Facebook

Yeah, but I would just get caught when I logged into Facebook and checked into their house.

I use mine for jokes anymore. It allows me to keep in touch with friends and family. But like it has been said, do not post anything you do not want others to know about. But that goes for just about any website. Once it is out there, there is no getting it back.

In my years online I've seen girls post pictures they are now ashamed of now they are older and have families. But there is no way to get them back.

And for god's sake log off Facebook if you're going to have a few drinks. That is the one mistake I have made. Saying stupid things while drunk and then regretting it the next day.

LOL!

For the babies and dogs, this goes for Facebook or any other photo sharing medium. Why post 500 pictures of your trip to Disney, including the blurry ones and ones with your thumb covering 1/2 the picture? I find that very frustrating as I spend a good deal of time making sure I am cherry picking the best pictures to share with the world rather than making the audience slog through to find the good ones.

Although, one friend's husband does this and if you scroll through them quickly (of their twin babies) it's like those old flip books where the pictures look animated. It's funny, but I still don't need to see all 500!

I have connected with many Backpacking folks on Facebook.

I'm always getting Facebook updates in my email. I delete them as fast as they come in, but it makes you wonder if some people stay up all night thinking of mundane things to say. I just don't understand the need to think out loud on Facebook.

I don't get Facebook updates over email. I told it to leave me alone.

I keep Facebook for interacting with family and co workers, and a few hikers. It's funny how Facebook is quickly becoming like walmart. It's really popular but suddenly not cool to shop there.

I had to start my blog because a few family members refuse to get on Facebook, so most of my writings are posted on my blog, with only a link on Facebook. knowing everyone can read my blog, keeps me from saying some things that might get me in trouble. With the illusion of privacy on Facebook it's easy to get carried away. I thin the herd regularly. And some people thin me from their herd. I tend to speak my mind.

Pics or it didn't happen

I had a Facebook account for about a week. Everyone talked about it, and it sounded like a handy asset. After a week I realized that there was nothing in it for me. All of my friends keep me updated on the important matters by email or actual phone calls(remember them?), and the far away kinda-acquaintances don't interest me.
Just my two cents.

Yeah, I wouldn't post them here, if I have them. But I give you credit for trying.
