I am a hold-out also. Like anything else, in moderation I suppose it is just fine, however, I choose to keep my mundane life to myself.
The news shocased some guy that posted on facebook and was utterly shocked when he returned from a 2 week announced trip to the Bahama's and his place was totally wiped out except the light bulbs. GO FIGURE!!!

It's a way to connect with people from like high school, collage or even work. When you fill out the information on where and when you went to high school, ect. It will connect you with those people who also listed the same thing. It will bring up a list of others on FB that match and you can send a friend request. They will get an e-mail asking if they know you or not. If they say "yes" then they are listed as your friend on FB.
Security can be set up many ways from to very restrictive to anyone can see what you post. Most of the time you set it so that only your friends can see what you post.
Many people play the games and there are lots of them. I don't as it wastes too much time. The games and applications from FB will also pull your profile information. That is another reason to not play or use the applications they have. Security risk for sure.
Bottom line is that for most people FB ranks right up there as a large waste of time. I have one school chum that posts what he is doing about evey 30 minutes all day long. GET A LIFE!

I use it as advertising during the market season. Also to keep friends updated about projects I am working on. Or general time wasting while I am waiting on the ole lady or kids.

I have used if for past several months as have a few other members of this board who I know about, couple from down under and here in MN as well as some who havew kind of stopped posting here as the ability on facebook to block out the ones you do not want on your site or page.
Started with 2 people from high school and now around 25 and looking for few more for 50th class reunion.
Also for family search as had 20 or so relatves that also use it but now contacted 20 or more in Germany with same last name and now keep contact with them.

I am on Facebook but don't use it for much. My sister used it lately to keep family and friends informed of BIL's progress. It is handy for things like that. My daughter plays the farm game for something to do but I have the opinion that all their games are a waste of time except to collect info for facebook advertisers

I am on FB but don't do much with it. Started using it to find friends from college days some 45 years ago but don't have much interest in sharing all the daily details of my life with the cyber world!

I'm on it, but very infrequently. It confuses the bejeepers out of me, I never know who I'm talking to and who I'm not.

Far too many people, with too much time, and too little to do. Besides that, why do you want to get in touch with people from your past, there's a reason why you lost touch in the first place!

If it seems like a good idea, do it. It's easier to apologise than to get permission.

Well Joe there is alot of reasons I use it to keep in touch with people from the past. Some of my friends moved away others went into the military and I was on the road trucking for weeks at a time. We lost contact and now am very thankful for finding them again!!! When I graduated high school we didn't have cell phones to keep in contact and up to the minute. When 2 of my friends went into the military that was the last I had contact with them. We have now reconected through facebook and am really surprised where one of them landed up!

I've been on Facebook for over three years now. When I started it was just me and a bunch of high school kids, over the years alot of my old friends have joined. I think it's great and a good way to be in touch with them without making any real effort to be in touch with them. All you have to do is update your page once and a while and you all know what is going on with each other.

Have been for about a year or so, mainly to keep in touch with old friends. There is quite a bit of Allis activity on there. I'm with a couple groups there.

Got a face book account to keep up with family reunion preparations. Located a few old military buddies through FB. I check it maybe every other week. If you want to know what I am dong send me an email and ask. I don't need to post my life on FB.

I'm on there too..more than I should be at times.. it can be neat to have sometime, but like everybody else said..its a BIG time waster..and has been known to stir up stuff between people that probably would've gone on smoothly. There are a few good Ac 'groups' on there that I check out from time to time. -Wes
