Great idea. Is there some other service though?


No Fakebook here either.

:rant: When I first signed up and realized that FB went through ALL of my email, not just my address book, to add names of people FB thought I should invite to FB, I instantly deleted my FB account.

I found it incredibly invasive, and read the fine print, which does say it will do exactly what it did.
 
facebook is the devil.
 
well then you get people asking why you wont accept them.. it gets messy..
i just wanted it for family and work friends..I dont like people.. including my friends, to know my biz

Nobody is forcing you to accept Facebook friend requests. Ignore the requests from people you don't want to be firends with and problem solved.

What pisses me off with facebook is after you receive a few friend requests, the system automatically creates a proxy page for you for other people to find and link to. I don't know if facebook still allows it, but for a while people on facebook could create a proxy-or temporary page for someone they know, until that person signed on themselves and took over! Next thing you know, people are sending you friend requests and wondering why you don't friend them back. The biggest problem with facebook is it throws privacy out the window. I have no problem with anything I would choose to post on facebook, but with everything posted by others that get linked to me. I don't even have a facebook account, yet I have tons and tons of people from my past trying to be friends. Besides, I have enough family and friends who post pictures of me, the wife and kids, etc.. so I don't feel I need to add to it. I'd prefer they all didn't do that.

I've got family and friends that are often confused about me being the big time computer / IT guy and yet I don't do facebook and only use twitter maybe once a month. Aside from being a total post whore on reduser.net, I'm actually a guy that enjoys a bit of privacy. Some people get pretty offended when they send me a friend request and I ignore it. But oh well, I just tell them I don't do facebook because I don't like it and how it works. Some are OK with that, some think I'm a complete ass. I don't care.

I did use LinkedIn for a while, but had a bad experience there, so have wiped myself from that place as best as I could. It's a better setup than facebook, IMO. But I guess the reason for facebook's success is the grand openness of the whole thing, which I'm sure will eventually be its downfall.
 
Haha, this is funny because most of the time there's very few people I want to keep in contact with after a shoot wraps... ;-) but then again, there's good sets too where everyone becomes your best friend.
 
Facebook doesn't tell people if you deny their friend request... only someone who checks their friends list everyday would know
 
The problem with facebook is that their original promise was to keep everything private. They broke that promise. Several times.

I use Facebook as a tool to keep in touch with people, but treat everything I post as (potentially) open, i.e. no private data, no photos of the kids.

The reason why Facebook is still growing is the lack of a proper, privacy-keeping, alternative. The moment that one comes, Facebook and Zuckerberg will go the Myspace way.
 
So what if people get butt hurt about you not adding them as a friend. If you don't want to deal with them then don't add them. That should also let those people know that you aren't their friend. I just had someone send a friend request that I hate. I have no problem denying them. Also its not like you have to post your whole life on there. I mean if you really wanted to be clever about the whole thing you would have fake posts just to mess with people. You share what you want to, kind of like real life.

I find Facebook to be useful to meet up with people for shoots. I guess you could do the same thing through email but this way its in a more centralized area and easier to view.
 
I have no problem denying people and letting them know I dont care to add them...

its the whole thing where someone will post a picture.. and my name is attached to a picture...

next thing you know theres a picture of me that I might not want on the internet.. with my name attached to it...
you google my name and that picture might show up.. thats the kinda stuff im not into
 
Social engineering sites=Big Brother.

Too much under-the-hood information gathering, sharing, and resultant marketing and doublethink propagation for me.

I'm not an anarchist, but I also believe this insidious information collecting for the purpose of marketing is nothing more than mind-control through the creation of societal thinking.

THINK for yourselves people!

that could happen on ANY WEB SITE!
Maybe someone uploads a video you don't like to youtube and tags your name, maybe you get pulled over and see yourself on america's stupidest drunk drivers who knows. (Not to imply that your the type of person who would be on america's stupidest drunk drivers)
