HEY! That is a great idea. I have just left all of that info blank, and used a fake email address to register my facebook account.
I have about five gmail accounts for various purposes. I created a new one for this.
The reason I tried to make my fake address look legit is because I want to get friend requests from complete strangers as I continue to post comments on news stories. I want to see where it goes.
So far, all my friend requests are from people who went to the same high school I chose. I picked a large one so it would be possible that we “never met” yet still went to the same school.
The key is that this account needs to look real, and not “obviously fake” like the first one I tried.
Also, I can use it to look at my “real” facebook account to verify my security settings.
Yeah, I have the fake email addresses down pretty good. And the email address I provide for professional purposes is not linked to any social media sites. Almost another fake email address.
I got tired of all these strange people spamming me with their friend requests so I signed up with this other site called Myspace. Waay more laid back! ;-)
