I dont use it very often, but I reckon was the best way to find some old friends, school/high school friends.

I work for IBM, and IBM has a very adamant policy of not talking bad about the company or their clients at all... I have this friend of mine, who used to post tons and tons of bad things about Helltv (also known as Belltv) he got a call from HR, he said he was going to be suspended for misleading and talking bad about one of IBM's client (Belltv)... My friend was really upset and swearing everybody in the office, just to later find out that he added the HR guy as a friend on facebook some weeks ago...

Set your privacy settings properly, don't add people you don't know or like, don't put anything up that could potentially harm you in any way, and Facebook is a great way to contact people and waste a bit of time.

This.  I kill a decent bit of time at work chatting with friends through Facebook.

I agree it was nicer when all the teenagers couldn't get in, but it's not like the site was absolutely ruined when they opened it up to everybody.  My siblings are cool, and my parents are too old to figure this stuff out, so I don't mind what family, etc. I have added.  And I have a couple of friends that didn't go to college who couldn't get in otherwise.


Hey!

If you were a teen, you'd wonder why oldies over 20 are allowed in in the first place

Doesn't really matter to me. Even though I'm on it nonstop, I just use it as an easy chat and for the occasional joke with friends. If they want to sell my information, or do anything else like that, I could really care less. Not like that information can't be found elsewhere. Especially in regards to the pot smoking and drinking...if you don't want somebody to see that you are doing this, don't do it


I'm sorry to be all grammar police on this, but I get somewhat bothered by the prevelance of the term 'I could care less' when people actually mean 'I couldn't care less'. It seems to have taken hold, perhaps in America, and is now a phrase used that makes no logical sense. Think about it people, if you could care less it would imply that you do care, whereas if you couldn't care less it would mean that it was impossible for you to care any less than you do because you without doubt do not care.

Anyway, I'm close to starting a tongue-in-cheek campaign to get people to care about 'couldn't care less'. We must stamp out this menace to logical word use...

I know what you mean, I recognised that the first time somebody said it.

My facebook name is not my real name. This way, I never get adds from people I don't want to have on my list. I add those who I think are worthy!

I happen to love facebook and i'm on it pretty much everday.I'm at that age were it doesn't matter what's on my freind's list. my mom,sister's and whom ever is on my freind's list. I pretty much don't have anything to hide and if I did I just would'nt post it on facebook at all. Facebook is pretty much what you make it it. The only thing I hate is that if you want to request just random people,they'll let you do that to a point,then they block you and consider it spamming. What does it matter whom I request? Other then that facebook is a pretty fun website.
