No FB for us. DH is in law enforcement and it has been a detriment to some others with whom he has worked or known. DD does FB and sends me anything info she thinks I need to know that I would not get from email, text or phone. She says she "wastes" more time on FB than anything else and I believe her.

I use FB to chat with my grandkids that live nearly 500 miles away I share no personal info and have it set on private.

I have a FB page, but rarely post anything there. I thought it would be a good way to keep in touch with my sisters (4 sisters in three different states), but we are far more likely to get together on Pogo and then Skype each other. Much more fun and we can actually talk to one another. One of these days I'll probably delete my FB account, but for now it sits there virtually unused.

I love being on a quilt forum with many people who like some of the same things, but in Facebook you try to chat with so many people who pretty much ignore what you say unless they are interested. and most times they are not. i will stick to forums or emails myself thanks so very much.

Love facebook! Such a great way to keep in touch with family, friends and co-workers! You only share what you want and you can control who you share it with!

Facebook is a place to keep in touch with friends and family, unwanted weirdos and the occasional nasty computer virus.

We don't use that site or twitter either. If our family or friends want to reach us....they know our phone number.

I use FB to keep in touch with business friends, personal friends and some people that I rarely see. It's a good way to share information and I keep my personal information private.

Works for me.

My DH uses FB quite a bit - he has a gourmet food truck blog which he links with FB and he has an old boys rock 'n roll band and has a FB page to let his friends know when they are playing at one of the local dives.

I was not much of a FB user, only looked at it now and again to see the kids pictures and keep up with former co workers following the closing of a company, BUT, recently I have been using it to follow the Oscars. My DH and I won tickets in an international lottery to be seated on the Red Carpet bleachers for the attendee's arrival to the Oscar's telecast and we have been getting all our info and instructions (many many rules!) for the event.

But, one thing I am very careful about is the ramifications of what one writes, adds, or comments on on FB. It will never go away. I am job hunting and have been quite surprised to have been asked by potential employers to "friend" them so they can see my FB page, same with Twitter.

I use FB but I keep my security tight. When I set up my account, I did not add my phone #, address, home town, don't identify my family members my religous beliefs and am very selective who views my pages. I post very little about myself. I love keeping up with my teenage grandchildren, family members and close friends. Oh, and if you are smart, don't click on ads.

only to talk to family and friends
