I have an account but I'm definetly not a fan.
I don't care who just made cookies, what kind of coffee you drink, if you love your kids, or if you just farted.
These people that think the rest of the world wants to know what they are doing 24/7 need some help.
I also tink FB has hurt SBG in some ways. A lot of the old timers post there but rarely here.

well, I only use FB to connect with people (mostly from US).
It's good to share photos around and comment (it gets us toghter:D).
and no, I am not a fan of facebook, I just use it from time to time -

Like everything else, moderation is the key. I've connected with some old friends and new connections because of Facebook, but some people do overpost.

I refuse to use Facebook. I dont see the point in it at all.
I kept getting 'you've been poked' emails, and 'someone you havent seen since 1983 wants to give you a lump of cow sh*t to go in your Farmville farm' emails, and 'scary psycho woman Juliet who had epilepsy and who you mercilessly nailed in a broom closet in 1993 wants to tell you that you should support the South West Nigeria Battle for Cleaner Drinking Water Brigade' emails.
I dont have time for all that crap.
I'd love to know what Twitter is all about though. That seems kind of interesting. But FB sucks a big one. -

I disable my account about a month ago...too much to do, so little time.

Like the man said,"moderation is the key".

I think that it can be a good tool, when used properly, to connect with true friends that may no longer be close (geographically). Like Red said, moderation is key.

I agree with the moderation thing, however it seemed to me that no matter how little I used facebook, it was other people that needed a lesson in moderation. I know you can fix the settings to only receive certain types of updates and stuff like that, but jeez louise, the amount of crap some people post on FB, even if I cut my email notifications down to almost zero, I was still bombarded. I deleted my account. Anyone who is a real friend knows where I am, and the rest of them can kiss it.

Yup, I know what you mean...I have a friend and her FB is like a GPS. I can go to FB and see where she is anytime of the day. And she has photos and info that someone will grab on to someday. That ain't for this ol' boy.

Exactly. I feel the same. I do agree with moderation, but it would only work for me if I could moderate everyone else on Facebook

That's what the hide and delete features are for.

Im not sure we have the same features here. I know some of the FB settings have been banned by the EU for some reason, and we dont have all the same settings you have, and we have some that you dont have.
The only one I ever really wanted was 'click here to electrocute the person who is getting on your tits', but I was never able to find a link for it. -

EU = European Union.
I know you know that. -

That would be a nice feature!
