You been on Facebook?

Post #325,911 by folkert 5/9/10 2:08:08 PM Reply	You been on Facebook? I have and I am welcoming the additional settings. It was too sparse even in December. I now have the ability to pick and choose what I want when. The only problem is that when new settings become available, they are defaulting to "everyone". You just have to get in the habit of checking things.
Post #325,913 by Another Scott 5/9/10 2:53:01 PM Reply	Never have. I'm a Luddite when it comes to "social networking". As people here know, I try to be circumspect in what I post here, but can give TMI on occasion. Since even the MSM is pushing Facebook and Twitter now, I occasionally think that I'm missing out and should take the plunge. Then some story gets some press about how "evil" these companies that are providing a free service are, or I figure that by the time I take the plunge it'll be a sure sign that that horse is dead, or ... I got a LinkedIn invite once, but wasn't interested in that, either. Yeah, I know that self-censorship is the best defense against stalkers, advertisers and the like. Still, it's hard to be 100% vigilant. Of course, Facebook is going to do what it can to make money - I have no problem with that. They do seem to be ham-handed about their "upgrades" though (resetting defaults, etc.). I guess I'm going to be left behind. Oh well. ;-) Cheers, Scott.

Yes the initial cut over to the new systems screwed up a lot of settings. How many times have we given Microsoft... and gave up worrying about it and just assume its fecked. Why haven't the <insert government agency> rake Microsoft over the coals like this? Because the DOJ has convicted them and then slapping the wrist.

I'm a social person, but I like to have some control of where my information is put and who is allowed to interact with me. I don't want the whole world to know my business either.
