I have a FB account so I can look at stuff there only - I never post or comment. Only wish I’d completely fabricated what little personal information I enterewhen I first signed up. I use FB but prevent it from using me.
Same here.
My wife bugged me for a long time to join up, but I couldn't see the point of it, and she couldn't explain it to me. She eventually convinced me that it was a great way for us to stay in touch with our extended family back home, so I relented and did it.
Being the naturally suspicious type, I kept my profile information to a bare minimum, and soon learned how to limit who could 'see' me.
Didn't take long for me to begin seeing what my friends and family back home thought about national and world events. Quite a few of them quickly figured out where I was coming from, too.
After the predictable fireworks of the 2008 election, I chose to ignore the feed on my home page, and now only participate in secret groups, among like minded individuals - if at all.
For the last couple of years, I only use Face book to stay connected with Freepers when FR is down.
