I put nothing on facebook that I don't care if the whole world knows. I only have people I KNOW personally as friends and everyone else is just blocked entirely. I don't track myself and post it to facebook, using like foursquare. I also signed up using an email address I never check, so I don't even get junk email from facebook to my real email address.
don't put personal info out there and you won't feel helpless. Facebook is a fun and interactive tool, do not make it your lifeline to the world in general by putting your entire life story on it and expecting that of your family & friends.
Sorry if I sound harsh! I read that article and the comments below (the article, not here) and thought some people really are completely ignorant.   |
Totally agree, I guess I'm still having a hard time understanding why so many people put so much personal information out there. It's like they use Facebook as a diary.
