boards because they were supposed to have evil lurkers out there who could get info about us and our families, etc. Same about with ordering and banking online which so many of us do without fear. .

I use it to keep in touch with my granddaughter who is in college. She's always posting pictures of her and her friends.

If you "LIKE" something on FB it is there all of the time. I need lessons on how to get rid of some stuff.

One most amazing thing is that my #4 son was in SO CAL last week. He was able to post photos of himself and girlfriend whilst -THEY WERE RIDING THIER BIKES! They were in Solvang where it is Beautiful Country.

I am on Facebook and limit my contacts to people who are really friends. Not friends of friends and surely not to anyone. It is easy enough I think to set the controls. I don't accept invitations from casual acquaintances or from former work colleagues. Cuts down on clutter. It is such an easy way to share pictures with people who are interested. I never go on chat. Then again, I rarely do chat on here either. It all moves way too fast for me!! For me, Facebook doesn't take the place of the personal contact, just supplements and makes sharing pictures and general information much easier.

No Facebook here ! I email and call the kids and gkids, or go see em. I have not been much of a fan of social sites... too much information out there that can be used .. pass ..

I have one but rarely use it. The only reason I have it is my HS has a reunion page and this year is my classes 50th year. Really make me feel old.
