Facebook...OR Not to Facebook...is the question???

What do you use Facebook for??? So many want to get closer to old class mates, Some look at it as a dating tool and others are just rudely snoopy, They just want to click in on what you have been doing and who you have been sleeping with over the past 20 years. Is it safe? do you trust your kids on Facebook??? How many friends do you have on your page????

#11 \| 1204 days ago Elvisnga (+)	(Edited by Elvisnga) It's a good deal...I enjoy it. Being in the military, it's been vital to keeping up with folks back home. I got started on the myspace/facebook deal back in 07 just to keep an eye on my oldest who lived and breathed thru her myspace page. Most everyone I went to school with or played football against or ....is on there it seems, along with all the folks I've played ball with in the military. 550 something friends I think I don't know for sure...there are a good 100 or so I'm not real sure who they are or how I know them. My wife jokes that there are some folks you just don't need to 'keep in touch' with. :)

#13 \| 1204 days ago murphyiv (+)	(Edited by murphyiv) The gov and private detectives are more than happy some many people jumped on Facebook and Myspace. It saved them from having to do the work. They have quite a few "Dossiers" available now and ready for prosecuting. I myself, have never used either. This is bad enough, and my blogs are bad enough. None for me, thank you. The Boston Globe reported on this matter in January: In an informal survey of 14 departments in this area, officials in half of them said they use social networking websites such as Facebook and MySpace in detective work - particularly in investigations involving young people.

In-Q-Tel, the investment arm of the CIA and the wider intelligence community, is putting cash into Visible Technologies, a software firm that specializes in monitoring social media. It’s part of a larger movement within the spy services to get better at using ”open source intelligence” — information that’s publicly available, but often hidden in the flood of TV shows, newspaper articles, blog posts, online videos and radio reports generated every day.

People move so much, change email addresses, change phone numbers, etc. that the social networking thing has been great. Not only that, but I've been back in touch with a lot of people I really miss from back home that I either worked with or went to school with that I thought I might never see again. Good people that we just lost contact. I have something like 300 friends on there. The only ones that I don't know personally are the people who have added me from here. The rest are friends and family from home, school, work, or our Coastie pals. 34

#36 \| 1203 days ago VIOLET (+)	I don't have a facebook account because I have two more like that in different sites but I never go there, I openned those accounts because some friends invited me and I din't want to be rude, but then new people start to add u as a friend and u don't even know them. Conclusion I'm about to cancel both accounts because they don't look interesting to me, if I want to be in touch with friends or relatives I use regular e-mails, msn or the phone, that doesn't bother me.
