Say, for those out there who doesn't want to divulge real and too much information about yourself, do you create a bogus Facebook account? It is fun as long as you don't do or say anything bad to your friends. I have another account that I use to make friends to people from other countries. And sometimes I chat with these people who speaks Spanish with the help of google translate. LOL! It's just fun to meet people from other country and chat as if you've been friends for a long time already. Sometimes, it's just hard to understand the translations. :)

I haven't done a bogus account, but I am careful as to what goes on there. I figure they will know sooner or later it is me so I don't worry with the bogus. I did have fun chatting with some people from other countries that played the Texas Holdem. I haven't been on there in a long time though. Maybe I'll have to play tonight..lol.

That translator option is a huge help. I have some Spanish speaking friends and sometimes I understand but there are times when I don't. I speak it alot better than I read it..lol..that's not saying very much though. I am very funny about the things I put on facebook. I share some photos and stuff like that but I am careful not to post anything that I would worry about anyone at all seeing.

I have many bogus account but, three of them are the most useful accounts, I mainly created them for the sake of games, so could squeeze out more juice an have more neighbors, and I'm enjoying the progress of my games.

well I guess, picture is enough as a personal information to be given on my real FB account, but I'm certainly not putting any of my personal information in a bogus account, that's a big no for now.

Hi! I have another account in Facebook aside from my original account but I don't open it anymore. I used it for playing Farm Ville. I did not create it myself. A "neighbor" of mine at Farm Ville created it for me so that I can redeem some game cash.

Bogus account? Well what could it benefit one if he creates a bogus account? I don't think I'd do that. In the first place Facebook is for meeting old and new friends alike. So then it could serve the purpose if my account is bogus? So my answer to your question...is NO.

Aside from my real account, I also created another account in Facebook. I created it primarily for playing FB Games. I'm not providing much information of myself on my Bogus FB account. I don't mind accepting friends as long as we have friends in common. I also use my bogus account to like pages and photos especially when a friend asked me to like his/her photo to gain popularity. However, I always keep the chat turned off on my bogus account because I don't want to be bothered by someone I am not familiar with. Having a bogus account is really fun, you may post crazy stuff that you cannot do on your main account since friends may get offended.

I meet people from other countries on forums and if I like them I might add them on msn messenger to chat once in a while. For me that's enough, so no I don't. I also don't think I'll ever have one. It's hard enough to check my real FB account regularly and FB chat is still a bit buggy and crap compared to msn.

I just made one bogus account recently. I made it because I was assigned to make a group page for our group in Personality Development class. I separated it so that my original facebook will not be flooded with messages with regards to school matters. I also plan to be friends with other nationalities whom I don't know in order to establish friendship without really revailing my true identity. But as of now my reasons are for school.
