Anyone on here use it?

I think it's a pretty awesome way to keep in touch with people.

Don't know how it differs from myspace, but I love it!

No, I'm anti social. Plus companies search those sites now, so you could lose a great job if they find an old college picture of you doing a jello shot off some girl. All my friends got rid of their's for that reason.

If I were you, I'd be very discriminative on that one ... there is some questionable reputation going around the blogsphere, about Facebook.

Facebook opens profiles to public

Popular social networking site Facebook has added a public-facing search function in a move which is likely to anger privacy advocates.

The function will initially allow anyone who is not registered with the site to search for a specific person.
More controversially, in a month's time, the feature will also allow people to track down Facebook members via search engines such as Google.
The firm said that the information being revealed is minimal.

Privacy erosion
The public search listing will show the thumbnail picture of a Facebook member from their profile page as well as links allowing people to interact with them.

But, in order to add someone as a friend or send them a message, the person will have to be registered with Facebook.
Users who want to restrict what information is available to the public or opt out of the feature altogether can change their privacy settings. They have a month to do so.

Despite assurances from Facebook, critics have expressed disappointment at the move.

"This move transforms Facebook from being a social network to being a quasi-White Pages of the web," commented technology writer Om Malik in his blog GigaOm.

Mr Malik, and others, are concerned about the data trail that people are routinely leaving behind them on social networking and other sites.
There are concerns that personal content will become aggregated for marketing or other purposes.

Security experts have pointed out the dangers of publicising your date of birth - one of the options in a Facebook profile - because of the way it has been traditionally used as a way of identifying bank customers. Facebook began life as a way of keeping US college students in touch with each other. Devised by Harvard drop-out Mark Zuckerberg, the site now accounts for 1% of all net traffic and is the sixth most visited site in the US The social networking site is thought to have about 39 million members. Numbers have jumped since the firm removed the need to have an academic e-mail address in September 2006.

I've got facebook. I don't like their ways of dealing with data. I am not worried, because I don't have anything up that is questionable.

I think, as long as you keep is to the stuff you wouldn't mind an employer seeing, you'll be ok.

Well, you can have security breach anywhere online, even or esp. with online banking.

What worries me more about those "social networking sites" is the kind of stuff people do to each other .. there are a lot of wierdos and twisted minds out there, with ideas that probably wouldn't cross my mind, not even in it's wildest dreams.

Facebook. I'm on it...Oh yes, indeed.

Its great as I have rediscovered many faces from the past. Consequently I even met up with some of them in person.

I keep only the information that isn't in danger of being abused up there. But, I keep my personality on there, always.

I don't really care for the gimmicky applications. I do like the "Notes" feature. Being able to write when I feel and have other friends comment on the material is nice.

Its a good way to keep in touch. Although I notice the girls I know seem to be a lot more into it than the guys...Especially with the non-stop messaging, those annoying emoticons, and the constant distribution of those gimmicky apps (I swear I get a new request every other day). Its like spam, IMHO.

I have a Facebook and MySpace page but don't actively do much with them because I don't really have the time. I mainly use MySpace to keep in touch with my sister in Chicago because she replies to my messages through the site a lot faster than she replies to emails.

My wife is fairly active on Facebook with old H.S. and college friends as well as 'net friends w/kids with Down syndrome from some Ds message boards and sites.
