Social Networking, Do You?

I use it to keep up with people, It took me a while to get the settings right. Once you hide all the Farmvile and Cityville people from your newsfeed, along with people that use it like a diary, it is much less annoying. I don't even carry a cell phone most of the time because I don't like for people to be able to call me when I'm out and I have never seen facebook as compromising my Privacy or Annonimity. Except when my wife posts every little detail of our lives, but that's her fault not Facebook's.

Nope. I rather enjoy the strange looks I get when I tell people I don't have a Facebook book

I generally call it MyFace. I tell everyone I don't understand that MyFace stuff.

I use it for keeping up with new/old friends.

And stalking exes.

Seriously though. As long as you don't "like" everything under the sun, keep all your sh*t to "private," and dont download any apps, you're good.

Social networking is getting crazy. I've seen rumors of a "Facebook score". Kind of a data gathering program that people can use to determine seating arrangements on planes and such. Wonder where they will draw the line. Sorry, but I won't take the mark of the beast.

What he said.

I only use Facebook. We will see how long it takes them to force me over to the new timeline format. But I have a feeling resistance is futile.

One good note is that I was able to re-connect with a sister that I hadn't talked to in over 35 years.
