yay! though it has it’s pros and cons, it is a nice way to keep in touch, and get info on shows, gatherings, etc. Private your profile,and you’ll be all good to go.

You join FB, I guess next thing you’ll know, I’ll be Twittering…;)

What Tyler said. You can control your privacy settings. Also if there are stuff you don’t want ppl to know just don’t post them. I have a facebook account but I only post selective infromation.

Remember you can control your privacy settings! Also remember that any uploaded photo to Facebook becomes Facebook’s property and you a) agree that the photo you upload, you have rights to use it and b) you allow facebook to use them for marketing purposes or something stupid.

Then again you can just upload to Flickr and I think there is an Facebook App that allows you to display your Flickr photos through Facebook.

I cranked up my Facebook privacy and removed over 150 ‘friends’ since now I only use it for people I interact with. I don’t keep ‘friends’ from highschool that i haven’t seen/talked to since highschool etc. I know people with over 700 friends. Do they really know 700 people or have they met them briefly at one point in their lives?

Hard to stay out of the big social networks when connections provide reciprocal benefits…
