The only reason I'm on facebook is to keep up with my children. They are all on it and share photos and such. It is a good way for me to see my grandchildren.

I have a FB account just to keep up with my family and pictures from them. If you type https:\\facebook.com it becomes a security site. You have to have the(s) after http. I don't usually post anything either. I think it is stupid to let others know stupid stuff like that. I do post comments with the Quilting sites, tho! But that is about all I do on there and I have only just friends to be able to see what I type! I block all the games stuff that people trys to get me to do! I also chat once in a while with alot of my ole school classmates! Haven't seen them for years!

I'm on Facebook, and I definitely use the security settings. I don't have any personal info on there besides my name. And I use the setting that blocks farmville and all that stuff from my wall. Anyone who utilizes the security features should not have problems such as identity theft, stalking, etc... I just always remember that whatever I write, I'm writing for the whole world to see.

I love seeing folk's photos, and hearing what they are up to. If someone writes too much offensive or boring stuff, I just hide them so I don't have to read it. I also hide farmville, and all the other games. I have played some of the games myself, and it's probably worth it to be on there for that reason alone.

I have one mainly to keep up with pictures of family, friends etc who are out of town. I don't post very often myself but it gives me the opportunity to keep up with high school friends & I've been able to 'find' friends I had lost contact with.

My MIL is very active on FB and she would not understand that I have no interest to "friend" her. So I simply stay off. No problem coz I spend way too much here already.

I was required to have a facebook page by 2 of my professors when I was in school. I got a virus on my computer that the Geek Squad said definetly came from Facebook. It cost me $387 to get my compute fixed so I don't use it unless I am at school on their computers.

I have an account only because my kids and granddaughter thought that I should come into the modern world. I post a comment once in a blue moon. I use it mainly as a contact for friends and people that wanted me to contact them from High School that contacted my kids and told them to get me on the web. (If I had wanted to contact them I would have made the effort years ago) I really would rather be spending my time quilting than letting the world know what I am up to every minute. I think people need to be very careful that what they post on FaceBook won't be hurtful to someone else. Some times my kids will comment on something one of their siblings posted. I think you get this false sense of intimacy or security when you are posting to someone else, forgetting that all the world can read it. It is not like having a private conversation, and I have a tendency to put my foot in my mouth. I see it only as trouble looking for a place to happen on too many levels. Ann in TN

I have a Facebook page, but I don't really get on it much. If I get a notice that someone has said something I might look and I used to get on to see what Accuquilt had as a question on Fridays to try & win an Accuquilt Go Baby, but I got tired of trying and decided to just buy the Accuquilt Go....ha. Honestly, I don't get Facebook. People write a couple of sentences about anything. I had a cousin actually post "I fixed pork chops for supper tonight". I guess I'm hooked on this quilting board instead!

I don't do Facebook, if I want to "chat" with someone, I'll do it privately.
