| 1145751 | 2010-10-17 21:41:00 | I never have been one for these social networking sites and have always been a bit cautious into rushing into these kind of things on the internet like a blazing comet. Experiance I have noticed is givng me more and more reason to not bother and to infcat warn the kids about it and show them the dangers. Either its the kiwi way but I do find that some places just use it to attack individuals despite all the warnings and measures facebook have in place I am sure it is getting harder to Police. Whats your thoughts do you think Facebook is becoming stalkbook? |

| 1145752 | 2010-10-17 21:46:00 | Yup, and most of these social networking sites are also used for malware (esp Facebook). Since, a lot of people visit them, a hacker would have a field day. One reason I dont use any of them. And all of them are too nosy. They want too much info |

Its great, you get to see them with their families and what they get up too....fantastic site, though for kids, I understand your worries. | SolMiester (139) | ||
| 1145755 | 2010-10-17 22:47:00 | The only reason I joined Facebook was to keep in touch with them all . I find that quite - um, impersonal, I suppose is the word . My friends - I email them, I mail didsk, I phone them and I visit them . Having some kind of semi-public noticeboard and requiring people to join and log in to see a general announcement or something seems rather rude to me . |

I hardly ever e-mailed them before, so have much better contact with them now.....impersonal?, no more so than an e-mail....only a phone call or skype would be better IMO...but you cant do that with 12 hours differences in time...very easily anyway! |

| 1145757 | 2010-10-17 23:56:00 | That and there's nothing saying it has to be public. Same for your profile, change it to private so people can't see diddly squat about your life. Problem solved. Nothing to get upset or worried about unless you're careless. So, people should potentially be aware (Not "warned", sounds like a natural disaster is about to hit) of the dangers of foolish behavior, but it's not difficult to be sensible about what you do online. |

| 1145759 | 2010-10-18 00:27:00 | I had looked at facebook but decided not to join. They want far too much information about you. Have heard of people getting heaps of friend requests from people they don't even know. | QW. (15883) | ||

Have heard of people getting heaps of friend requests from people they don't even know. That's why they're "requests", so you can deny them ... it doesn't just outright give out your information ;) |
