Facebook bites!

I finally got around to starting a facebook page last week and since that day I can't access it!

I can't find any support phone numbers and the email support is a joke, I just get the same response over and over, that is, when I get a response.

I've been on for over 3 years and have 2 accounts--what are you under and I'll see if I can find you.

I use it to keep in touch with friends and family that live out of town. I don't understand why some people have to change their status everything they do something

I had to do a facebook page for my boss. It's bad enough having to come up with cool stuff about your own life. Try doing that for someone you barely know, don't like all that much and signs your paycheck.

Facebook is hell.

Don't use it...
Burglars develop list of targets...
"As well as information about trips away, people were posting party photos showing the interiors of homes and also chatting about their cool new purchases and presents."

"I call it 'Internet shopping for burglars.' It is incredibly easy to use social networking sites to target people, and then scope out more information on their actual home ..."

I started on facebook back when it was cool and only for college kids. Now it pretty much sucks. Nothing like having your moms friends and aunts that you see once every 10 years as your freinds and posting on your wall randomly. I go on it a few times a week, but not alot of time.

as far as theft, if you dont post critical info you are fine. I have heard that by putting your full b-day (w/ year) some one can steal you identity w/ just your b-day, name and state. Aperently the facebook/social networking crowd is the fasted growing victims fo ID theft.

Yeah I got on when it was only college kids as well.
My personal page is set to private and no one can see or post on my wall unless they are a friend. The other account is a work one for my students--for me to keep in contact with them, I go where they are--in fact, I noticed now that I'm job hunting, that many now ask if you have experience using social networking sites like FB.

My page has nothing I would be ashamed of since my students did have access.

It's better than that creepy MySpace!
