I have a LinkedIn profile, but don’t use it for anything. No facebook, twitter, myspace, etc profiles.

I don’t. I heard some things about stuff in there being used against you and it scared me away. So many reasonable people seem to be on it, maybe there’s not a problem. I don’t know, isn’t there something else that’s come along that’s sort of taking it’s place?

I do; quite a few family events are planned on there, and it makes a handy group environment for things like that.

That and Bejeweled Blitz.. Why do I subject myself to it? Why?

You’ve got to be kidding. Of course, I do NOT use FB or similar. The world doesn’t need to know my emotional status or what I had for breakfast, nor do I care what anyone else had for breakfast or that they are crossing a street or what they put in their mocha lattee.

Nope. Don't use it.

I don't think so highly of myself that I expect the general public would be interested in my minute-by-minute moods, thoughts and/or bodily functions.

Have? Yes. Use? That’s a different question entirely.

I do. I have very little information about me on it, and what i do is fake - BDay for instance.

It is very nice for keeping track of far-flung family and friends, and i access it a couple of times a week.

Like so many other things, it’s how you use it that determines its value or lack thereof.

I finally broke down and created a Facebook page - I wanted some bottled water coupons and many companies put their coupons solely on Facebook now. Drat

I signed up with a fake name - used a unused e-mail address.

It took forever to go through their security/profile adjustments to scrub the page clean of information on even this bogus page - and even then they are probably compiling info on my alias.

I do but only with friends and family. I am very cautious what I post there.

I have a FB profile. I move frequently with my job and I’ve found FB is a good way for my friends and family to keep in touch. I update it with new photos a few times a year and post something on my wall about once a month. I don’t play any of those Farmville or Mafia games.

So many Luddite Neanderthals here on FR. ;)

It’s bad enough you can’t hear someone talk (where that’s still done) w/o saying “like” every other word, but now you have to Like everyone...

I used to use FB but now nada. I find the site a bit confusing with all sorts of nonsense thrown in. Mostly annoying really!

I use facebook. I enjoy it but it can be a big time waster. For the most part, people can’t “hide” like they do on FR behind fake names. Some people don’t post their pics but most do.
