Facebook: Do you share everything that happens to you here?

Since I think most people have Facebook accounts. I was wondering why Facebook is now growing like wild fire and beginning to be like twitter perhaps. I see friends, posting stuff about what they are doing, and what they are thinking. So, I am asking the people here in Mylot, do you guys also post stuff like these on your Facebook Status?

Not at all i still love my privacy i only share small photos not plenty since I have many gamer friend and that account of mine is simply made for gaming and not to share personal life. I post status sometimes related to games annoying status or other worthy saying, greeting or some shout out to those whom i hate but i name name them if they could read and they have a great perception they could actually guess it is all about them. I rarely post status messages i just come there to play and greet some great friends.

Well, there should be a line between cyber life and real life. But, facebook does have a tinge of real life as well. On my Facebook account, is all about the real me. I do not have a separate account just for my online friends though. So, I do carefully select what to post and upload on facebook. I love a tinge of privacy as well. Thank you for responding. Happy Mylotting.

Sometimes since almost all of my friends there are really my friends in real life. I think it's just right to let people know what i'm up to every once in a while. What i hate is those people who share every bit of information happening in their life. It's like making it their online diary or something.

You're right. Well, i guess they've lost their sense of privacy. Or maybe they're feeling like a celebrity.

I do share events in my life at facebook sometimes but not everything. I've noticed that too, some of my friends are using facebook like twitter where they post from time to time and share what they are doing.

That is my primary question I ask. Most of my friends do the same. They treat facebook somewhat like twitter. And they start twitting on facebook. Some even chat there via even their status. Which I find annoying sometimes.

Wow this discussion sure is interesting. definitely, most of the people here in mylot would definitely have their own facebook accounts since it was widely used and it was a lot more convenient for users. In my case, I loved posting anything that I feel like writing in my facebook status because most of my friends comment on it and when they comment it can be really humorous. When I'm feeling down I typed down some sad quotes that I can relate to and then, my friends and even strangers do express their sympathy and concern for me through. Some would just be curious so they comment and it would be something that I can appreciate somehow. I actually check my friend's and family's facebook status every time I go through the site because It's the only way that I can be updated to the things that's happening to them even if I'm away. There was even one time that my brother told me that it's my fb status served like my diary.

Well, I hope more people respond. But, Thank you for taking time and responding. Well, I don't really go into their Facebook accounts just to check their status. But, making your Facebook into your online diary is somehow asking for trouble.

I see a lot of people posting their every move, which I don't understand. I post silly things and nothing that will let people know where I am. You just never know who is watching the posts....

Well, for me it would be fine to post about something from time to time like "You are happy and etc." But, every move is weird in my book. Sometimes, even the not so needed stuff to know are posted which is sad somehow. Thanks for your response. Happy Mylotting.

That's not true. I think people don't share everything on internet. For example I search on internet when like a girl real life when I learned her name.And that's works.

Hi. Jacobus1919. No. I don't. I never share anything personal on Facebook. I may do so at myLot. There are just too many troublemakers and instigators on Facebook that I don't trust. I don't want them to know every detail of my life like that.

I don't post every single thing that's happening in my life on facebook. Even photos, I don;t post all of them. Facebook literally takes your life as an open book for the world to see. I don't want that. I want to preserve my privacy. I am very selective with what I post.

I totally understand your stand about facebook. But, what I do not understand is why people post everything about their lives. And allow people too see everything about them. And yes, some do post even their mobile numbers. Thank you for sharing. Happy Mylotting.

Well, i don't write anything like that on my facebook status. I don't like to share my personal life there. I just post some quotes and stuff like that. As i know if there are our friends on facebook then there may be our enemies too. Happy mylotting. Regards, harry.

I am also dislike this things of facebook. Everything is open for all if we make a friend anyone if post the message of our friend's wall then that can see everybody. This is not fare. Like orkut we cannot hide some scraps/walls or some personal information. This shows all what are doing our friends and what we are doing. This is popular because by this we can earn the money.

Yes, I know and understand your idea. Personal information are suppose to be shared only with people who are close with you and not just anyone. So, I try not hide my personal stuff on Facebook. Thank you for sharing. Happy mylotting.
