Pop UP Times on Facebook !!

awesome, I am totally addicted to FB lol.  Probably why I haven't posted many other places in a while.  lol

I also use it to keep in touch with friends old and new.  I have reconnected with several friends from high school, found a cousin that no one knew exsisted, am able to stay connected with other parents from my CHD suport groups that I belong to, and to stay connected with parents in my children's schools.  It is much less of a commitment than the phone since you can respond on your own time so if a child calls you, you can stop typing on the computer and go see what is the matter instead of having to hang up and call back etc.  It is a great tool and a lot of fun, too.  Of course, it is not as private as a phone conversation since any of your friends can comment...

I did get only one friend request I didn't know and I just did accept it.  All my info is listed as just friends to keep it a little more private.  But I wouldn't post anything on there I wouldn't want my mother to see... lol

Just like anything on the web, there should be ZERO expectation of privacy.  That being said, FB is a great way to connect with folks.  It is also rapidly becoming a hot advertising medium as well.  Just remember a few simple "common sense" rules with FB and you'll be fine

- Don't post anything there that you wouldn't want the world to see

- Be careful about posting things like phone numbers, WHOLE addresses, etc.

- "Private" never really means "private"...although FB is infinitely more secure and less risky than Myspace.
