Or you could've just said that it's a tad gay.

I use facebook. I'm not a avid nut like some. However, FB needs to be used wisely. Do not post compromising pictures. It is not a place to vent your anger at someone (many do and it is now a tool for bully tactics). Certainly do not post anything about your company/coworkers/boss...you will find yourself looking for a job.

I never put up anything I don't want people to see. Simple as that.

And Facebook found my kids and grandkids, so I can't knock them.

Exactly. I use it, but I never put anything out there that I wouldn't want shared with the whole world. If FB wants to share a picture of my cat that I uploaded, I'm okay with that. If they want to say that I'm from Houston....heck, just look to the left of this post and you can see that information.

I understand that FB is crap for privacy, and that they're a real scumbag company, but I really don't have anything to be afraid of. I find it useful for catching up with people I haven't talked to in years. So there's value in it for me.

Yeah, I found some old college friends. I found friends I grew up with. It is not all bad.

I refuse to use any program that forces me to be connected to the internet all the time, that collects private information, that...

....wait a minute, where I have heard that before?...

luckily in the Netherlands we've got Hyves.nl, pretty similar to facebook, but with the possibility of fully customizing your page and with much better privacy (you can make any part you want visible for nobody, your friends, your friends friends or anybody).
As of december 2009, hyves had 9.5 million members, which is more than half of our entire population.

That's why I don't do facebook
