I have been thinking recently that you're probably wise not to be on there. I really like how it's gotten me back in contact with a few people. And it's still the only way I talk to a couple of them. But otherwise, it can be a huge pain in the ass. Especially once your parents and high school teachers get added to your friends list. Then it's like church or something where you have to be on your best behavior. And it's also not that great having unwisely added a bunch of people from your past that you were otherwise done with.
Anyway, my point is I considered for a while badgering you to get on there, then eventually came to realize you were probably the smarter of the two of us for not joining the collective.
Facebook allows you to create friend lists and you can adjust privacy settings for each list. I have a list called limited access. They get access to a few photo albums and some basic info and that is essentially it. I don't think I have high school teachers of facebook, but I certainly put my boss at work in that category. Along with that guy I knew 5 years ago and didn't even really like at the time.
#9, number 9, turn me on dedmun: I consider anyone who graduated before the year 2000 to be OLD People on Facebook.
ReplyDeleteYes, I a crotchety old hater.

ReplyDeleteThat's a good idea, I might do that, thanks.
