Fishy that is what FB is all about. You choose your fruiends! They do not choose you. I like it for the business links too. The recent EHV-1 virus comes to mind. Lots of good official data and links! I do not post too much except yesterday. I went crazy with two pics and one update! |

RR can you comment on her status "so sorry to hear about the loss of your pet fish"?? I actually deactivated my FB monday night to see how long I could last...but I have it back already hahaha. I don't have that many friends either (pretty sure my mom has more! ) and go through my list and delete people I dont talk to at least once every few months. I keep a few around because I LOVE looking at their pictures, and I keep a few HS non-friends around because I LOVE at their pictures (mean, I know but, they have never been nice girls and are now coincidentally best friends).I have a lot of people hidden from my news feed, too. I learned how to do that when Farmville came out and my SIL started updating her status with the stupidest stuff ever. Its an amazing feature. But still, I am a little ashamed that I couldnt even last 36 hours without FB! |

Do not friend family! How about that. Has anyone tried blocking someone? What does that do? |

I've blocked two people, which means they essentially don't know you exist on facebook. They can't search for you or see any of your interactions. Hiding someone from your feed just means you cannot see their updates, but they still see what you post and you still have access to their page. Today I'm annoyed at my friend's husband who leaves idiotic/odd comments on my page regularly. I don't know what to do about it as unfriending him would surely cause negative feelings. I'm wondering if I should keep my current page, pare the friends list down to only the people I talk to regularly, and then make a more general/less personal page I can use for "acquaintances" that I still want to keep in touch with but whom I don't want everyday interaction. Oh the trials and tribulations of social networking.... |

You can disallow him from commenting on your wall. My 90 year old grandmother and 93 year old grandfather are now on facebook. I can't not friend them, so I just limit some of my more offensive content. |

Gah, if she can't be bothered to provide more information than that, she's an attention whore. I really despise that kind of nonsense. FG, were you creating a diversion on your FB posting mentioned the privacy issues, especially with adoptive parents, in preparation for ditching a load of folks? Or is there a real issue? I'm just curious. I tend not to hold much back, so I don't think much about privacy at all, but I am both naive and I have rather good luck, so my judgement is not always spot on. |

Yeah there's a lot of weirdness involved in that Steph..... long story................ makes me super uncomfy. RR, the post is part diversionary but also part real concern. Our adoption agency just put out some info about adoption and internet privacy, and it made me go Hmm. They've had some issues with birth family/adoptive family contact via FB. I guess that coupled with some of my recent feelings about FB is prompting me to make a change. Edited by FlashGordon, May 18 2011, 12:42 PM.

**sniff** flashy has not friended me but no worries, really...Mr. Diva's best friend is one of those people who has to make weird comments on my status updates and pictures. I have a bunch of friend requests that I have ignored -- usually the tweens from the barn. I do not want to have censor what I say because they are on my facebook and I do not have to be friends with them. I have a bunch of girls from high school who have tried to friend me and I was not their friend then so why would I be their friend now? And JTM -- I better get a friend request from you real soon .... I miss seeing you on FB You are my other daughter
