Isn't it the same here ?

Yes it is but here we are anonymous so there isn't any hurt feelings if we were to vent about our family problems. With FB that isn't the case.

ITA. And yes, it is juvenile.

[bikerbabe]

I've seen too many back-and-forth fights play out over Facebook for all friends and family to read. Why do people lose all common sense when it comes to social media and the Internet?

While dirty laundry may be what divides family, posting about it on any social media outlet is really going too far.

Thank goodness none of my Facebook friends air any dirty laundry there. I've found it's a great way to keep in touch with those you don't see very often. Many of my former band members are my friends on FB. And I keep a very tight rein on who I have as friends.

I didn't know you were in a band Sushismom. What kind of music?

[deepwaterdotter]

I've never joined facebook. I can only imagine the things that might be posted there about me.

Oh, it was a long time ago. Mostly R&B, Latin, funk, some blues. Unfortunately, life got in the way for me but quite a few of my friends are still playing. And local musicians are usually a tight-knit group so many I knew but never played with are on my FB friends list.

ETA: One of the great things about FB is I can keep up with where my friends are playing and support live bands.

not true in all cases.

a tell all poster had her son and dil ask her to quit posting about them on here. they were very upset that she was posting about them. she even posted about her dil's private area one night and told the whole story. dil was upset after she read it. being anonymous might be great but not when your family members know who you are and see your posts.

Oh, that is so great. I am so jealous of people who are musically inclined whether it be singing or playing instruments. I love music and about any genre but it doesn't love me.

[Sushismom]

For some reason music comes easy to me. I play keys, tenor and alto sax, and flute. But I do wish I could sing well. I'm passable when in harmony with others but that's about it.
