SAN FRANCISCO (AFP) – More than half of US adults use online social networking service Facebook, according to an upcoming study.
A report by Edison Research and Arbitron Inc. to be released on April 5 includes the finding that 51 percent of US residents age 12 or older have profiles set up at Facebook.

I used to play several of the role-playing games, and then one day I just went cold turkey and didn’t go back to FB for nearly a year. I’ve gone back recently, but I don’t miss the games. After all, I have Shockwave. :)
The telephone?
“The telephone? “
Don’t call me an IDIOT!! I certainly know what to do when it rings. My only problem if figuring out what else it does...but who cares, I have Facebook.
My name for Facebook.
It is just a vast repository for the Gubment to tap.
They’ve instructed school districts to use it for uncovering dissent and other matters based on student postings.
NO! My business is MY business!
Facebook is a great place for those who want to cheat on their spouse!
There ya go. ;-)
Where’s the ‘like’ button??? :D
Haven't there been stories of cheating spouses being discovered on Facebook?
“There ya go. ;-) “
Thanks, but I can almost promise you that the next time I come out against toll roads (or Social Security) my postings here will be used to discredit me.
I suspect there are a lot of people similar to me - set up a profile and tried it a bit. I didn’t find it compelling and after adding casual friends and acquaintances, didn’t like it at all. Too noisy, too trivial and too much trouble to delete my account.

I had someone ‘ask’ me to join and like you didn’t like it, (probably don’t really understand it - but IMNSHO it is just a waste of time).
About deleting, I had a ‘solicitation’ today, and clicked on where it says you can opt out, then opened my ‘account’ box and found another block that says you can ‘quit’.. I hit it and received a msg that in 10-14 days it would be gone. Also had another box saying you could leave it dormant but I opted for complete erasure.
Guess my junk mail will quadruple for awhile...I am cynical and (paranoid?) enough to believe when you opt out of these things they really SELL your name....oh well..

I use Facebook, but actually KNOW all my “friends”, and have very limited restrictions on visibility of content.
No.
Ditto, except I do use Linkedin in for work.
Besides too much personal information and being a conduit for “borrowing” access to your home computer, it can also provide links to your office computer.
I work for a national company and it advises us to use LinkedIn and Facebook.
I have multiple business websites, because customers expect it.
I am an officer of a non-profit organization, and we put our contact information there, too.
I have had genealogy information on the web for over ten years.
I own a house with numbers on the curb. All that is public, including who I make payments to.
I am fascinated about why people are worried about privacy, when there is so little to begin with.
Sure some bad guys might try to harm me, but they often get caught pretty quick. Somebody recently charged a few tanks of gas on our credit card number. The plastic cards never left our possession, bills were not paid online. We don’t know how it took place.
The oil company cleared it up quickly and completely. If they had not, we would not have paid, and would have cut up the cards; which were 1960s technology and business practice, I must add.
