How active are you on Facebook?

NicksmomESQ · ‎08-19-2014

To all my forum friends how involved are you in Facebook? I have a page but in 10 Years I only have about 5 Facebook friends.I've only posted about 6 times.I have no photos or personal information on it.I know about the private settings feature but I feel that once you put something on line you can still lose control of it!! I know people who post their entire lives on facebook.Everywhere they go they post selfies etc.I just don't feel comfortable doing that!! I like keeping my private life private.I share with a small group of friends the old fashion way.

I have a 25 year old son who posts more than I do but very little & nothing personal.He is leary too because employers etc. look at Facebook before hiring!! He feels that things can come back to bite you down the road!! He knows of situations where this has happened!!

Your thoughts??

Not very active on FB at all.

I find it boring.

I have a few pages I like to look at and a couple of groups I joined but I don't post much.

I just suspended my account - there's no one I'm interested in following anymore and I don't like to be "followed".

I look at Facebook everyday day or two. I like keeping up with friends and what's going on in their lives. I post a little here and there. No pictures or anything too personal. I enjoy it.

I have a fb page that I use to talk to friends and co-workers. I also have a family page that we keep up with baby pictures, birthdays and vacations.

I have two friends that post their latest finds during their daily morning beach outings, I love their photos. Another friend who posts his cooking skills, a high school friend who keeps me laughing with her doggie photos and on and on.

FB is what you make it.

I am very computer literate and I have had a home PC since 1992, way before I had one at work.

I do not have a Facebook, Twitter or any other social media account. I do participate in public forums and blogs.

I saw the direction these accounts were going years ago and opted not to join. My husband has always held a very sensitive position throughout his career. We have always tried to fly below the radar and don't want people to know our business, address or phone number.

We are both retired now, but see no reason to have any social media accounts. My daughter's MIL and an older family member of mine were given iPads for Christmas a few years ago and both, ended up doing things and giving out info that they shouldn't have.

Often I view Facebook to see what is going on. I can do this because a lot of info is public.

i am so cautious that I gave a fake name when I had to sign up for Google in order to use a tablet. I hate that Google gives out your real name even though you are using a nick name.

If you Google my name, not much comes up. I like It that way.

I have tried it twice. The first time all these people I didn't know nor want to know, kept trying to befriend me. I had no interest in that, at all. Time passed ,and I am on again, but only to keep up with my kids.
