I have an account. It is the only way I can find out how distance family members are doing. I am careful about what I post and I keep my info well hidden.

I have FB and a twitter account. I have FB to keep up with my granddaughter, and my cousins and their kids and my husband's niece, nephew and their kids. If I didn't have FB I wouldn't hear from them nearly as often. I don't use the twitter much at all though.

I don't do FB because my son passed away in 2009 and some of his paternal relatives were stealing pictures of my son so I decided to do away with FB and MySpace. Plus in my humble opinion it's just an accident waiting to happen. I still like my email/phone call/text way of communication. I too, spend lots of time on the Quilt forum, so I am where I need to be! :)!!

I have an account on FB. It is how I know what is happening with my kids, grandkids, neices and nephews since we are spread all over the country. It's an easy way to share pictures. I don't post much, but I check every couple of days to see what is happening.

I am on FB. I do it to see pics of the grandkids. I very rearely post anything though. I usually only look at it every week or so. I don't think these young kids know what privacy is the way they post everything they are doing and show pics of a lot of it.

My response to them would be "No... if that were true, my laundry would be done"

I use Facebook on my phone. I don't normally check it at the computer. I am curious as to what is the difference between FB having your name, and some of the businesses, email providers, banks, etc. I don't think anyone should do it if it makes them uncomfortable. I am not Facebook friends with my grown children - but we are in close contact by phone/email/visit. I do get to keep in touch with some far away people and this does not preclude email, phone, etc. Just an addition.

I have it to communicate with family, and college friends that are out of state, thats all, but you do have to be careful what you say and post on there

I love it, lots of family who live far away on there and it's a great way to keep up with a large family and friends in other states.
