No Morons Allowed!

36 Chambers suggests two quick ways to fix Facebook's major problems. I don't use Facebook, myself, but I like the blog author's incisive and witty writing.

Well said, good link Mr Paco.
Recently a tv "current affairs" program aired a piece about someone whose husband was being stalked on faceache by a neighbour who was obsessed with him.
Interesting. I was chatting with a friend on the phone when the advertisement came on for the program and we both said at the same time "well don't look at Facebook".
Too easy.

I'm on Facebook -- the younger generation in my family adores it, and it's about the only way to track their comings and goings -- but at least they keep the personal stuff off. As do I.

Michael Yon uses Facebook and Twitter for a lot of his shorter dispatches as well. So, if used wisely (as 36 Chambers puts so well), there is some value to it.

But not a lot.

i use facebook to keep in touch with the younger generation of my family as well. and my daughter. i post nothing too personal and rarely even make political comments. hell, i rarely post anything! my sweet sister on the other hand, is an open book. i asked her not to mention the family trip to italy, and she mocked me for being cautious. *rolling eyes*
