Facebook is a fabulous way to connect with friends and family. Of course, Facebook is also a spectacular way to embarrass yourself. And it happens almost every day.
Users post personal photos and intimate status updates that they think only a few friends will see. Then the posts get broadcast to friends of friends or - worse - everyone.

I finally signed up & find there’s some use to it. Why not use the enemy’s site against them. We an organize there, put out links that our friends will see, & just generally put up stuff that others may or may not like. I post lots of articles from FR. Other friends ‘like’ them, & then their friends see them. Friends who may or may not ever see such information. You don’t have to put down everything about yourself. But you never know what post may have an impact on another. You want to reach kids? They’re on Facebook. Give it a try!

I have often wondered how people who use FB and Twitter ever figured out that everyone is so very interested in every little thought that pops into their head. The narcissism amazes me.
It amazes me the number of FReepers that only have idiot friends and seem to be proud of it.
There is also a new feature on Facebook. It is call DPPS.
It stands for Don’t Post Personal $hit on Facebook and it won’t be “out there”.
Also, Facebook has stopped having people break into Facebook user’s homes and posting stupid personal crap.
If one has a third of a brain they could eventually be informed on what Facebook really is for.
Thanks Nit, I had seen this and think I’m pretty private. I don’t even put information in private letters to my kids on Facebook, and I don’t accept any ‘apps’.
komando jumped the shark long ago. she accepts “evaluation products” and recomends them. He show has become an idiot computer user show for people who don’t know how to operate a light switch.
