I absolutely refuse to use Facebook or other social media because they share too much personal information. In addition, I don't like the little short messages used on Facebook. IMO, there isn't any "meat" in the messages. Unfortunately, I think you are correct that most people have gone to Facebook, and that means that usenet is disappearing. MaryL I also like the threads here on usenet. On Facebook messages are often succeeded by those that aren't replying to the last post, and it's very hard to hold a real conversation there. |

MaryL Facebook messages can be as long as you like, unlike Twitter. No more information is shared than Usenet if set up properly. Facebook is notorious for changing the rules and sharing private information. I don't have any objection with people using Facebook, but I simply will not be among them. MaryL |

Facebook can ONLY share what you offer. Took me quite a while to sign up, but now I'm VERY glad I did, I reconnected with past friends AND family that I'd lost contact with. |

I know of at least three people from this group who have signed up to Facebook with completely made up information. Just make sure that your made-up name *sounds* like a real name. If you call yourself something like "The Cat Goddess," FB will harass you and try to get you to provide ID proving that your legal name really is The Cat Goddess. This kind of thing has happened to a friend of mine and to several of her friends. -- Joyce Something you'll never hear an 8-year-old say: "Nana, will you spit on your hankie and wipe the gravy off my face?" |

I know of at least three people from this group who have signed up to Facebook with completely made up information. Doesn't that sort of defeat the purpose if you're trying to reconnect with people? Personally I don't want to reconnect with anyone. I talk with all the family and friends I want to. Old friends are just that, old friends. Being a military brat I didn't exactly spend a lot of time getting to know people when I was a kid - we were always moving. No deep ties there. When I *did* sign up for FB a woman from High School (whom I'd been trying to avoid since my 30's for various reasons) found me. She was always a bit of a nutcase. That's fine fine when you're in school or even in your 20's. By the time she found me on FB she was on her third (or is it her fourth?) husband. She'd turned into a holy roller (i.e. spouting the gospel). No, thanks. Jill |
