Good point, but then again, of course there are limits and you should know how to use these limits.

Privacy is very important and I pretty much understand your point, but the good thing on FB is that you can also control your Privacy, it's tiring no doubt but useful. Also, If I have to pick up my phone and call for example my two sisters, my parents, my friends whom are all away from me, then I'd be broke in just 1week.

As for your last part, I'm 100% with you there. Couldn't agree more.

The privacy stuff doesn't bother me. It's more like the IT Crowd parody, where you have two people sitting on a couch texting each other, saying, "Why bother talking when you can type?"

The trouble for me probably is that I like having active personal engagements with those people in my life, not passive, "stalking" ones. It's the idea that the form holiday letter addressed anonymously to everyone has a value.

I've found Facebook useful for the people who aren't in your inner circle of friends and family but are just outside of it. Which is nice. But to be honest, those people aren't that important to me. And if I'm too lazy to pick up the phone and talk to my brother, for example, then I don't want some lazy personal feed to be a substitute for having a conversation.

Fundamentally for me, I guess that's the problem. For a "social network", it's pretty anti-social... because the tools for anonymously publishing a photo from a restaurant or saying that you injured your ankle becomes a substitute for actually directly speaking with the people you supposedly care about. Things like FB are less a conversation than a form letter -- a lazy cop-out for having more meaningful relationships with people.

Yeah some of my friends forwarded some pics via e-mail to me.My ex took my pics & photoshoped her pics my mine & she even set her relationship status to "in a relationship with byron" hence my current fb deactivation.Some fvcked up things can go down on there.
