Well, thats just the other 0.00009%

While I refuse to have an account on FC/twitter and the likes (complete waste of time), I do agree with FIGator81 that using it in a sensible way can still make it reasonably safe. As far as sharing information is concerned, people's stupidity is infinite: Our new receptionist sent a facebook invite to our manager when she joined the company. Last week she was off work for two days "due to her grandmother's death". She seemed so upset about it. It didn't cross her mind that the manager might read her facebook updates about a fantastic 4 day drunken trip to some friends up north. It's not that the manager was being nosey. He's new to all those sites like that and is so hooked on facebook that he behaves like a child who enjoys a new toy checking the status of all his 'online friends' (around 5) a few times a day. He didn't fire her, though. He gave her one more chance.

oh, now that's sick ! I'm not talking to you again !

... too bad there is no vomit smilie

That sounds like a great way to give away your photos for commercial use. Seriously though, they are probably not going to do something about the pictures, as they would loose all their members and hence value by doing so. But you do realize that pictures uploaded on facebook are their property as well?

ROTFLMAO
No, I'm really Steve Ballmer...Ooo, that's worse than being Britney.
(worth 3 vomit smilies)

That's why I don't post anything with identifying information, nothing high-resolution, and nothing I would be embarrassed by or have to account for.

However, I do have friends and family members who are much less careful and I have to keep an eye on what they post; that got old real quick.

Well, at least I find Ballmer more entertaining ... dancing around like a monkey on PCP.
