Your Opinion on Facebook

Plus like Schneed says- all the privacy issues are a big turn-off - Facebook "accidentally" leaks access to user names and passwords, etc etc. No thanks. I just don't feel any need to put my business out there, even if I can control the privacy settings (right up until Facebook screws up and has yet another privacy breakdown).

This basically answers the question how this board is different then being on FB. Good job GM!

To me facebook is cyber small talk, I hate when someone calls me from the past out of the blue and you have to go through your life story about what has been going on.

I am horrible with staying in touch with folks. If you are "in my life" right now great but once we move on good luck to you.
