It is true about facebook. I get 5 "friend requests" in a row sometimes. Once I file do I then respond with a FTC notice or just keep denying them?

we have fought tooth and nail against sites like twitter and facebook...it's just putting yourself out there on a silver platter...in your case since your broke....a plastic platter.

i'm not clearly ever going to understand those sites personally.

this site is about the closest i have even gotten to exposing myself. (am i showing?) i HOPE not! after all i now live in

nunavut...which means in english NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS...(i just learned that today)

well, it's very easy to make yourself invisible on facebook except to people you know.
Yes, it limits the 'networking' aspect, but I have a facebook to keep in touch with CLOSE friends and family who do not live near me, not to make new friends.

If you search for my name or email in facebook, it will tell you there is no such person. Unless you're already ON my friends list, I do not exist for you. If you google my name, my facebook does not come up on google. If I know you and you want to be my friend on facebook, i have to find YOU and send YOU a friend request. No one can send me friend requests, no one not on my friends list can send me messages, I am not searchable in the database. It's not just that I have some info private, my page does not exist for you.

it's still scary to me...i'd rather view facebook....
