i am a facebook user and i love it cos i have the chance to post my pictures and keep in touch with friends. facebook is one way of knowing whats the latest news about ur friends life and so ur family can also see new pictures of u. i heard about other users dilemma on Fb that they are getting not so nice msgs from other people and their identity was stolen by someone else. well, i think the only way to prevent this is to be responsible of what we write on FB.. lets be discreet about our private life. dont share everything abt u to everyone cos ur not a celebrity whos life is an open book . leave ur private life "private". only share details that are not too personal . this way u are worry free.

At one point, your opinion is great, it is acceptable, and it is how should we "play" on facebook. But for some people, perhaps your opinion is not applicable, since for some people, facebook is a place where they shared their thoughts, their life story, their feelings, their happiness, their sadness, misery and even anger. Its some kind of garbage box for them, where they throw all of their untold feelings in real life. They will not try to avoid telling their secret on facebook, because that is what they join facebook for. To throw all of burden in their heart and shoulder.

yes i do understand that but if they post something not nice and get negative response ,they dont have the right to complain cos thats what they want in the first place. cos i heard some people fighting and throwing bad words to each other and i dont think thats good and proper. if they want to fight ,take it somewhere else and not on their walls where hundreds of people to read. u'll just be a laughingstock . just be responsible with what u write.

A short while ago (about the time Jones was threatening to burn Korans) a friend (who's a Messianic - that means following the Jewish festivals etc. but believing in Jesus as the Messiah and God - Messianics have very strong objections to Islam) of mine posted a video or something on FB. I replied with some witty remarks demeaning Islam. This disappeared so, suspecting a technical glitch, I re-posted it. Then I saw my friend in the flesh and she said that she'd removed my posting because she had Muslim co-workers who she was FB friends with and didn't want to offend them. I'm generally disgusted by the way non-Muslims are expected to pussyfoot around not saying anything bad about Muslims or Islam while Muslims are allowed to do what they bloody well like, persecuting other religions and women, even committing terrorist acts! Basically the Jones Koran burning sent a very strong and incredibly dangerous message that Muslims have authority to infringe on freedom of expression by those of us in the West and have authority over Christians. Now here was somebody who belonged to a religions that's strongly antithetical to Islam (of course Islam is antithetical, often to the point of murderous violence, to all other religions, even other forms of Islam), practicing this sort of pro-Islamic censorship, possible because of the firm she works for. I'm not really sure what should or can be done about this, but I feel that my freedom of speech (and possibly that of my friend) has been violated in favor of an extremely evil religion.

Don't stalk people and don't force people in to doing things that they don't want to do. Forcing people into doing things that they don't want to do is a sure fire way to get booted off of Facebook.

I actually love face book now because it is a great place to stay in touch with many people and that's why I like it and it's easier than myspace too.

..you are correct..people should be discreet with the information they disclose on their facebook accounts...we should be more responsible with what we are posting and disclosing..yes, facebook is a good social networking website wherein you can share your heartaches, sufferings, misery, happiness etc..but with regards to personal information, as much as possible, keep it private..specially when it comes to address, phone numbers and email address (as much as possible)..even personal pictures that can be considered private...in that way, we can prevent any fraudulent, illegal act that might put not just our life but also of those people close to us, in danger...this is not only applicable for facebook, but same goes to other websites...

I think it's okay to talk about private matters if your contacts on facebook are people you really know and trust. That's what I do - I only add people I've met personally and have talked to many times so that I don't have to worry about giving too much information that might get me into trouble. Even so, you might have to worry about posting things that other people might consider too sensitive. They might not appreciate those things and they could get you into an argument.

I totally agree with you. Check out Failbook[dot]com, though. You'll find tons of Facebook fails there. :D

I agree with you %100, leave the drama off FB! I hate it when people use their status on facebook to post about all the drama in their lives. No one cares!!And no one wants to hear about it either! I have had friends that openly fight on FB with their friends posting all sorts of nasty comments to each other. No one wants to hear about that either. I think if you want to go all public and fight like a bunch of yahoos go on Springer so we can get a laugh, LOL. ;)
