[QUOTE="CrazyinVA, post: 657864, member: 1157"] I love Facebook. For me it's about keeping in touch with friends and family I don't always see often, I love seeing their photos and reading about their escapades. I also use it to keep up with what's going on in the world. Breaking news spreads like wildfire on Facebook, and I've also read some great articles through links from the pages I follow. I also have a Facebook page that I maintain for a social group I run. I view Facebook as entertainment, and try not to take it too seriously. Sure there are occasionally posts from people who are drama queens/kings -- but I either unfriend them, or unsubscribe so I don't have to see them in my feed (that includes relatives, occasionally). I guess I'm lucky, because most of my friends are pretty drama-free. As for privacy, I only accept requests from people I know, and check the "view as" setting fairly often to be sure it's locked down tight to the public. So far no issues there, and I've been on it for 7 or 8 years. I do a Google search of my name occasionally too, just to see what's out there ... everyone should do that, in my opinion. I do find myself posting less these days, Facebook is just too much of a time vampire. [/QUOTE]
