Frankly, I think they all suck a little. Nothing is private anymore. Between Facebook, Myspace, Twitter, blah blah ... it's amazing how some people in the world can't function without knowing when someone flushes a toilet.
I have a facebook page - but I keep it private and with little information. I never post anything about work, and if I do complain about something, I keep it ambiguous. Lately, all I've been posting are pictures of Max (our new fuzzie baby). Outside of that, I have actually thought about deleting it.

*tilts head, thinking*
I don't think I can delete my facebook. It helps me feel connected to people who are really important to me. I hid all the apps and games, so what I see on fb is what those I care about are talking about. It's sorta like a giant expanded version of the Dear thread. |

I'd had a Facebook account for a while before I began using it. When I did start using it I only used it to help keep in contact with my long distance girlfriend. I never accepted friend requests from anyone I worked with. Well, actually, anyone at all. Then slowly I began understanding how important it is for me to live authentically without compartmentalizing different aspects of me. I don't talk about my sex life and I don't bitch about my work (beyond an occasional "man, what a day" comment now and again). Keeping in mind the basic tenets of what is appropriate for public consumption I'm able to navigate both my personal and professional lives. Granted, I don't friend professional contacts whom I've not met in person. And.... when I really need to keep a comment from someone, or someones I simply filter it with the Facebook tools - for lists, etc. |

I am not a fan of Facebook. I tried it and it was fun to begin with but then it started requiring too much everyday maintenance to keep up with everyone's postings and remarks. Then, if I neglected or accidentally overlooked someone's post and did not respond, they would get their feelings hurt.
Facebook is a total waste of my time. I can see where it has caused many people much trouble. Same goes for other similar sites too. I would rather meet a friend face to face for dinner than spend endless hours on Facebook jockeying to be the most clever, the smartest, etc. one in my little group. Maybe if I did not work then I might feel differently - who knows??? Anyway, I know I am much better in person with people than I am in any given online situation. Really not too good online at all. One bad choice in my wording (might be just one typed word) can pull me into typing for hours trying to explain that is not what I meant. It is very frustrating for me when I have hurriedly chosen a wrong word in my description of something. But then, that is just me and my take on things. |

I tried Facebook for about a week, maybe. I was bombarded with Farm Animal stuff. I keep my account primarily dormant. When I am doing research and know maybe Facebook can help, I reactivate my account, go in, do my business and reset my account to "Deactivate."

Also, depending on the field you are in, you can very quickly be terminated for your postings on social sights. I work at a hospital. People will inadvertantly post comments that they don't even realize are violations to HIPPA and quickly get canned. A |

I'm job hunting now and I've come across a couple of companies that have inquired about social networking sites.
Is it just me or is Big Brother getting bigger? Blech. |

Getting bigger. I never put stuff out on the netz that would be considered inappropriate to a business atmosphere. I have an internal switch for that kind of thing.

Here's the thing:
Never post anything on-line that you would be horrified to see on the front page of The New York Times. Plain and simple. Keep things private. Most large companies have background checkers who will google, check all social networking sites and twitter to find information about a prospective employee. Cut and dry. I have a Face Book and I enjoy it immensely. It's been a venue to reconnect with old friends and family as well as keep up with current friends, etc... But remember folks it's not called the World Wide Web for nothing. What you do and say is far reaching and speaks volumes about who you are! |
