I have to reply here: had a facebook account, deleted it--to me its just plain voyeuristic--and a great way to show how mundane a life can be. I posted and connected with old high school friends then found out that we did not politically jive--The author Thomas Wolfe was right when he wrote that you can never go home.

...and now employers are using it to see what their employers are up to, teachers are getting fired and the list goes on.

people put stupid funny things on their page and sometimes it ends up being to their detriment when it comes time to look for employment.

Great for catching criminals though--the FBI and local police now monitor it to see who is being naughty and who is being nice.

Someone once told me that back in the day each small town had its crank--then came the internet and social networking and now all the cranks can get together and became one big crank...

Great tool.

Its a zombie landscape full of commercial brain eating vultures. User beware.
