I am on it now, but I have my account locked down as tight as I can get it. Nobody tags me without my approval first, nobody can see my friends, no birthdate, no email address, no phone number, etc. I don't post at all... maybe something once a year like an important photo. I "like" things occasionally, but even that is rare. I cringe when I see so many people over sharing, and "checking in" wherever they go. What are they thinking? I think many people are under the false impression that what they post is seen only by their friends. It's so much more complicated than that. I have a girlfriend who lives alone and checks in everywhere she goes.... airports, restaurants, everywhere. It shocks me that she doesn't realize the danger of doing that. I guess, having said all that, my main reason for being on it is to see the photos and info that I'm interested in. And since I don't reciprocate, I guess you'd call me a facebook lurker!

My brother has been a teacher for about 30 years. He's very strict about who he allows as "friends", but he still must have about 2000. Our father passed away a few months ago and too many people found out from his page. There were out-of-town friends my mother wanted to notify personally, but they found out before she had a chance. She was pretty upset. As for me, no, I'm not on FB. Too private, too lazy. I do feel I'm missing out on stuff, but I waste enough time online as it is.
