Just to enter contests. Haven’t won anything yet.

I do. I use it to inform those around me (usually, people younger than me) on political issues and keep them abreast of the realities of the world.

FB is like any tool - if you use it poorly, and it will turn around and bite you. If you have some system mastery with it, then you can get a lot of mileage out of it.

I recently read that Michelle will NOT allow her daughters to use social media. True?

Hell. No. I use Twitter for micro-blogging but no way on Facebook. The only time I will open an account is when my daughters are old enough to use it and their mother and I approve it which will be a while from now.

Facebook is a significant security risk!

And, NO, you won’t notice.

So far the comments here are exactly what I would expect, unwittingly misinformed. Reminds me of a thread on Mac vs Windows...

FB is perfectly safe if your password isn’t 123 and your settings are correct, which really isn’t that hard to do. It’s no different then surfing the net, click on the wrong thing and badda-bing, your a bot on the internet for a HaX0r to use...

I use FB regularly, and mainly to keep up with all those who I now live 3..4..500 miles away from.

I definitely use Facebook. However, I get on Facebook about once a day where I get on Free Republic numerous times a day.

I use it. My relatives and friends are scattered across the country. It is the best way to keep up with everyone. I don’t post about everyday things. It is better than classmates.

I do! Two of my sisters live out of state and it’s a great way to keep up with them. I have also found several high school friends. I’m in a Bloodhound forum online and have friends from there on my Facebook friend list. Facebook is fine if you are smart about it regarding security and don’t become addicted to it.

I do. I have family all over the country, including one sister (and nieces) in England. I have some friends from way back that I’ve re-connected with on FB... it’s fun to catch up.

No. I don’t like those “social” networking things. I think they allow people to be snotty at will and exclusive; crowing about who’s who, what’s what, and who’s got what.

A friend’s DIL would post photos of her house and redecorating projects, post status of where they were going, what time they’d leave and be back home, then left one day, came back to find they’d been burglarized.

I use a pseudonym on Facebook at my work. I often need to look into the background of individuals suspected of wrongdoing. I can’t believe what people say about themselves. Not smart.

I have a MySpace page but I never use it anymore. I mainly set it up because my sister in another state was on there, along with some friends, but it wasn’t to my taste. No FB, though, I spend too much time online because of FR already :)

Facebook, LinkedIn, etc, are all tools, and just like any tool, you get out of it what you put into it. My work team uses Facebook to stay in touch and plan events as we are spread out all over the country.

I think this statistic is like current unemployment figures.....its a figment of someones imagination.

I’ve been on the INTERNET since 1994....and Facebook and Twitter and offshoots have no appeal for me.

Interesting comments, especially comments from people who never use FB but they still know it is the worst of the worse. Who would have thought? No one is better or worse based on their FB use. Goodness!
