Is Facebook gaining size but losing relevance?

Facebook is now fast becoming a global phenomenon.But all that popularity somehow repels me. That's because you never know who you are going to meet, your boss, your lover, your cousin,someone who insulted you etc etc and who knows after some time, maybe the ET too! But I don't like all that popularity since I like to keep a low profile. The logic is that the more members there are, the more searches will there be and the more will people look at your profile. That's why I deleted my account in facebook, a few months back. I know someone (my brother-in-law) who has both me and his daughter (she has just started college now in Mumbai while he is working in Dubai) in his friends list. I had both of them too in my friend's list! Yeechhh! What do others feel about this?

i, myself really dislike FB, but my oldest daughter got me started on there and now since whole family practicly is on there, i still keep it, although only visit when someone in the family has to say something or, like a few of my friends on here has asked to be friends, which is cool. you can set your profile as private except for friends, etc. it took me months to find that out.

Oh you can actually hide your personality on facebook. It doesn;t require you to put your real life info if you really want to be private. I also thought about falsifying my profile but what is the essence? We are in social sites because we want to gain friends right?

Absolutely I feel it is completely over rated. I have an account which I seldom log into and even though it comes to my blackberry as alerts I continue to hit delete. That is myLot allows certain guideline on here so that all that facebook rubbish does not spill over here. By the way welcome - welcome to myLot
