Keep in mind there is NO privacy there. Here is the story, tell em what you think.

Hi! Yes, I use facebook, but only to play the applications there, and not to do something else. I have joined it 4 months ago, because of a task here on mylot, and I really didn't know about it before! Now I use it 3-4 time a day, but as I told only to play on the games, which are available there! Do you play any of the games there? You want to add you to my "happy aquarium" if you play it?

I do have an account in facebook but i just sign up there to play the flash games and to have a communication with my friends. But posting some private about me? Of course i do not tell anybody about that, coz it's private.

I use Facebook. I go there nearly every day. I would not, of course, put anything I wanted to be private on my wall or anybody else's. People who do that are not thinking clearly. Do they really think they are doing something private that only their friends will see? I expect those same people think the emails they send on the company email account are private or believe that if they delete an email it is actually gone. As far as real privacy, I gave that up long ago. There is no such thing anymore.

facebook is a joke. accounts hacked, kids yelling stupid things. etc.I'm on myspace, but my myspace profile is simply an extention of my "lazerm" persona. people are crazy to put their real names on there! and any pictures I post are of video game characters,etc.

You have to read more than just this article to base your judgement. You also need to take into consideration that anything put on the web is going to be stored somewhere. This is where commonsense needs to come into play.
I have been on FB for over a year and I've had no issues. No viruses, no hackers, nothing. No problems at all. I have pics of my kids out there and I will continue to post pictures out there.
Their practices and behaviors are standard for technology. The IT person at my employer has an administrator password and can log into my email and remote into my computer. Do I like it? No. Is that standard? Yes.
Look at both sides on the story as it says at the end of the article:

Yes, like many other people around the globe I too have Facebook id. As far as the using and dedication is considred it is not not my favorite. I am using Orkut and very much interested in MySpace also. I have heard a lot about these social networking sites that they connect people acroos the countries on common interests and subjects, as well to share the knowledge. In this regard I don't think Facebook is behind any one. What you like and What interests you much is a different kind of topic.

I used to use it, but now I am bored of it and rarely log on. Plus, I already knew about Facebook and how nobody has any privacy on the site, so when I registered I just put in a fake name and address and changed the name after I was fully registered

I used facebook yes, and im enjoying playing farmtown and farville, but that was before. My homepage now was always myLot. I just vuisited facebook once in a while.
I don't post all of my pics there, ive got a very very small number of pics only, i still enjoy seeing all our pics in the photo album rather than in computer.
