Reasons why we avoid facebook

Hi Aja I think those folks who do that don't think of it as an invasion of privacy, because they are providing the information willingly. But if you think about it, when you track a computer online, you are tracking an IP address, but you have no way of knowing who is operating the computer. But there is something that is easy to track, and you are pretty much guaranteed of the identity of the person behind it; the cell phone. Cell phones must report their location to towers so incoming calls and texts can be routed to the phone. So you pretty much know where that phone is every minute of the day. Now one can argue that only your cell carrier can use that information to track a phone, but that can be disputed. Ever see one of those posts on social media that says "Jane Doe is now at the gym at 123 4th Street"? Ever notice those say posted by a phone's mobile app? So how do those folks think that information is gathered? Oh, and who is likely to have your phone other than you? Yep, gothca! know exactly where you are now.

I wonder why some people like posting their every move on facebook. are they not scared that people will invade their privacy? they have to learn to control themselves from such impulses. that's real ironic, jj and it's true. people can be contradictory, what do they want?

Hello! I used to play poker for hours too :) But yes, I rather be here also now..

haha, most of us here are from facebook. I've heard people here talk about the nonsense they find on facebook, though it's good entertainment. it's not good to hang around facebook too long, it could result to procrastination and even fights with other facebook people... when you do something wrong. for me, the discussions here are more sensible. lacks pictures though...

I just log in to Facebook everyday just to have it available just in case I need to use it for logging into some sites I can link it into. It is so much easier that way than to keep on doing it manually. I am avoiding it in a sense that I turned off the chat mode. Sometimes there are just people who keeps on bugging you in the middle of something important that you have to do on line. Plus it doesn't give you any monetary benefits unlike MyLot!

so right, misz! facebook is addicting, one has to learn to stop getting attached to facebook. good thing i realized it sooner than most. otherwise, i wouldn't be here earning money. hehe that's a good thing, mis. at least you are mildly addicted to facebook, facebook can be good for us when it's within the ideal dosage.
